Eddie Howe

[PauloGeordio]

We’re so lucky to have a man of his calibre in amongst all the other shambles going on at the moment. Wor gaffa.

Not only does he not look washed out or pissed off, he actually looks very well and perfectly calm and composed 

 

Honestly ... this is just ridiculous! 

 

 

I honestly shudder when I think back to what came before him ( Rafa excepted ). 

 

Too easy to take this man for granted. What a brilliant ambassador he is for the whole city. 

[Shadow Puppets]

Press conference was excellent. He looks absolutely fine 👍🏻

[Whitley mag]

Great coach and ambassador for the club, but he really shouldn’t have this much control, or responsibility for transfers.

He clearly should have input, but this obsession with PL experience is definitely a contributing factor to this summers struggles.

 

[London Mag]

You really thinks he wants it this way mate?

Who else is choosing the targets this summer ?

[London Mag]

That wasn't tbe question.

Fact is, this scenario has been dropped on him from deficient owners

[The College Dropout]

Eddie is doing Eddie - professional and diplomatic.  
 

‘hurtling towards the end of the window’ - he knows we’ve got to get a lot of business done in a short manner of time.  That’s the most I’ve taken from the interview. Everyone knows that mind.

Most of us knew this from the start. Should’ve been processes in place to go a different route when it became clear the PL route wasn’t going to be successful 

[Kid Icarus]

Don't have an issue with the targets on their own, it's the insistence on trying to go under valuation with other clubs potentially interested and willing to pay what the selling club wants, moving at a snail's pace, failing to react or prepare for obvious market changes , and then doing it yet a-fucking-gain that's beyond a joke.

 

Of our reported targets plenty of them aren't PL players - Ekitike, Scalvini, Sesko and others, but when you're getting down the list and reach Jackson rather than taking a punt on a PL unknown vs a known player who's not worth it, it's clear that something has gone seriously wrong.

Eddie is a great manager. Be careful what you wish for

Owners are accountable for the mess, but we seem to be doubling down on PL targets with huge premiums attached. There’s only one man choosing these targets at the moment.

[London Mag]

That's because hr doesn't want to sign players who aten't better than what we've got

We could literally end the window with no strikers in the squad and you’d try to put a positive spin on it. 

 

Of course he’s not fine. He’s fuming and so he should be.

It’s always the aim to sign players better than what you’ve got, my point being there must be some outside the PL that we just aren’t considering.

If you dont believe that wanting somebody in the key position that you've actually placed them whilst seeing off 2 DoF's is not somebodys desire then i wonder what else it can be seen as?

 

It is evident there was a power struggle and there was a winner and a loser, leaving this situation. So that would mean its exactly what they wanted and the person left in the backroom was hand picked

Needs to take a back seat as far as transfers are concerned in the future. 

Him and the players are the only positives about the club so I don't wanna be to hard on the lad.

Never read so much bollocks in my life.

Manager has improved practically every player here and who has been signed, two champions league qualies, one domestic trophy. This manager should be handed the keys

He basically has the keys now. Where's the players he wants?

[London Mag]

He's hamstrung by a PSR dictated wage structure which means he can't buy finished articles. Everything else is either a gamble (we can't afford gambles)or no better than what we have

[Kid Icarus]

I highly doubt Howe is the one dictating the size of the offers we put in. For that reason alone I don't have any blame for Howe really.
