Doesn't mean there's much chance of it happening. I mean the bloke's been out of work for 14 months after being sacked following a relegation. I find him playing hard to get a bit daft.

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) Thread title should be better. “Eddie Howe” would do Edited November 8, 2021 by Christmas Tree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy 2124 Posted November 8, 2021 Author Share Posted November 8, 2021 Howe has all the potential in the world in terms of an up and coming coach, but it will be a case of wait and see in terms of how much he absorbed from the likes of Simone, the Rayo Manager, Klopp, and Klopp's technical director Edwards. Reportedly he went on a bit of a footballing pilgrimage during his time out of management and met with the aforementioned to pick their brains. To have that sort of drive for self improvement is a very good quality. Not to take it back to Bruce all the time now he's gone, but can imagine him even contemplating trying to improve his coaching skills. We of course know from various comments from people that he hasn't moved with the times at all for about 20 years or more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34444 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Really good article has gone up on the Athletic since the appointment was confirmed. He sounds like a proper, hard grafting, and talented coach. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 16635 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Love how the cunt on SSN quick to point out Howe's win %. Wasn't keen to do the same with Bruce though were they? Wankers. Chuffed tbh with this. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper 940 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) Hard work starts now I hope the players are up for it.

Keep Jonjo Shelvey in your thoughts at this time As I think I've said already, his calm demeanor in interviews is apparently very different to what he's like in private when he isn't happy. Apparently he tore strips off Jack Wilshire when he was at Bournemouth for constantly giving the ball away in a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 16635 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I think a few players will have their noses pushed out because of his work ethic. Good, they can fuck right off if they don't want to graft for the badge. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Doh'liver 219 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Well he took his time, but glad it's done. I think it's a great fit, but he walks into a tricky situation. If he can negotiate the relegation battle I'm sure he will go onwards and upwards. I don't think he'll change his approach, he likes to play aggressive football. People talk about his potential defensive weaknesses, but the attacking drive can deliver wins as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 It's weird how Adam Johnson wasn't lambasted for taking Sheikh Mansours money.

The Keegan criticism was always “but they’ve got a shit defence”. We didn’t, and even if we did have… did we give a fuck? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
