Eddie Howe

not sure if picking up cheap players is supposed to impress me as it means he has an eye for a player worth more than their asking price or that he shops in the bargain bin which in theory isnt us any more.... guess it depends if your positive or negative on the whole thing.

Very impressive, especially £3 million for Wilson. People go on about his shit signings (e.g. Solanke), but show me a manager that hasn't made a stinker of a signing (e.g. Djemba-Djemba, Taibi and Kleberson for Sir Alex)

So they change it, what are they then going to fail them on?, since PIF is separate from the state and is a legally functioning investment company. What can they charge to disqualify the owners? Sorry it’s not going to happen that boat has sailed.

Can change it all they want now....anything which can disqualify our owners now will apply equally to Chelsea and Man City.

Well he's a bit underwhelming, but seems to have some good ideas and is still young enough to learn. Who knows....he could do good things

 

Not sure if trying to convince myself 

I don’t see how it’s underwhelming really. We are deep into a relegation battle and are hardly going to expect the most successful managers to leave their teams in Europe for us at the time being. 
 

We can easily point out limitations in other managers based on their track record. I don’t know much about Fonseca but his most successful work coming in Ukraine hardly excites me tbh.

IT's underwhelming because of all the names we have been linked with. 

 

Still a million miles better than Lampard or Rooney though

Always liked Eddie Howe, seems a cool fella but this would be a very risky appointment. He can lift our players' morale but can he mould this limited team into a possession-based attacking outfit? Can't really see it. 

 

I doubt Tindall and the rest of his backroom staff are of very high expertise and Howe's reputation won't attract us any outstanding players in January either. Still, would support him 100% of course.

Without having an intimate knowledge of the type of manager he is, beyond listening to the things he's said, the thing I admire most is how studious he seems to be. I love those tales of him going to observe Rodgers at Swansea, Sarri at Napoli etc. Just screams dedication, reflection, growth, improvement. If he starts well here I think the fans will take to him and it could be a good ride. Do feel really optimistic about this, really excited to hear from him as NUFC boss.

Basically this. Thank fuck we haven't gone with Rooney, he's shown nothing so far. Lampard has a bit more about him but I'd much prefer Howe over either those as well as Gerrard tbh.

 

Excited by the appointment after doing some Dennis Wise scouting on Howe if I'm being honest.

Yeah I was impressed by that video. Just comes across as someone who is a student of the game and respects other managers. Just hope he didnt ask Bruce for any advice or we’re knackered [emoji38]

I hope Howe and Staveley do a joint press conference when he is announced. Would be good to hear some of this vision for the club that impressed the recruitment panel so much.  
 

For me, his most pressing concern is to install some confidence back in the players.  Having that self belief is what will make us greater than the sum of our parts.  
 

I’m also confident he will address the fitness side of things with a more scientific and modern approach, as we desperately need it as we are blowing out our arses within about 15 minutes.
