mighty__mag Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Brilliant news this, the owners clearly see the quality he has. Best thing that happened to him was staying out of the game and revising his strategy, he's come back stronger, and its totally evident. 👏🏻 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good grief, this man really is absolutely shite at what he's supposed to do. How many years on the contract Lee? "Oh more than one, certainly..." Well deserved for Howe though, hope his multiple years bring multiple successes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is a great match for us too, his passion for improving us and the high regard that he has for the club and city is hugely recognised by the fans. The backing that he, the players and his staff have is clearly hugely important to them too. Without sounding deluded about our support, the backing we gave them last season wouldn’t have happened anywhere else. Mehrdad said they see him as our Alex Ferguson, whilst he will obviously not mirror his success, there’s no reason he can’t be here for a long time and have us in Europe regularly, winning a trophy. Could see him wanting to be here long term and not take the London FC job as mentioned earlier today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think providing the manager is of good quality then giving them a long time to mould the squad gives us the highest chance of success, not many clubs out there with that continuity. I'd also much rather see Howe work his way to a trophy and have the story of when he first arrived and all the successes than someone else come in make some minor tweaks then win a trophy.

PauloGeordio Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Rafa and Eddie, both legends of their times at this club. Eddie is for now and the future. Rafa did wonders under the fuckwit child owner. Love them both. Glad it’s Eddie taking us onwards and upwards. It’s his time. It’s our time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could arguably say him turning us into a mid-table club and bringing us together in spite of Ashley, is what attracted Staveley and PIF. No doubt he'd have done well here now but Howe is perfect for where we are now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikenewcastle Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Rafa finishing top half in 2018 is probably a miracle that doesn't get enough praise. Will always love him, but couldn't be happier with Eddie right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeepShow4life Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Best signing we've made all summer, by a mile. He's so far been the best manager we've had since Sir Bobby, obviously apart from Benitez there hasn't been much competition though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we've struck gold with this guy. We may just have got him at the right time. Failure can act as a springboard with the right mentality. I saw a documentary recently, where Gordon Strachan was talking about meeting Ferguson when he became the Aberdeen manager, and realised that he was facing a 'wounded animal'. Beneath that charming exterior, I wonder if that's what's lurking in Eddie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything points to Howe being a huge success and we will inevitably benefit from that. People say that we won't replicate the form of last season, which is fair, but it also suggests he was unlikely to repeat that form if he had signed for any other club. It's fucking Kismet motherfuckers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 It's probably already been said, but probably our best signing since the takeover. I can't think of a single thing I can criticise about his methods. He's meticulous in preparation, knows how to handle his players - they must love him - imagine how you would feel if you were Schar or Burn and you got picked ahead of Botman because you earned it off last season's performances. He speaks lucidly and with intelligence. He's respectful but firm. Oh and his football is a joy to watch. I can barely wait for the next match these days.
