Eddie Howe - Nominated for Manager of the Season


Recommended Posts

Howe's main problem will come in a couple of years time. That first raft of players we brought into the club in the first 2 windows will all be 4 or 5 years older and they too will need to be replaced, I'm thinking Trippier, Burn, Targett, Pope and Bruno (to a lesser extent). So not only will he need to continue to weed out the malingerers from the squad he inherited but he'll also need to start planning to replace the replacements. The youth teams don't appear to be churning out masses of talent and the younger players we've invested in are still a few years from developing into useful squad players. 

 

We're going to be constantly chasing for at least another 10 years yet imo. Players age and need upgrading and that includes who we have already brought in. We desperately need to get the youth system right and it needs to start producing very soon or I fear we'll never really bridge that gap. Seeing even a couple of players introduced each year would be huge, introducing players capable of even PL-squad level means more cash can go into the stars. This was the squad he inherited from the pig:

That is a squad of players that was, literally, worthless. He had virtually nothing to build on and I think that gets ignored too often and makes what he's done even more impressive

Man, this guy, I tell you what he’s rising up the ranks for me. I don’t think I could ever love anyone in football as much as Keegan but Eddie is really starting to make a surge for that top spot 

 

Hes already there for me but that's because I was 8 when Keegan left.

Nominated for manager of the season! 

 

What is the criteria for this? Does it include European competitions? Does it include domestic ones? 

 

I think Emery should be in with a shout if they make CL and it does factor European comps 

 

Can see Slot getting it as it everyone thought top 4 would be good for them + the Liverpool love in

I feel like a title winning manager is always going to win it; esp first season for Slot - but the job Howe and Nuno have done has been fucking remarkable like.

Yeh Slot deserves it.

 

After Slot, it's a toss up between Nuno and Eddie. Probably Nuno. Most had Forest finishing bottom half.

 

Hard to predict with so much to be decided. If we finish 2nd, it's Eddie for me.

Does he though? Liverpool were always challenging for the league so what is the surprise?

He's the first non-dickhead Liverpool have employed in years?
