BGRM Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 5 minutes ago, Optimistic Nut said: If we go down too he’s probably someone who’d stay and get us up easily first attempt, and then with a larger budget build us. Could be a decent 3-4 year appointment regardless of relegation this season. Unless it’s an absolutely horrendous survival obviously but if we’re 10-12 adrift by the window it’s not going to be on him given the fixtures before then. Yeah I agree, the new owners have to consider the distinct possibility of us going down. I like the loyalty that Howe showed to Bournemouth, obviously shows a side of his character. I don’t think he would be the kind to bugger off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be a terrible manager if he made decisions like that. At the same time if he does decide to use them just let him get on with it, as he may well be able to get something out of them that gets us results. The man was using Dan Gosling in midfield long after he left us and his team played football light year's ahead of what we have recently. Just let him do his job if he does come in. In January we should then be able to start a squad rebuild. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovejoy Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 22 minutes ago, Thomson Mouse said: I’m not sure that Jones is a shit coach but I’d agree with Ritchie. But then if he comes in I doubt he’ll have a full coaching team ready to go as he’s been out a while so it makes sense he’ll work with the senior coach until he gets sorted out. As for Ritchie, he’s clearly one of the ‘senior players’ and does seem to care about the club. Working effectively with the the likes of him will get the players quickly on side. the jones is shit line is boring man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGRM Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 In every video I’ve watched of Eddie Howe he comes across as an intelligent bloke who knows what he’s talking about (which is really refreshing). I wouldn’t have even said I would have got excited about him becoming our manager 24 hours ago, but I’’m well and truly on board now. Let’s get him today and crack on getting up that league!

KDT Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Our defenders are pretty crap but I would hope he's got more to work with here then Simon Francis, Adam Smith & Steve Cook. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Howe is so underwhelming like. Honestly don’t think he’ll change that much. Can’t see him instantly thinking it makes far more sense to have a ball-playing centre half in the side rather than Ciaran twatting Clark, for example.

Fantail Breeze Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 He’s been mentioned since the start of the process. He may well be second choice to Emery, but I’m not convinced he’s that far down our list. He did a great job at Bournemouth and he’ll certainly get given every chance from me. He’s well above the Lampards and Gerrrards of the world and probably a good starting point for us to build upon. He’s not the biggest name in the world, but he’s a vast improvement on what we’ve just had. It’s a big opportunity for him and hopefully he runs with it.

Gaztoon Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) 31 minutes ago, KaKa said: Why though? He was the second choice but isn't anymore because the previous first choice showed himself up. Where is the shame in being one of the top two options for a job that is such a great opportunity. I'd be more than happy. The top guy has definitely dropped the ball, so go ahead grab it and run with it. No shame or issue mate.. some just want it to be so they can have a moan Edited November 4, 2021 by Gaztoon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDT Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Not sure why Gerrard gets such a bad rep, he's done nothing but improve that Rangers team in the League & Europe, always seems to speak well and his players seem to enjoy playing for him.

worthy Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I hope I'm dead wrong. But my gut is telling me that Howe will be a mediocrity Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 We now have the clearest indication that we should never under any circumstances have Lampard anywhere near this club, as he has received a ringing endorsement for the Newcastle job from the hippo head himself Sam Allardyce. Interesting that the PFMs don't tend to champion Eddie Howe as much. Very good sign IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 TBH it's just going to class having a new manager and a possibility of some signings, let's see what happens. Not my first choice but seems a smart guy, he has a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce was 9th choice but crowd didn't really turn on him en masse until his last match, and that was just a few rounds of 'we want Brucey out'.

I’ve watched football and supported the toon for over 40 years and plenty of cases of “underwhelming” managers (as people are saying about Howe) doing well. Only time will tell I suppose.

B-more Mag Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 If you told me we might get a manager that had kept a club from being relegated out of the football league after taking over at a 17 point defecit, got that team promoted the next season, and got them up to the PL in the course of seven seasons, taking time off to manage another club for a season, and kept them up for several seasons, I'd probably snap your hand off.

The quality of the squad, the position the club's in, the lack of enthusiasm from fans, the long term expectation, knowing you're second choice, knowing unless you pull off something incredible you're going to be replaced fairly quickly. Considering the jobs he's supposedly turned down, I don't understand why that ^ would be what you were looking for.

The role is high risk, high reward. I could see it being hugely tempting to anyone who’s not already managing a successful club or one in Europe. We’re going to have huge transfer resources available to turn things around, we’re likely going to be revolutionising all aspects of the club to make it elite in terms of training facilities. A lot of managers with confidence would back themselves to make something special of this opportunity Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
