MagMal Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I think he is exactly what we need at this time, young, smart, a good communicator and no massive expectations on his shoulders because he has won trophies in other countries or this. The added bonus will be that he is well liked in the media and football circles by both those who can think for themselves and the sky sports PFM dinosaurs, this should take a bit of heat off the club and give him a bit of an easier ride in the media Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor handled = Doing due diligence, well i for one like this way of doing things, whether Howe is a success or not. A jump the gun leak away from the perfect process. Such a shame, mind had Howe been No1 I’d have wondered about their ambition not to try for other targets first.

SUPERTOON Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Think he could be a success if we get a sporting director in to work with him I assume they will be the next appointment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny Green Balls Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 He seems like a dude who is obsessed with becoming better. And he has the cajones to take this tricky project. This could be a fantastic marriage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bonk Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) 3 minutes ago, wormy said: Would've taken him when the takeover was first announced. Only feeling a little disappointed after some of the other names that have been bandied about. All in all it's a step up and more ambitious a hire than 8/10 of Mike Ashley's hires, one of which was cynical and the other of which fell in to his lap. Im all in. Welcome, Eddie. Need to take the positives out of our search. It's given our ownership group a full view of how deep in the shit the club is, what type of investment is needed and getting the right executives in to turn our front office into a professional organization.

frankpingel Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 A thumbs up from me, he talks well and isn't an embarrassing mess so that's a start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 He wasn’t on my “absolutely don’t want” list with the likes of Lampard, Gerrard, Martinez, and Terry, so that’ll do for me. Probably the most middling appointment we could’ve made from the linked names. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
christ Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I wonder what holiday allowance he negotiated? Bruce was on two day weeks by the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 2 minutes ago, Stifler said: He’s not someone who was on my list at all, and is someone I have doubt about because I think he can be a bit naive tactically sometimes. In saying this I’ll give him a chance. Even though it went wrong in the end at Bournemouth, he did fantastic into making them what they are today. You could say that he suffered from a lack of investment, things maybe went stale, and they certainly hit the ceiling for the club. Fuck, this means Ritchie is never fucking leaving. Who sold Ritchie to us like? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameritoon Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Same as others have said, not exactly my ideal appointment, but he's clearly got something about him and it's just nice to have a real manager again. Hope he can pull us out of the shit and we can have a fun summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Would have taken him from the start, and happy to get behind him now. He may unfortunately need more time than he has to wake the players from the slumber Bruce has put them in but we shall see. There's certainly more to work with from them than what's being shown. First target is obviously to just at least be within a few points of safety by the time we can spend some money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGuv Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 He’s 43 and has managed 545 games. He’s as ready as he’ll ever be. We talked about poaching Rodgers from Leicester. What if Howe becomes our Rodgers and builds something? I’m really excited for this. Please please just keep us up and watch us rocket. This could be a Keegan era for the 2020s.

Novocastrian Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) Slightly disappointed after the euphoria of the takeover but keen to see him take the reins and see what he can do. Also put £15 on at 20-1 so that will be a nice sweetener going into the weekend. Edited November 4, 2021 by Novocastrian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackandWhite Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 He obviously done a miraculous job at Bournemouth, but overspending on primma donnas brought them back down to the championship. I am not sure how much of that was down to Howe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Happy with this, anything is a step up from Bruce. Seen a lot of his coaching videos and its clear he has a style and an actual plan. Lets hope it works out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
