Eddie Howe

[Collage]

it’s a blow, no doubt. Hopefully we can win anyway. 

[Yorkie]

Bah and of course he isn't going to be training either. Sake man.

He is, remotely ??

[Interpolic]

Absolute fucking typical Newcastle. 

 

Welcome Eddie, this sort of thing happens a lot

[54]

While it's obviously fucking annoying, it's 2021 so not as awful as it would have been even 10 years ago:

Because he’s joint assistant manager 

 

 

He's not going to have them debate every move, he's gonna put one them in charge with final say. Anything else would make no sense.

I love him already. 

[cubaricho]

Can't we just get one of these for Eddie for the week?

Love it. 

[ScottishMagpie]

Can we not have him driven on to the pitch on one of them pope-mobile things?

Joint Assistant Managers is so odd. Who's actually in charge in the touchline? I trust Tindall to stick to Eddie's plan more. 

It’s really odd. Jones was talking about definitely staying and being an assistant before we even brought a manager in  Its like he just decided he isn’t leaving and given himself a title.

It’s likely he’s got one of Ashley’s special contracts

Honestly couldn't make this shit up, biggest game in ages. Just hope non of the players get it. Would have been great just to show Eddie the support he has got.

[Ikon]

This is what happens as a Toon fan when you beg God for a positive result. 

[Wilson]

Aye....of course tbh surprised none of us predicted it.

Is this club actually, genuinely cursed?

Sabotaged by the big 6, Chelsea sent in one of there undercover coaches.

250,000,000 people have caught covid...so I'd say nope.

[JB]

Of course this happens to us

Lifelong Bournemouth fan here (since the mid-80s). Have been following this thread since the spotlight fell on Eddie. Was going to contribute earlier, but @cherryredbeat me to it and said a lot of the same things I would’ve. 

It’s been interesting to watch the mood evolve from sceptical/disappointed to real optimism and excitement around his appointment as you guys get to know (through vids/articles etc) a bit more about him as a manager and as a man. 
 

I hope that the tens of thousands of fans that aren’t on this forum will give him the same chance as it looks like you will. Unlike some other Cherries, I actually think this could be a match made in heaven, so long as the owners and fans can buy into Eddie’s long term vision. Eddie will bring a work-ethic, passion, intelligence and relentless desire to better not just himself and the players, but every aspect of the club and its facilities. The fact that he can be so devoted to coaching the team and every individual within it whilst simultaneously having huge and crystal clear vision for a club more broadly is pretty unparalleled. He may not give you the immediate shot in the arm of a Big Sam, but if you stick with him (whether staying up or going down) he could build you a dynasty.

 

And to show that I’m happy to put my money and time where my mouth is, the lad and I have just bought tickets for the Brentford game so we can be there for the start of the next step in Eddie’s journey. Going to be weird properly supporting another team for the first time ever!
 

And don’t worry about this falling through. Jason Tindall is just negotiating where his sunbed is going to go, and Eddie just needs to make sure the owners can spell his name.
 

Genuinely good luck, and give the guy some time. He’s pure class. 

 

 

 

 

 

Absolutely devastated. Early morning tomorrow for me and the lad to come up and join the mags to celebrate the start of your new era under our hero. A chance for us to say the goodbye to Eddie that was denied us by the failure of goal line technology, lockdown and relegation. Just can’t believe that we’ll be at SJP and he won’t be. We were so excited for the match. We really know how good this guy is. Feel a bit numb. Guess it’s even worse for you guys: you are just crying out for a few things to fall into place, and the whole city will be out to support Eddie’s new era, but it seems like fate has stuck her middle finger up at you again. Don’t know what to do now. This match has been keeping me going since the prospect of Eddie joining you gained traction. Gutted.
