I don't think Howe's a bad appointment.. Bournemouth played very good football and punched well above their weight for a good 4 seasons.

He's demonstrated he can coach in a modern style of play.

There's chancers that just got the right job and rode a wave from big club to big club.

Let's get behind him and give him some better players.

Getting a small club from the 4th tier to the Premier league in 6 years, and then getting them firmly established there, is an incredible achievement tbh.

He might not be a flash foreign name, but anyone laughing at him or putting him down needs to have a good look at his managerial record.
 
If nowt else it will get him out of the way once and for all. If it works out great he'll stay....if not he'll get the bullet soon enough and never again will his name enter the frame for the managerial vacancy at SJP.

Way way down on my list of choices but he'll get my backing 100%. A step up from Bruce but not (in my eyes) the right appointment for the project at hand. Lets face it, the football cannot get any worse than what we've seen under Bruce/Jones. My biggest concern is the level of player Eddie Howe will be able to attract to the club, but maybe that says more about how we are looking at approaching this project, so rather than marquee manager followed by marquee signing after signing we bring someone in who can stabilise things, bring in a good players (better than some of the ****e we have) and build the squad to be regularly top 10 for the next 2-3 seasons and we kick on from there.

Which is pretty much what Man City did in the early stages.

He'll have to do.. They almost caught a bigger fish, but unfortunately they overestimated his want for the job and let it slip too soon.

Howe will build the foundations and he speaks well which is a big step in the right direction.

Listened to Bruce's 10 sentences on shuffle for 2 years so I can get behind howe.

Howe-ay man get him in, get us through to the end of the season, if he keeps us up he'll have been a success, fail to keep us up and he could be the right type of manager to take the team next year anyway.

Like I say I fully can't see us staying up this year unless we get some shock results over the next 9 games to give us a chance so can't see many big name managers wanting to come in and give it a go in the hope they can get a tune out of Shelvey, Clark, Ritchie, Fraser etc for the next few games.

Easy to get a tune out of those players. Don't play them
 
It seems the majority of nufc fans are going to give the guy a chance.

There's a few that will moan like whores and that will never change because everyone has a view in football.

Let's hope it works out.

@Welshie has been after Howe fur a good few years, so if it doesn't work out I'll just blame him

Tbh there's no need to be negative about him, he doesn't have a history of relegation and sackings like McClaren, Pardew, Bruce, et al. All he's done is have huge success.
 
I wouldn't have a problem with Howe. He tries to play attacking football. I think I would be less frustrated on a Saturday night if we at least tried to retain possession, then maybe had a few shots on goal, than I am at the moment.

He is probably a bit more of risk in terms of keeping us up this year, but if we can get the right players in, I think they would enjoy playing for him. He would be just the starting point in the path to global domination. Think there are more advantages to getting someone in now, letting them figure out where we need to strengthen (shouldn't actually take that long), decide who they want, and then get the rest of them playing in a way that will gel with the incoming players.
Totally agree. This is only the start.
 
Honestly, just pick some kuhnt and we move on!

If it's Howe then so be it!

We are running out of time.

Whoever it is we'll get behind him.

We all expect a relegation battle. The past is the past. Keep looking ahead and support whichever mad bastard accepts this insane job!

Ronald Koeman anyone? Would he be up for it?

Very poor record as a manager. If you take Feyenoord and Southampton off his record, its just a list of failures. However I have a mate who is mad keen. His reasoning? He supposedly has a ridiculously good record wherever he has been over the first 8 games. Obviously that could be massive for us. I think the big problem with him is like Bruce, he has no defined style. As a fire fighter though I can see a little sense for all he wouldn't be my choice.
 
Training was put back to this afternoon

So they can have pre-relegation picnic and every single person in Saudi Arabia can be asked about their opinion on the manager. Should take circa 5 months.

Hire someone ffs
