Had to sit "watching" the telly with my eyes closed. That’ll be all the trumpet polishing you were doing to Eddie Howe, yesterday. You’ll go blind. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 20699 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 So according to Fish Quote Howe isn't the driving force behind the rejuvenated Newcastle and then Quote Howe has dramatically improved the performances of the team and improved brought on players like Shelvey, Willock, .. fuck it I'm not listing them all as it's hard to think of a player who hasn't improved under Eddie's shepherding 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toonotl 3103 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 I'm excited about Howe. I think if we can have stability in the years ahead that puts us several steps down the road toward getting to the top. So far we've had an uptick in performance (both results and style of play). There is a clear plan on and off the pitch that there hasn't been evidence of in a long long time. He's built up a solid rapport with the existing players and brought in players with the proper approach and attitude. The players seem to like him. I don't think I've seen a player who he's coached speak badly of him. If there was any doubt then Trippier signing is evidence that Howe is respected by the people that matter: players. That's huge. For me, Howe is capable of being that long-term appointment we need for that reason, but also because he appears to be intelligent, hard-working and (most importantly) honest. Exciting times for us all. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougle 3383 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 (edited) I was admittedly underwhelmed by the appointment of Howe but, on reflection, reeled my over expectant heed in. What the fuck did we expect? We all wanted a big name, instant hard ons for that insipid cunt Emery (me included btw), some mention Ragnerock (aye great job at the Manc twats so far) and a few others. We were all giddy with the utter unexpected/unbelievableness of our new situation and all that. Let’s reflect on Kenny Dalglish, big name, guaranteed success….. Aye right. Eddie Howe has been fucking tremendous since he came in, his professionalism, work ethic, apparent ambition, media savvy, honesty, drive…. I could go on. And that’s not even me licking his hoop…. Just my honest appraisal. Christ the bloke is only 44 and has been a manager for 13 or 14 years. Some say he was a tad slow in changing the results around. Fucking hell he was sweeping up the remains of 2+ years of Steven Bacon Bruce. Gan on Eddie bonny lad, hope it all falls right for you.

Howay 12496 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Aye, agreed. I was similarly underwhelmed by his appointment but he’s doing a good job so far, and is a really likeable bloke. He’s also clearly knows what a big chance this is for him, as well as us, so he’s working his bollocks off and putting everything into the role. He of course has a long way to go to reach the level of manager for where our owners want the club to be, but the same can be said for the entire club, he’s young and I think he has shown he’s improving (we’re showing more defensive solidarity than his Bournemouth sides). Traditionally recruitment has been the thing leveled at him as a negative, and now seemingly that’s been taken out of his hands to a degree meaning he can focus on coaching. I’d personally love to have a manager grow with the club as we go on to win things, hopefully it’s him. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are certain parallels with KK’s time that I can see being replayed- the club coming out of a seriously shite period of underinvestment and disengagement with the fans, New owners with a vision, ambition, and a chequebook to make you weep tears of joy. A lack of expectation, for want of a better word, from the media as a whole ( he’s pretty much seen as a stop-gap manager until we’re in a position to challenge the usual suspects). What I’m saying is that I think we’ve got someone in him who’s not yet the finished product, but definitely has the potential to be excellent, much like the club, and if it goes well I’d like to see him given the chance to grow with us, instead of getting some “name” gaffer in a few years. If he gets it right, and he’s got the financial clout so it’s purely down to him making the right choices, and he wins us our first silverware in almost a lifetime, he’s got himself Legendary status… and I honestly think he’s the bloke to do it. There. I really think you need to re-read what Fist said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegan took the club from calamity to the very peak of the Premier League, attracting some wonderful players, playing unbelievable football, changing the whole feeling of the club. Howe has done well, but there's just no way he's be as transformative a figure as Keegan was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he cannot. It is not feasible. Howe would have to taken the job when we were in danger of dropping into the third tier, then revolutionise the playing staff, singlehandedly wrangling agents, players and the owner, he'd have to have reached higher than the owners thought possible. So stop this, it's ridiculous, and the way you know it's ridiculous is the person who said it in the first place isn't backing you up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
