Been said before he's not keen working up north and relocating his family. Add into all this showing he is sloppy 2nds... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 It's done. SSN I'm in the minority with Howe. As a stop gap to the end of the season he will he will be OK imo. Knows the league and some of the players and has used the time off to better himsef. It's quite the come down unfortunately and a kick in the gut for all but Howe, that is presuming he doesn't turn us down Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-421 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 As far a saturday goes, i just want whoevers in charge of picking the team to pick the best 11 players available, and last weekend, there were (arguably) better players sat on the bench, or not even in the matchday squad. And if he can play them in their right/preferred positions, that would also help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Wherever these leaks have come from, they need to find out and stop them. This obviously hasn't helped the situation at all. Another day in the life if an nufc fan. Disappointment! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a symptom of the Ashley era here, in that the place is a shit-tip and we're asking the rodents to redecorate, but howay. There's clearly someone involved in the decision-making process who needs pinning to the floor because this business with the leak has scuppered a potentially great thing. Bit of an embarrassing day and you worry what authority the new manager is actually going to have, when it was as clear as day that he wasn't first choice. It’s a real shame we’re going down, if the situation wasn’t so dire the stakes would be a lot lower. Hire whoever, take time to get the club reorganised, get a world class manager a bit later.

Wilson Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Aye, that's shit. Worry creeps in a bit now as it seems this was their number 1 and they tried hard for him and failed, Eddie Howe isn't what I want/expected but if that's who it is, we can just move on for now. I think Howe is the plan B and will be more of a stop gap until we can entice a higher calibre manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sets us back 2 or 3 years in the grand scheme of things. I'll still be happier in the championship without Ashley than in the Premiership with him. People really need to understand just how bad a state the club is in. It's like an oil tanker we're trying to turn around here. We're not even starting from a standing start, we're still in the car driving to the warm up before the race. It'll take a long time to sort out the mess Ashley has left.

Pilko Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Eddie fucking Howe man. I'm gutted. What a disappointment, all the promise and riches and positivity of the new regime, all the exciting names mentioned, and after spending weeks on "the process" they're going for the lemon barley water of football managers. Can't be arsed me, might go back to not caring feels easier Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because Howe was available on day one doesn't mean they'd identified him as their preferred (second) choice then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robster Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 While it's disappointing, my way of dealing with whoever comes in is that they are an improvement on Bruce. For this year, all we need is for someone to get a little bit of a tune out of the players, get us to at least 17th, then we can kick on next season. If it's Howe then from 4 weeks ago, that's an upgrade. Fuck Emery. His loss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
