Eddie Howe

Makes me want him to succeed here even more. Genuinely likeable, intelligent bloke, and more than an intellectual match for Mr Personality Glasses.

Fair to Jordan for calling out PSR for what it is.

 

there's times with jordan where you would literally never get sick of punching the cunt, quite often actually.

however on psr he's spot on and sadly pretty much a lone voice among prominent media types to state it. martin samuels has done a couple of decent articles too?

hat doffed though, he conducts that interview very, very well.

Aye I thought the same.

Jordan honestly comes across as someone trying to be smarter than he actually is. You can tell he doesn't have the legs as a journalist to be anywhere near as penetrating as he seems to want to be.

 

That said, it is a good interview.

It was only a good interview because Howe allowed himself to be asked difficult questions. There's not a cat in hells chance Klopp, Arteta et al would open themselves up to that level of scrutiny

Jordan is a pompous bore

For me, I thought Jordan was a narcissistic blow hard before this interview. And even more so after it. He looks to lure people in then wind them up and work amongst the reckage to salvage sound bites and clickbait nonsense. He seems a very negative, very self-obsessed and very shallow person.

 

The number of questions that were variations on, "Eddie, how are you perceived by others?", told me more about Jordan's continued obsession with other people's perceptions, like any narcissistic person, and nothing about Eddie because Eddie gave his typical flatbat and honest answer to each question.

 

Jordan is harmless really. He's just a two dimensional clown pretending to be a serious person.

 

All that said, the rarity of longer form interviews with Howe made it a good watch. Plus, there was some really interesting stuff.

 

I do think Jordan is a useful voice for us against PSR. He's maybe the most influential public voice against it. And his position (mostly) outside of vested interest adds credibility to his criticisms. I assume that would've been amongst the club's reason for getting Howe to speak to him.

 

Apart from that, Jordan remains a bellend.

He's a pompous, pretentious cunt. (Jordan, not toonotl).

I've been called worse. And described less accurately.

yes that’s the dichotomy of trying to manoeuvre in the quote unquote transfer market against the backdrop of the current zeitgeist and the powers that be that’s clearly not fit for purpose in the current ecosystem etc etc….
