You know, this fella fills me with confidence…. we all know steering Bournemouth to the Premier League was an achievement and keeping them there even more so. I see media reports snarking about Eddie not being first choice, having his work cut out, defensively suspect… and rival fans having a dig. I don’t fear relegation primarily because of our owners and their ability to buy their way back up… and I certainly wouldn’t easily blame the new gaffer in view of where we are when he’s taken over and what he’s inherited to work with. He gets 2-3 seasons from me.
And I may be fantasising, but where’s the harm, the ‘greats’ have to come from somewhere; Sir Bobby was aged between 45-50 steering Ipswich to FA cup and UEFA cup wins…. Eddie’s younger - there’s absolutely no universal rule that says he couldn’t become something absolutely legendary at the Toon…. and I’d be so happy for him and for all of us if that happened.
these training videos, his press conference, the approach to fans, the aura that’s being given off is ****ING AWESOME and fits my post-takeover mood.
I can’t wait…
