Eddie Howe gets the usual great PR from the sock puppets in the football media that English managers always get but he's about as mediocre as the rest of them. He can't drill a defence, went months on end at least twice without a win etc....am fairly certain we're only being linked with him because he hasn't got a job anyway... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13861 Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 I agree but his teams tend to have some form of attacking fluency, at least. No chance I’d put him in charge of spending money though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30569 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 It was a badly executed joke about playing him at CB and now he’s favourite for the job ffs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1244 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I've been trying to think of a time when we had a midfield worse than we have now.

essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I remember Megson playing at SJP for Sheff Wed once.I cannot remember whether Big Jack or Sgt Wiko was manager but they were renowned for playing the long ball.Everytime he received the ball he flicked it up and wellied it as high and as far as he could towards our box.Sounds like it must have been Big Jack as manager.
