Colos Short and Curlies Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Had completely forgot that Howe was actually the initial catalyst to the takeover by getting Schteve sacked. He played the (very) long game there! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that many people at the time thought that Dalglish would just tighten us up defensively, and we would win the league, obviously didnt happen. Then in hindsight people thought if only Robson had taken over when Keegan left we would have won the league, hard to say. What I do think is, that if Eddie Howe, and his fantastic coaching, superb defence, shithousing, game management, player reinvigoration etc had taken over (impossible I know), then we would most definitely have won the league. It's an interesting one, obviously. But I think it's difficult to compare not least as football and it's associated technologies have come on in such a major way in the past 25 years. Howe has access to statistics, equipment and support staff that Robson couldn't have dreamed of, for example. So it's fair to question what Howe would've been like in 1997, and conversely what a 40 year old Robson or Keegan would be like today. Fwiw, I'm sure Howe and Robson would've flourished. Keegan I should never count out, and he always drove for the best, but I wonder if all the DoFs and xGs and game management etc. would've tainted his love for the game and put him off doing it in the first place.

Dr Venkman Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I'll hold my hands up. I was very, very nervous after that home draw to Watford (went to the Cambridge game and then that) and wasn't sure it was going to turn around for him, I would have taken Rafa back at that point. Eddie got the job done with plenty to spare though and I wouldn't swap him for any other coach in the world now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Geese Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Eddie's press conference...... Anybody else think Eddie was bubbling when asked about any incoming transfers, he definitely wasn't defensive, if anything there was a hint of a grin! especially when he explained any incoming player need to be premier league ready, though that doesn't rule out an overseas player! Also, he'd like to think the player would excite the supporters. I reckon or hope there's a big transfer in the offing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
