Eddie Howe

[Jonny Ingbar]

I'd genuinely have Wilder ahead of him. That's before any of this.

I couldn't understand the mags loving other than the fact he's anyone but Steve Bruce.

I've always had doubts whether he could do it anywhere else but Bournemouth.

He's been there as a player coach and manager, left for a disastrous short spell at Burnley, only to return and have a bit of success.

And I've not seen anything yet that puts those suspicions to bed.

100% I would have taken Wilder over Howe

I do get the EH hate, and I'm enjoying the newcastle debacle as much as anyone. But I do believe he's a talented manager.... its very early days in an unusually bizarre role. That said... am not sure he'll get much time there.

Never a good sign when the board are getting involved in the dressing room. He's a dead man walking already.

 

[Cogeur_le_Conq]

I bet he's bricking it in case he gets an invite to any embassies

 

[Lemmy_kilmister]

He wont be there as long as he took to drive up to Newcastle.
Gone in the summer.

They'll be recruiting for Eddie Howe look-alikes as we speak

 

[Wiseman_Vaughn]

Remember when he was being touted as a future England manager? More like Saudi Arabia!!!! Oh, hang on

 

[DrummerMan]

We really need them to improve, don't fancy NUFC in the championship next season.... just incase we don't go up via the playoffs

Eddie Howe: “I thought we played OK. And that may get me a few funny looks, but we created a number of opportunities, the attitude, feeling and body language was good. The longer we went without a goal affected us.”

The great deluded are posting fairly negative responses to this

He wasn't disastrous at Burnley to be fair, just average

He got the sack didn't he?

 

[dooderooni]

One set of owners who you are torn over having a 'hands on, hands off' approach.

 

[wilkos_perm]

No he just left unexpectedly as he wanted to go back home (family reasons I think)

 

[jonny_greenings_sock]

One win in five months.

It was always going to be difficult for whoever they got as first gaffer after the takeover. Howe will struggle to attract the players he'll need to transform them. He might manage to avoid relegation, a thing which I'm personally doubtful he will do, but he won't be the one who'll be managing them if they actually get good. Maybe two or three managers away from Champions League.

If I was manager I would resign and handover the relegation to someone else. Not out of professional pride but simply survival instincts. I know this has been done before but f**k getting beheaded, castrated, crucified! dismembered, tortured, nipple tweeted or playing in front of a load of divs that know f#@k all about football.

Which supports the point I was making then.

He looked like a man under extreme pressure after the game tonight, I don't think this one has a happy ending.

Even if he somehow manages to avoid the drop they’ll get rid of him asap after the final game and have his replacement ready to go….if they are learning well….on the job…because at present these new owners look like rabbits in the headlights with a pot load of money and little idea what to do….

I mean, they got rid of Steve Bruce without fully lining up his successor and then had to settle for howe who is arguably not as good as Bruce which is hilarious and shows the ineptitude of the new owners
They panicked and appointed Howe

The only manager I think who could’ve rescued them from this was Benitez
