Eddie Howe

[CallumG6]

Be interesting to see what he says about that.

 

Love the bloke but he’s got 3 games to save his job. Go out of the cup and poor results in the other two I think the board will pull the trigger before January and I wouldn’t blame them.

Pressures on. Brentford home game is absolutely huge for him.

That’s truly shocking 

[Hovagod]

I suppose the reason you don’t get rid of a manager is because they will come good and achieve your ambitions. Howe is not going to do that, is he? He will never win us anything.  Being honest with ourselves, he isn’t.  Nor will any other fucker, of course, but a roll of the dice can at least freshen things up, spark…something. We are like the definition of a football ceiling at this point but personally I would enjoy a new manger to give us that same boost Howe did. So whatever.

That wouldn’t be defendable if you were bottom three …

Gone down hill since he made Bruno captain IMO, was an unnecessary thing to do, and he isn't a leader. 

 

Wonder if that's maybe disgruntled the players a bit?

 

Definitely feel this, although Bruno is a brilliant character, he's not the leader. 

 

The group of Lascelles,Trippier, Wilson, Burn, they were the core group who everyone was looking up to when they arrived. Trippier was a brilliant captain during the early period. 

 

The fact none of us truly know what's gone on in his private life, the fact he's looked to get away perhaps forced the manager into a change of heart, Bruno is certainly the leader on the pitch while orchestrating what we do, but I'm not sure for captaining.

[Collage]

Who would you go for then?

Struggle to see him turning the inconsistency around because Botman will not be the cure. I had hoped he’d be here for a long time and he has been hamstrung by PSR, and a weird obsession with Guehi, but it’s not looking good. 
 

Everyone except Hall and Burn have been below par all season and that only points to one thing.

Not sure what he can say. It’ll be the same learn from our mistakes, put in work in the training ground. we have faith etc. 

 

It’d be unprofessional to say owt else

Who do people realistically think could come in and do better?  Sadly the players that got us forth in the league are on the decline - Pope, Tripps, Schar, Burn - we've also players out of form in Joelinton, Gordon, Bruno (to an extent - not hit the form when we finished 4th).  We've also still got Championship level players in Longstaff and Murphy.  The squad isn't the best - which is one of the reasons for our inconsistency.  Add to that our RW/LW are very young and still learning their trade.

First half was decent. Besides all the noise, we have conceded 7 in two games and I’d say 4 or 5 were very soft/due to mistakes/individual error. 
 

Been saying it since the start of the season and it hasn’t improved - we really do look poorly coached 80% of the time.

 

The negative emotional tide is truly turning against him, replace him now with who though? Not sure it’s the answer, but after the shitshow of a summer we had who knows. It’s all felt a bit toxic since Howe lost the majority of his power behind the scenes.. usually that means the clock is ticking regardless of what happens on the pitch.

It wasn’t luck to finish 4th, we were a good side and Howe provided some exceptional management and coaching.  We’re a long way short at the moment including Howe but we can’t be rewriting history. 

It wasnt luck, but it was a feelgood factor around the whole place after we got rid of Ashley. Players giving it all every game and overachieving skill wise. How many points did Almirons screamers get us? 

Not to mention very few injuries.

 

Starting to think it was just the stars aligning and that its not going to be repeatable.

Mitchell should be having discussions with Iraola about coming here from Bournemouth.

 

If he can get them playing the sort of football they do with a Ryan Christie and Lewis Cook partnership in midfield then surely he can better that with Bruno and Tonali.

Said it before and I’ll say it again, Terzic would be an excellent appointment.

Next two games must win

If he wasn't already I think Mitchell and his team will be firmly in the driving seat for deciding who comes in. Realistically the club and Mitchells role is setting a consistent style and vision throughout the club so whomever comes in as a player or manager they shouldn't need to adjust and play X bought in january shouldn't be a Howe player but a Newcastle player that will also fit the new manager.

Yeah, on pitch performance, especially away from home will be degrading Eddie’s influence on the club. Our big money signings are from his preferences and they’re not living up to their abilities. 

 

I absolutely love the guy, but he’s running out of time and I am sure Mitchell is itching to impose his will on how we’re run, including shaking up the squad Eddie built.

Would anyone have been able to predict who the current Man Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea managers would be about six months ago?  There is a narrative of ‘there’s no-one out there’, but clearly that isn’t the case.

Give him until the summer and then get someone new. 

[Ben]

Mitchell will go for Pochettino I reckon

But it would be fun. And it isn't like we are allowed to compete, so why not fuck about with Mourinho for half a season or so?

How would it be fun? You actually paid attention to the football his sides play or his last however many jobs? 
 

The man’s an utter prick and past it.

Would be interesting, for sure

[HaydnNUFC]

Know next to nowt about Terzic other than he was in charge of Dortmund and got to the CL final in addition to doing the double on us.

 

After reading the article KaKa posted about Conceicao I'd also take him.

 

And after reading many a James Horncastle article I'd also have Allegri.

 

Think Terzic and Conceicao are more likely though if we were looking for a replacement.

It wouldn’t be fun at all.  Did you ever watch a Mourinho side?  ‘Fun’ isn’t how I’d describe it.

Yeah, Liverpool plucked this bald guy from a really "meh" league. - If Mitchell does his job we will get someone that will work with how he sees the club run for the future, with our without that manager.
