Eddie Howe

Recommended Posts

If they'd have gotten him in right away it would have seemed a bit less of an underwhelming appointment, a few weeks of speculation hasn't helped at all. 

 

A few months ago I'd have chopped my knob off for Howe to come in and replace Bruce, the first manager to come in was always going to be harder to attract.

More excited if it’s true he’s bringing his own coaching team with him 

 

Yeah just saw that tweet. He insisted on it.

 

It also mentions that it was a big part of why he ultimately didn't go to Celtic as they weren't going to allow him to bring in a full backroom team.

How many on here would’ve been unhappy with Howe before the takeover?

 

Those unrealistic expectations taking a shine already. PIF investment doesn’t equal immediate success and superstars. Let’s get over the first hurdle of relegation, eh?


Thats the problem though, many aren’t sure whether Howe is the right man to avoid relegation. That’s all I’m looking at right now. Yes it would be nice to have a manager to grow with but immediate concern is avoiding the drop and setting us back again. Is Howe the right man for it? I’m really not sold but time is running out and we need something to spark this season in to action starting with Brighton.

I like that like Fonseca, he's done his research and probably has a decent idea about how he's going to set up.

 

It'd be nice to have him in for the weekend, if only to pick the team.

Still no news on Jones taking the pre match press conference so I assume still a chance Howe will be in

I think many of us, myself included, got swept up in the post-takeover excitement with manager choice. In reality we're not at that level yet and Howe could hopefully be the 1st step to get us there... certainly my preference over a Lampard or Gerrard appointment.

 

We'll be able to give a little knowing nod to some of the managers we couldn't persuade to join us on our way up past them to the top!

'Instead, that title goes to ex-Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe who coached Wilshere for the 2016-17 season.

He said: "The angriest one would probably be Eddie Howe.

"He had a group of players who had been with him through League One and the level of training that he demanded from them in terms of intensity and focus.

"You could just be doing a simple passing drill and if you didn't do it properly he would be on you, shouting and screaming at you. But it worked. He got the best out of them boys."

The argument that he spent more than Liverpool net one season pisses me off btw, because it’s an argument not based on real facts and reality, it’s the same shite spouted by people saying Bruce is better than Rafa or did a better job because he finished with more points one season or in the same league position. It’s lazy, it’s uneducated and it’s baseless in whatever narrative is being driven.

Celtics loss our gain hopefully. Yeah we really need to give him a clean slate and let him bring in who he wants.

He's not going to attract any better quality of player which is what we need.  I just don't get it - a massive gamble imo.  I am not saying he's a bad coach just don't think he's the right man to take us forward and more importantly keep us up. 

 

Not going to be able to attract a better quality of player? Come on man ...

I’m warming very much to Howe now, we may go down, but if backed, supported, and we buy well. I think he will create an attractive football team similar to what Rodgers has done to compete around the top spot within a few years.

If and when it’s confirmed be interesting to see the length of contract 

I imagine 3 years with certain clauses.

It’s being reported that Howe would ask for Richard Hughes to be installed as Technical Director. Don’t really know anything about him but they worked together at Bournemouth. 
 

Howe was not my first choice but if he’s the way we go I would leave to see a Howe x Rangnick link up

Definitely warming up to him as an underdog type. I think he'd exceed a lot of people's expectations. 

Aye, but it will soon turn sour when he can’t attract the likes of Messi…

Exactly what we need right now, a huge uptick in intensity. 

 

The team is so pathetically lax and passive. It's so disgusting. I'd pay good money to watch him light a fire under some of those pansies in training.

A manager dictating who the person above is is a huge red flag to me.

I've seen a lot of love for Fonseca on social media. Him and Howe both carry risk, but why do folk believe Fonseca is better equipped to keep us up?

I assume it’s because he doesn’t have a relegation on his CV and a better record all round
