Eddie Howe

[Guest]

Scrap having a FT manager and go big on some sort of Technical Director who'll study international opposition inside-out, then go for a Head Coach and pick a squad based on form/the opposition on a game-by-game basis. 

 

Would make international football a helluva lot more interesting. You could then go for top-class managers knowing they'd only be away from their clubs for 10 days at a time, etc.

Yet Brighton fans weren't really fussed about losing him

 

That says more about Brighton fans.

 

Potter is a good coach and has tactical style that is effective. Totally comfortable passing out from the back and patient.

 

The only thing is him not being a particularly well known name.. is he going to command the respect of certain young players with egos etc.

 

Him being out of the game a while now won't do him any favours.

 

It'll be Howe they go for imho.. but not yet. Which is why I think someone like Carsley will get the job in a "caretaker role"

[Magpie]

I have absolutely no doubt he would turn it down. It's just not what he wants or needs.

 

He's an obsessive, he needs the day to day interaction.

 

10-15 years maybe but not now.

Hard to see the FA having the cash or the ambition to make a serious go at recruiting Howe.

they managed to make southgate the highest paid international manager.

[Geogaddi]

Don't even know why it gets discussed, Eddie won't be leaving us for England .

It's not just the wages, it's releasing him from his contract. 

I'm fairly confident Howe would turn it down regardless. There's a reason you rarely see top flight managers move mid-contract from club to country.

Unfathomable levels of improvement over the lucky donkey he’d replace. 

[TheHoob]

I do like to try and stay measured and cautious but I'll eat my hat if Howe goes to England like, just don't see it at all.

It gets discussed partly because he himself has described it as the ultimate job.

 

I don't think he'll take it but I'd have to be stupid to write it off as a possibility

Fits the profile that FA love of:

 

-English

-Ex-international player

-Shit club manager

-Negative football philosophy

-Insanely boring person

Graham Potter is a fair shout

[Sempiternal]

It’s the best job ever imo. Not transfers, work little compared to PL managers, he’d be a fool to not consider it

Benik Afobe, David Brooks, Chris Mepham, i would argue even Dom Solanke was a poor signing at the time and he's only had his first good season in the premier league last year.

 

Have no idea about Afobe but Bournemouth got their money back from Wolves after two seasons. Brooks cost £10m and TM had his value as high as €30m before he lost one season to an ankle injury and another to cancer ffs. Mepham is a £10m CB, I don't know how he could be seen as a failure. Solanke has more than doubled his value and is still only 26. Also cost ~£15m which really isn't much for a PL striker.

 

Looks pretty fucking good if those are the big misses alongside Ibe.

I think they’ll offer it to Potter as he’s managed down south and not in the North East 

Didn't stop them giving it to Fat Sam

It'll be Carsley imo, which while people would scoff at, wouldn't be a bad appointment, won the under 21's last year, plays fluid and attractive football, and keeps the continuity going for a lot of the players in the squad which the FA are big on.

Isn’t that what Spain have just done with de la Fuente?

Basically.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Exactly, if Guardiola wasn't favourite for the Spain job then I don't see why Howe would be favourite for the England job. Both are top managers doing a great job a their clubs and therefore won't be considering moving into international management.

And a big fan of our Anthony 

[TBG]

Could only see him going if he can't handle the pressuure/embarrassment that would come from losing our first game of the season against Southampton
