Whitley mag Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 7 hours ago, OverThere said: Generally it's not a good idea to hire your relatives because you can't be objective. They may be great or may be terrible but either way you are not going to be objective. Agree it just isn’t healthy in my opinion and find it hard to believe Howe junior would be employed by club if Eddie wasn’t there. If he deserves his promotion from within due to performance so be it, but who made the decision to promote him and was the role advertised to find the best candidate, I’m guessing probably not.

Dr Venkman Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Definitely nothing suspect about a relative of the head coach being quickly promoted while the club are between sporting directors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been in the role 2 months according to LinkedIn, so it would have been Ashworth who appointed him. I swear people just want to be annoyed about something all the time.

Nepotism just inherently looks dodgy like, not sure why ‘people’ have such an issue accepting that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly my point, someone has been promoted at work and outsiders are commenting on it whilst knowing absolutely none of the facts, it's pathetic.

If he’s very good at his job wouldn’t other clubs been after him before we got him? Im not saying he’s bad or anything but we certainly could have appointed someone totally unrelated of the same profile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eales did build a professional football club from absolutely nothing like, TBF. Surely that requires quite the skill set.

The difficult part of the operation would be securing the funding, the rest is manageable by any competent administrator. And again, I’m not saying he’s bad or anything but setting up an MLS franchise doesn’t make him elite in my book. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough Michael Edwards who would be the number one choice of many was promoted from within at Liverpool. Many dismissed Richard Hughes as a Howe stooge, until Edwards recommended him to Liverpool. He's highly thought of in general. This could well have nepotistic undertones, it'd be daft to dismiss it out of hand, but the idea folk who aren't "elite" don't get a sniff higher up the pecking order isn't particularly true.

It's rife in football, like. Do Danns, Koumas and Clark for example get their breaks at an early age if their dad's weren't professional footballers?
