I think everyone hopes he can and he certainly talks a good game but it's got to translate into results at some point. He was appointed to fix the problems, he either does or he doesn't. He's under no illusions and neither are the fans, another few shit results and he'll be struggling to hang on imo, which would be a real shame as I think he's a nice bloke with many qualities. I don't want him out and I want him to turn it around but something's got to happen soon. Narrator - it did Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a sound poster, and appeared to lose the plot a little on this topic, like we all do on occasion. A few still haven't admitted how fucking awful their takes were. I can't remember the poster but after 2 or 3 weeks he wanted Howe gone. I told him to "give your head a shake" and he went into a right strop. Informing me that we had dropped a huge bollock in appointing Eddie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the takes on here were just awful. But fuck it, we've been on a great run for awhile. All is forgiven, as long as they don't do the same whit when we hit a bad patch.

christ Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 There was some absolute bollocks being floated about Howe in December and January. I remember a lot of people acting like utter minges when Bruno wasn’t starting every game. That thread was a fucking nightmare. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah I know Pilko's sound as owt like, it's not a personal slight. It's just his posts that stick in my mind, particularly the 'P.E teacher with a LinkedIn account' one, or whatever it was. Tbf Howe didn't give much room for criticism imo, the improvement was immediate with results not that far behind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really hit the jackpot with him I'd been earlies at work. Came home, had a bite to eat, cup of tea, put that on and after about 45 mins drifted off onto the most blissfully conteted sleep I've had in years.

LionOfGosforth Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I notice we haven't heard from "Yelevats" lately, another big bonus of Eddie's success. Some of his posts back then, what a WUM twat. At least the majority who were being needlessly negative, their posts came from a position of being passionate fans who want the club to succeed.

I was delighted when we got him due to his experience in dragging Bournemouth up through the divisions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Apparently I said that the "process" mustn't have been working if it took us three weeks to get to Howe, which is obviously a load of bollocks, but also not that bad of a take consihow fucking desperate we were last year. Couldn't be happier with Eddie now like, so proud of him being our manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
