brummie Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Appointing Mourinho would be the same sort of star-fucking mistake that saw us appoint Gerrard, and Blues appoint Rooney. It would be absolutely idiotic to think that someone like him is more the man for this moment than Howe, and - to be honest - most managers already working in the PL.

Not quite the same in that Mourinho has an actual record at the highest level (however long ago) but aye, agree with the mistake point. I love the bloke to bits but I don't know that I'd want him managing my club the way football is in 2024. Edited January 17 by OpenC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different sport territory. I'm a bigger fan of mourinho than most, and more critical of Howe recently than most, but christ, I do not want this to happen. Howe is the future, mourinho like rafa is an era which is ending. It makes no sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infatuation Junkie Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) Mourinho won with a Chelsea team that was created with unlimited funds. I won’t dispute that he is a mint manager. But Eddie can make a roast dinner with an apple core. Has squeezed every last drop of football out of players who probably never thought they would ever get to such a peak in their lives. None of our players will improve at another club. All of them would either be the same or deteriorate. Other than Pep. I don’t honestly see a better manager for this club. Eddie brings everything I want and more to this club. Remember when we asked for a team that tries. We can’t ask for more than that surely. My head explodes with expectations of consistent top 4 finishes. Silverware every season. All players should be 100mill plus signings. FFP and FMV might just stop us from ever catching them big 6. But we are in a better position now that we have been for so long. I no longer care. I am enjoying every game I see. Passion, blood, sweat, tears, emotion. It’s all back.

We have to accept that this is going to take time. We are a top 8 club slightly under performing due to injuries. And a bit of bad luck. This season was always going to be difficult. Howe is the man to lead us going forward. I know he’s made mistakes but he’s never had to deal with an injury crisis this bad before. Ive never seen it so bad. And you couldn’t predict the Tonali situation. He owes us big Time when he gets back. Just got to learn from this season. It will be good. The journey will be a roller coaster.

Whilst the sentiment is correct the examples aren’t anywhere near the same. Gerrard and Rooney were nobodies in the world of management, Jose has won everything there is to win. But yeah, absolutely don’t want Eddie replaced with him or anyone else for that matter. He has earned another season with a fully fit squad 100x over.

Newcastle Fan Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Love Eddie but Mourinho is one of the greatest managers in football history and someone who wins tournaments wherever he goes so if things are still as they are in the summer its a logical step. Plus the student of Bobby Robson coming to win us our first trophy in 70 years is one hell of a story. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Now would be the perfect time to nail down Howe to a 5 year deal. If thry believe he's the man for now and for the future, then do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 4 hours ago, Vinny Green Balls said: Dr Jinx and someone else suggested such madness. Possibly just a wind up Wasn’t suggesting it. I’m just aware it’s an option the club have possibly looked at. Hes got positives to his resume, chiefly being a serial winner of trophies. He’s done it at most of his jobs. It would be a massive change in style and ethos at the club though so it’s highly unlikely to ever happen. Michel from Girona is a different prospect though, he’s going right to the top, probably to Barca unless an English club can get in first. Cut from same cloth as Pep. That’s something we should be all over with a view to a season or two down the line. Remember how long it took City to woo Pep.. that’s what’s involved in bringing the elite here.
