Personally think we are lucky to have him. 

 

Genuinely beginning to think it might well have been a blessing in disguise that we got him instead.

 

Think Emery is going to have major regrets. I imagine he didn't even have the sense to give Rafa a ring to get more info on the new bunch and the club before his major panic move.

Yes his talk about not being protected enough at Arsenal. Possibly too fragile for us. Eddie could be the new “one” to lead us onwards and upwards! ??????

Not sure whether this is the right thread but here is my suggestion for an Eddie Howe song based on Dirty Old Town:

 

I met Sir Bob, by the Leazes Stand

Asked Bob-by, whose the boss to be

He said my son, there’s only one for me

Eddie O’Howe

Eddie O’Howe

of course he got the name slightly wrong as was his wont.

 

alternatively

 

Eddie Howe, Eddie Howe - Sailing Up the Tyne

Eddie Howe, Eddie Howe - Has he come in time?

Will he keep us up?

Will he take us down?

Eddie Howe, Eddie Howe, Eddie Howe

Put it in the songbook thread.

 

Quite like the bottom one and it’s a good song to sing to. Not sure about the up/down lines though.

Now that I know more about his dedication to football, his work ethics and self-improvement over these few days, I want him to succeed with us. Hope he gets the same reception from our fanbase too.

Just wait till the pundits, Edwards and Holt start comparing his record with Bruce, whilst ignoring how much of a mess he left the club in and how much it will take to put it right 

I’ll reactivate my Twitter account to have a go at Edwards if that happens. It’ll be an honour getting him to block me.

This. I have a sneaking feeling he’s going to be great for us and we’re going to love the bloke once he brings us success. 
 

A first trophy ? for Eddie and us in decades via a cup would be perfect.

Would have preferred Emry but thinking logically, no top manager is going to come here with relegation looming over our shoulder.   

 

Ashley gone, Bruce gone and now we can look forward, probably filled with lots of ups and downs but at least we can start the process. 

 

Let the rebuild begin. I'm all in, lets see where we end up. 

[Shak]

One thing to be quite excited about is the fact that Emery clearly had decided to come here before he changed his mind.

 

For a manager of his pedigree at a CL club to have been so close to willing to jump ship to our current squad and league position does indicate that there's gonna be a lot of investment and funds available for the new manager.

 

Let's hope Howe makes the most of it. Any of the things I've seen or read make it very easy to root for the guy.

He read the RTG threads about him.

Guilt, possibly, who knows, I anecdotally find Spanish people I’ve come across to have a flair for the dramatics.

Would be like Thauvin all over again but worse.

Between the articles (telegraph one was insanely good read) and all the videos, he’s just a class and committed guy. Seems a really cool character too - that video of him cutting it up with Wilson was awesome.

What? I don’t buy that for a second. It doesn’t make sense. 

[STM]

Let's be honest, Emery is very comfortable at Villareal. Not often a manager is genuinely wanted by their fans, like Rafa was with us.

 

He's probably made the right decision to stick by their club and their fans. However I suspect he has peaked, in terms of what he can a achieve there.

 

For his sake, I hope his stock doesn't drop because he decided to stay there a couple of years too long because if that happens, one of the worlds big clubs won't take him on again.

I’m getting a lot of incel vibes surrounding the reporting on Amanda. People seem to be pissed there is a woman at such a high level 

Yea, it’s always “she needs to learn, she’s so naive” and “she needs to stop leaking stories to the press” etc.

Depends - do we want to pay a manager in the championship £11m a year?

 

we’ll probably never know the real reason; he probably just decided it wasn’t worth the risk.

Not saying we could end up with a Eddie howe statue next to sir Bobby...but we're going to end up with a Eddie howe statue next to sir Bobby ??

Can’t see that figure being a hurdle in building up the club whether it be from the Championship or Prem.

 

Anyways, I think you’re right in that Emery is somewhat risk averse and possibly felt guilty leaving the club a 1/3 of the way through the season.

This fucker confirmed yet

them but also like the slew of articles 'CAN'T BELIEVE AMANDA ASKED THIS QUESTION!!! FOOTBALL PEOPLE ARE SHOCKED!'

Like I always say at work; the only stupid question to ask is the one you didn't and something went wrong.

 

The whole setup is new, she's not daft but will be surrounded by football people trying to catch her out to either bring her down or earn some money from it. She has to be the brightest person in the room at all times, not even the self proclaimed feminist of football Karen Brady has her back, she really is up against it. Im sure she's used to it, just see how incredibly bad Barclays treated her and talked about her behind her back.

Put it this way, it kind of has to be confirmed in the next 4 hours, since he's going to be in the stands vs Brighton. 

 

Reckon it's done, just waiting for them to tell us.

Delaney's ' wow they can't get ove the stuff she's asking!!' as if eeryone in football is Ryan Cohen. Such bullshit.

 
I completely ignore that tool and his ridiculous bias. Good point, though.

If it isn't confirmed before he sits in the stands, he might well do a runner after watching us play.
