Eddie Howe

[Holloway]

Get In, what a project for him. Hopefully he can grow with it 

[Andy]

Let's all get right behind this bloke, regardless of where he was in your pecking order. Massive, high pressure challenge ahead of him that others have shied away from. 

 

Fully believe he'll have enough about him to keep us up. 

[Klaus]

Not my first choice but fuck it, glad we have someone in.

 

The new era starts now!  let's get behind him

[54]

A real life sports scientist. Boys, we're in the 21st century

He'll probably want the bins hosing out.

Just imagine when they rock up to the training ground and see the ice bins ?

Crossing the Rubicon here. First time our manager will be younger than me.

 

A year older than moi! Fuck, I've been on this message board far too long. 

[hakka]

Isn't my first choice at all, but he's young and English, and apartment from relegation season did some incredible things with Bournemouth over many years at a very young age.

 

I'm happy to see how he does and I hope everyone gives him full support. He's going to need it with where we are at.

[Yorkie]

A real manager, get in.

Any the chippy van coming round every Friday. 

[wormy]

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.

So all the talk of a poorly handled manager search, and yet our owners have been going over Howe's plans for the club over the last couple of days.

 

Poor handled = Doing due diligence, well i for one like this way of doing things, whether Howe is a success or not.

Oooooh data driven thinking! Who'd imagine we'd rocket into the 21rst century over night. 

[Wandy]

Welcome, Eddie. Please, please...just keep us up. Do that and you will reserve your own special place in NUFC history. Similar to David Kellly for scoring THAT goal against Portsmouth in 1992.

Bit of a step up, I’d say.

 

 

[Mike]

Cautiously optimistic about this appointment.

[Stifler]

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. 

[Ben]

I hope he does a proper press conference with Amanda and Co 

[GWN]

Our shit players will be sick as fuck , now they have to work  for a living 

[MagMal]

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

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. Suppose you can’t please all, you can even please both sides of me 

[SUPERTOON]

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 

[Vinny Green Balls]

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.

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.
