That's what I thought but the more I read of him he seems to legitimately be the long term solution. He's football mad, he'll have learned a lot with his time at Bournemouth. Forward thinking and will keep up with contemporary ideas in the game.

 

 

 

If we progress year on year then I’m happy for him to stay as long as it continues to work.

 

Who is to say he won’t grow as we do and essentially become the next top manager?

It’s mental really but I Was massively underwhelmed by Howe at first but the more I have read and heard about him over the last few days the more I have liked him , now I love the fucker and genuinely think he is going to do something special here . He is the perfect fit and I am genuinely glad Unai turned us down.

Yeah, I can see that and I was similar but he is not like other English managers.  He isn't a PFM nor just a safe pair of hands to keep us up.  

 

He is a very focussed, progressive manager who has used the time since he left Bournemouth watching football, even going to spend time with Diego Simeone.

 

In at 6AM everyday, leaves late in the day.

 

One thing though is, it may not be instant so if we don't get a result against Brentford don't wet the bed.  It may take a few games to get the players conditioned as a minimum but he has come in early so has a lot of time.

 

I agree with a few others, I can see him here in 5-10 years.  I was against it until I started researching him properly.

Not a 'big name' but the more i read about him and watch videos of his tactics etc, the more it seems like it could be a great fit, he also seems obsessed with managing a bit like Rafa, he will be getting 100% backing from me.

 

The revolution starts now.

 

Howe-ay the fucking Lads!

The media are going to struggle here. 

 

Young English manager who they have bigged up in the past. 

 

A NUFC fan base that is fully behind a Southern manager 

 

Saudi Arabia and us being evil incarnate 


I think they'll be fine. They seem perfectly okay with other clubs dispensing with managers after 9 or 10 games of not so great results recently, Everton fans saying that 'know where you live' to Rafa, and continually pushing for OGS to be sacked due to results not matching the 'stature of a club like Man Utd', but no, it's still NUFC that hounded out Bruce after 2+ years of garbage.  The media don't seem to mind cognitive dissonance at all.

Wouldn't even worry if he did start Hendrick as alluded to. He wouldn't use him like Dyche or Bruce. Look at what he did for Surman and Gosling, who were nowhere near PL CM's before he managed them. 

 

Yup. Looking back at the midfielders he had at his disposal at Bournemouth is very encouraging indeed. I'm sure he could get a lot more out of our bunch for sure.

Still not 100% convinced by his appointment but I'm optimistic having seen more about his tactics and methodology, especially good seeing his drive to further his own development after he left Bournemouth.

 

Just quite good to have a manager who might take the job seriously.

Eddie Howe or Rafa Benitez?

 

From The Athletic:

 

At Bournemouth, Howe was a manager in every sense of the word, eager to know what was happening in every department. As a coach, he was holistic, known for leaving no stone unturned. He was a renowned workaholic and was always first in and last to leave both the training ground and the training field too, just in case any player wanted to work on an aspect of their game individually.

 

He would arrive at 6:30am, pore over clips from matches and previous training sessions, as well as analytics, to provide feedback to his players. He personally edited and compiled video packages for individual players. He would make new notes, to develop the next round of team sessions as well as one-to-one engagements. These would be catalogued in colour-coded diaries, preserving his bibliography of different training sessions. He once said he would be “heartbroken” to lose those notebooks.

Compare this to Bruce’s heart break at loosing his vast collection of take away menus!

Don’t mind that - as a reserves lineup. At most one or two who will be in the first team come Christmas.

 

It seems like you’ve done what I do in FM pre-season games - remove the best XI and play the next XI

I'm just pleased to have a manager who doesn't make me want to cry/vomit/rage to be honest. Hope it works out for us and him.

 

Pretty much.

 

Obviously I would've loved Conte or Emery, but he isn't a shit manager - the worst case scenario I see with him is he get's given the war chest and guides us to a 7th place battle within 2 seasons before getting turfed as at that point the elite managers will have a good base to build on rather than being thrown into a relegation battle with Matt Ritchie as their left back.
