I like how he is throwing his authority about mind , basically saying he loves being here but if these new lads that have just came in start messing with him he will be off , not taking any shit at all. He knows his worth .

It was a typical Howe interview, very positive , adores the fans and the club, excited for the future but also ‘let me do my job’ , how anyone can watch those interviews and spin them as negative is beyond me. Click baiting, attention seeking cunts. 

That was 100% my take, Howe is 100% in control of every first team matter at Newcastle. The club os growing to fast to control everything, he knows that and IMO appreciates the input of the executive team.

I wish Steve had done that more.

Ouroboros - I think we are going round in circles - Eddie is happy as long as the project works for him and the club - as long as those two things align - happy days - same as every club manager with ambition and grit in reality?

There's a lot of positives in that, but I can see why it makes people nervous and it's not quite the usual bed-wetting. As a one-time thing weeks after multiple leadership changes it can be brushed aside as I think it's part power play and part the reality of a new situation where the parameters aren't clearly drawn yet. If he's still making comments like this in a few weeks/months then I'd say it's more indicative of a problem.

Tbf, I love Howe and don’t want him going anywhere. However at the end of the day the club is going to be run how PIF want it ran. He’s an excellent manager but no manager is infallible. 


Going to be interesting to see how it plays out.

Haven’t seen or read the interview as an on holiday can anyone sum up ?

Unless Mitchell starts telling him who he has to buy or this Bunce fella starts telling him who he’s allowed to play, he’s going to tell the FA to get fucked, should they come for him.

This. He's certainly not going to fuck off immediately when things are difficult. He will try to rectify it and I'm sure we will see it coming if he doesn't wanna be here.

 

You want a manager with this kind it confidence to not compromise for anyone. It sets him apart from the rest.

Part of the importance of [sporting director] Paul [Mitchell] coming in with Eddie, is to let Eddie do the strengths he’s got … take away from him some of the things that if it was up to Eddie, he would spend all his time and every waking hour on.

 

What we have to do is channel Eddie onto what he does best and that is on the grass, with that he is phenomenal in terms of putting that team together.

 

 

Hmmmmm

 

Not surprised at all by this TBH, that Eales line stuck out like a sore thumb and I thought Eddie would come back with something.

 

I've said this a few times on here before as I think it's very telling but no-one seems to agree [emoji38] He's a head coach who consistently refers to himself as the manager. It might seem like semantics to some but it's always been intentional from him IMO, there are clear differences between the two roles and we have heard countless times in the press how he has final say on transfers. That's not normally the remit of a head coach.

 

I think he wants that authority to continue or he's threatening to leave. Those Eales quotes suggest he might have a fight on his hands. The fact that Mitchell apparently turned us down a few months ago and has then come in as AS has left adds a further layer of intrigue as well, I think. What's changed to make him change his mind?

 

Not saying I think Eddie's off, and I really hope he isn't, but there's clearly some work to be done.

When it comes down to it is he the head coach or the manager? Every club has the same problem with how much power do they give to the coach/manager considering most of them get sacked or leave within a couple of years. If you let them choose all the players they like, when they get replaced you tend to be back to square one unless the squad is absolute top quality.

 

I think the new management want Eddie to be the coach, in their words that's what he is good at, I expect Eddie wants to be the manager. There is a potential conflict, we will have to wait and see. If England do come calling it does give him an opt out.

Mountain out of a mole hill. Howe still has full club backing I suspect, but I doubt he’s kidding himself in thinking he has a long rope this season and knows he needs to take a step forward or he’s gone.

I like Eddie.... decent manager, happy for him to currently stay.

 

Then again, if he left for England (unlikely), I think we'd attract a world-class replacement. So we'll be absolutely fine.
