Izakaya Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Happy we've got Howe. Used to relegation and promotion, and as someone said, if he was German we'd be wanking ourself blind over him. Very pissed off it took us two defeats and a draw to get to this point when we could have had him ready to go on day one of the takeover, instead of trying to big-league every manager in Europe first.

Guest HTT II Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) Well, I’m actually fucking excited with Howe, I think he ticks a lot of boxes and it’s just great to be so engaged, interested, fascinated, hopeful and wanting someone to fucking smash it again. Howe-ay-the-lads. Edited November 4, 2021 by HTT II Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I'm really hoping he gets the current team playing better just to show he who shall not be named how much of a lazy lard scoffing cunt he really was. I think he will have a go at teams and for where we are now that's a big improvement, he isn't a PFM and seems to have standards. Wasn't sold on him but he has my full backing.

oldtype Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Based on his CV, this strikes me as the right appointment for the here and now. Younger manager who can stabilize in the short term and grow with the club. If it turns out he's brilliant, great. If he hits a ceiling, he can do good work here for 2-3 years and then we can move on to someone better when the club is ready. I think it's also important that this is probably someone whose profile is low enough that he wouldn't mind staying with us even if we end up relegated to the Championship. That's a very real possibility and we want a manager who will stick with the project regardless like Rafa did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 For what it's worth, if Howe turns out to be underwhelming I'd imagine the problem would be the ceiling, not the floor. He might not have what it takes to get us to the Champions League or win a trophy, but I think the chances that he ends up being Bruce-levels of incompetent are very low.

Not being Steve Bruce is a huge benefit for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
