He's as near to a company man/politician as you'll get in a football manager. Not sure on that last bit, he's very honest fella, I don't think he bullshits, I belive he's as honest as he can be within the limitations of how a journalist will paraphrase anything. You'll see from time to time in his presser, he'll lean to his left on occasions, and ask how he should comment on certain questions, if he was such a politician/company guy, I don't believe he'd need to even check with the person on his left, it's because most of the time he's answering honestly to the best of his abilities, he's often caught out with that cheeky grin, and laughs and jokes a fair bit. This is a guy who's seen it all at Bournemouth, thrown into the role, while chaos was going on around him,somehow while nobody was getting paid, he held a group together, and miraculously drove them from extinction, to the promised land, Minus 17 is a good watch, you've probably watched it, also High Performance podcast with Eddie Howe is good. The man is definitely not a politician. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man is definitely not a politician. He’s not a bullshit merchant in terms of being a bluffer, but I wouldn’t rely on an Eddie Howe press conference to hear a load of truths. His skills at deflecting and not answering what he doesn’t want to answer are commensurate with the average politician. I watched the High Performance podcast with him on (only ever seen that one and the Trippier - sounds like a right load of wanky self-help shite fronted by that tiresome arse off of BT), and that didn’t change my opinion. Howe will speak about things that either will improve or at least not potentially weaken his position, but he’ll give nothing ‘real’ away. This isn’t a criticism of Howe, mind. I really like those qualities in him - had enough of football blusterers and chancers. Howe’s pressers are worth watching - but he gives nowt away.

It's just being professional and not doing anything to cause reputational damage. Howe understands that... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
