Eddie Howe

[Famous Nick]

the whole transfer side of things need a serious review. DoF needs to dictate on direction with input from Howe of course, but if we want an assistant to Howe as a DoF it wont work. let Howe concentrate on getting the best out of the players, he done very well on that side, and let a DoF bring in proper talents.

 

Andy Howe can take a step back.

 

we need a DoF with balls, but also with an eye for a talent and for the market so Howe can trust him and not try to control him.

 

the power vacuum created by lack of action of PIF didnt result in a great summer window at a time when was the exact time to strike while the iron is hot. letting Man Utd and Spurs especially to close the gap on us in the league is the polar opposite we should be doing. them being shit and far away from top4 is our big chance to solidify ourselves in top4/top5 which is crucial as if now next two season we dont get into CL as we just finish 6th or 7th two in a row our revenues take a hit again, we cannot grow sponsors, top players may do what Isak doing now without even being to say but we offer CL ...

If he did go how long would it take to get the replacement

He’s just an immensely positive person. I think it’s easy to get wrapped up in these sagas playing out on Twitter but ultimately there’s about 4 weeks left and things will start moving. We’ve got our list (don’t we fucking know it) and he’ll be confident of filling the spots by the end of the month.

Does Howe have a press conference today ?

No he's not doing them only post match. I assume to avoid questions etc

Fairly lengthy post-match interview with Razor:

I don't get this comment...

 

Could the club tell him he has to stay?

‘It’s not that straightforward, otherwise we would have done that a long time ago,’ said Howe. ‘I don’t think we’re in a position to be able to do that currently.’

[Ellis H]

Just sounds a bit like the players have been consulted and want him gone? Depends what he means by “a long time ago” though.

[Shadow Puppets]

Watch the whole press conference. What a fucking manager, man…

Christ, we're lucky to have him.

That's seriously worrying like.

 

At least it sort of answers a question a lot of us have, even if it does raise loads of new ones

[NUFC_Sam]

Listening to that, I think Howe will create one of the best siege mentalities this season. Can’t think of many positives to losing Isak but I back Howe to get the most out of the situation.

What’s your interpretation of that?

It's obviously not true is why your conflicted

 

We can obviously force him to stay, the ground is being prepared.

It's not obviously anything, there are plenty of potential legal reasons we might not be able to enforce it.

Anyone's guess on what it could mean I think. My first guess would be us reneging on a gentleman's agreement that his agent witnessed or something

Legal reason? Such as?

 

Any legal action would take a very long time to resolve itself and we can Bankrupt the twerp. Bring the legal action in here for it.

Liverpool would never support that kind of legal action. As soon as it becomes precedent that players can break contracts then transfer fees from English clubs become worthless

It was a player suing Newcastle which destroyed the old ‘retain and transfer’ system.  Seems apropos if history repeats to destroy the player registration system.

Such as a witnessed gentleman's agreement, contract terms that stipulate situations eg if club X come in then something comes into play, or us just outright breaking the terms of the contract, plus plenty of other possibilities. 

 

For the latter part that sounds unrealistic unless the action was against another club rather than Isak himself.

He still didn’t have to say that. He could have deflected and said that “Isak currently is a Newcastle player” and left it at that, right?
