Right man at the right time. 
 

Much like Keegan, much like SBR. If he can get a good run in one of the cups and can win one in the next 2 years. He’ll be here for as long as he wants imo.

 

My worry is if PCP ever get itchy feet with him if things don’t keep improving year on year. Hopefully Ashworth and Eales around the club now takes that decision making process slightly away from them.

I will freely admit i was disappointed when he was appointed, as i was hoping for a big successful name, but it's impossible to argue with his results so far which on form put him top by a fair margin. 

 

Whoever identified him as a perfect manager for us needs a medal

Wanted him from the very start. My man(ager). :smugdog:

Ditto :)

 

I wonder what the percentage split was for those disappointed he was appointed?

 

I also imagine Howe has a 100% approval rating amongst fans. When was the last time we had that? SBR circa 2003?

Positive visualisation is scientifically proven to have an actual effect. It’s why top sportsmen often use it so much. The Secret itself is a bit twee but the science is there. 
 

Read enough about Quantum Physics too and you’ll be questioning your own reality and the way you understand the universe. 

 

 

 

Totally agree about positive visualisation but the secret is borderline evangelical Christian faith healer levels of bonkers.

I admit I was actually disappointed. After it looking so likely that Emery was going to be the man, I was blinded by the pedigree. Emery also had Villareal playing some fantastic football at that time and had them in the champions league. 

 

In my defense I think even the people excited about Howe didn't expect at the time how amazing he has actually been.

I think you answered that yourself - PCP through Stavely & Co have brought in some of the best people in the business to ensure the club gets run correctly, as a business, with clear goals and a vision. Ashworth especially will probably have the biggest say in Howe's position, and they wouldn't have hired him to then not listen to him when it counts.

 

It's mad, we've gone from a literal laughing stock of an organisation, asset-stripped and skeleton-crewed, to having some of the best people around. Seeing all the blocks fall into place one by one is so satisfying, I get as much satisfaction (sad as it is) from getting people like Eales and Ashworth as getting Isak and Botman. It's with them that the future of this club rests.

Great podcast. He comes across as both driven and humble.

 

Found the stuff how he had to take a year out of the game fascinating. Not many would have the bravery to reject job opportunities knowing he needed at least a year away as we all know it's easy for managers to be looked at negatively for having long stretches out of the game

Also on Sunday found it refreshing how he saw the game how we saw it in that we didn't play well but got the victory.

 

It's a simple thing but many of our previous managers would have just commented on the scoreline and said we played well. Clearly sees the game like we do despite being on the pressure cooker of the touchline

Also the stuff about his mother dying while he was at Burnley.

 

He didn't do well at Burnley but for someone as driven and intense in his methods as he is that must have been such a tough time for him and could have been a big factor in him struggling there

Off the top of my head that's basically the 50 or so minutes Vs Wolves and 20 minutes or so Vs Man City. Otherwise a few minutes against Bournemouth and seconds when we lost to Liverpool.

 

There's definitely a feeling about the way we play that we work very hard not to concede the first goal in the game. And once we get the breakthrough ourselves we tend to pull away.

Found it interesting that he planned on leaving Bournemouth even if they stayed up. I guess he must have known for a little while that he needed that time away and what a benefit it’s been to him and us.
