I can’t help but well up every time he comes on screen. I think I have a condition.

Eddie Fucking Howe

[nemtizz]

Can't recall the podcast but it was a BBC one. They mentioned Howe doing a presentation at HT on how our running stats have dropped in the second half over the course of the season. Has this been mentioned elsewhere? What perfect motivation that had to be, and at half-time, too.

been mentioned on a couple of tv interviews.

inspired.

[Kanj]

Yep, held out on presenting that to the players until timing was right and did it in the cup final. brilliant. 

[PauloGeordio]

Back to business. Hope we carry the amazing Cup win, celebrations and positivity forward into our remaining games and finish strong.

 

Has humility too. Such a fantastic manager fit for us.

People talk about the takeover, and rightly so. But imagine if the takeover happens and we go for the wrong manager. We might still have got relegated and ended up at least a year behind as well as missing out on the chance to sign the class lads we have now. 
 

It wasn’t a given that we’d turn things around, it needed a bloke absolutely committed to his task and who would give everything to get us moving forward.

We were so lucky to get him. Perfect for us.

Very few coaches in world football have this squad in this position.

Keith Downie: "How long did Eddie Howe give himself before he switched his mind to Brentford after the Cup Final?"

 

“Really honestly…it was the next day. It's just how I'm wired, it's how I'm built. I tried to have a word with myself and change how I am, but I couldn't. “So I was back watching the Liverpool game the next day on my own, analysing the game and going through it for what we need to improve. I went easy on myself, I gave myself a night."

 

Focused.

PIF did a great job in identifying the right man. Both first choices have been undeniably successful, Emery at Villa and Howe at Newcastle. Either would have been great choices, but Howe was the right fit, and apart from any other reason, because he wanted it more. That means he is more likely to be a long term success here IMO.

One thing about PIF is that they’re notioriously strategic and process driven. Every penny is accounted for and purposeful. When you have unlimited money it’s easy to be careless and a bit like Chelsea but I’ve been surprised how sound the decision making has been in general. With great power comes great responsibility and it does seem they’ve been very good on that front
