Eddie Howe

[The Gooner]

It seems that the bold Eddie is this seasons Brendan Rodgers with the bookies making him favourite for the scum job.

The guy got homesick working in Burnley and wanted to return south so I can’t see him coming to Scotland.

 

[The Golden God]

You put a pound on any manager with the bookies and they become the favourite. It means nothing imo.

 

[MrBearightside]

I reckon they will get Alex Neil in before the next Old Firm

 

[Le Capitan]

He'll love it up here - get him booked into the Bellgrove Hotel for a couple of the nights just to experience the authentic East End.

 

[Henry Hill]

Very good coach, but aren’t all of his back room staff now in charge at Bournemouth so he wouldn’t have them

Pretty awful in the transfer market too

 

[50 grand 50 grand]

He looks like he’s going to burst into tears at any moment, even when his teams are winning. Him and his body warmer would be back down the road in a heart beat if he read a paper or listened to a phone in after a defeat, he looks like he still kisses his n maw and da on the lips.

 

[Barrymoped]

Performed miracles with Bournemouth, but had low expectations there. It’s an entirely different matter at the beggars where any dropped points have the green brigade calling for the managers head.

 

[giogaddi]

Bring him on. Guy would absolutely fold under the pressure up here.

 

[Brydo]

Very good coach, but aren’t all of his back room staff now in charge at Bournemouth so he wouldn’t have them

Pretty awful in the transfer market too

Don’t think they get to choose their own back room staff there.

The bravest man in Scottish Football and Strachan’s son it is.

 

[Blue Goose]

They won't be able to buy their way out of that mess. They have no money and Edouards inflated transfer fee is shrinking every week. Lenny will stay. He will win on Sunday, get beat on Thursday and win his home league games. He will win against Hertz and all will be well again with Timmy.

 

[SuperAlly1990]

I was listening to a podcast, I think it was Open Goal, and they were speaking about Howe. Apparently Defoe isn't a big fan of his, didn't speak very highly of him.

 

[MearnsUnionist]

It seems that the bold Eddie is this seasons Brendan Rodgers with the bookies making him favourite for the scum job.

The guy got homesick working in Burnley and wanted to return south so I can’t see him coming to Scotland.

He wouldn't know what had hit him at the piggery.

No previous knowledge of Scottish football and joining halfway through a season of this magnitude?

If they appoint him, just hand us the title now.

 

[Coza]

Would be very happy if they appointed him. He strikes me as the kind likely to fold like a cheap suit under any kind of pressure in the gold fish bowl of Glasgow.

I could be way off with that but it’s my gut feeling.

90% of the games in this crap league are won with attitude and desire. Get your players mentality right at either old firm and you should win plenty. It’s one of the reasons I felt Gerrard would be a success and laughed at tims who thought he would be gone before Xmas. Inexperienced yes but a born winner and will get the players working hard which is half the battle.

 

[Orange Peel]

I reckon they will get Alex Neil in before the next Old Firm

Can't see them going for someone in a job.

 

[Hurleyreyes]

Great job at a club where a draw is a good result and the odd win fantastic.

Takes a certain mentality and mindset to get used to a draw being a "Diiiizzzaaaaasta"

I don't think he has that.

 

[El Bufalo]

Strikes me as a bit of a wet wipe.

 

[Madjid Moments]

I’d be happy with Howe. Defoe would give away all his techniques, tactics and philosophies.

 

[The Lone Sniper]

Decent coach but doesn't have the balls to handle the toxicity at parkhead.

 

[imager]

Paid the best part of £30 million for a striker that can’t score goals!

 

[WinkieWATP]

The most over rated thing in football imo.

 

[Professor Yaffle]

Gonnae no dae that. Howe

 

[Johnny Yen]

He was the red hot favourite to be England manager not so long ago.

Depending on who you believe, the rumour mill would have you believe him and Lawwell have already played Golf together recently.

 

[Mr_Miscellaneous]

Weak.

Would get eaten alive up here.

 

[Sandbear]

He gets a nose bleed North of Watford gap doubt if he will pitch up in Glasgow. There will be jobs in the South East coming up during or even after this season , he will not be short of offers or need the money.

 

[BlueFlagHigh]

They won't be able to buy their way out of that mess. They have no money and Edouards inflated transfer fee is shrinking every week. Lenny will stay. He will win on Sunday, get beat on Thursday and win his home league games. He will win against Hertz and all will be well again with Timmy.

This is exactly what will happen

And the great thing is, none of it matters as long as we keep on winning .

 

[Main Stand]

The most over rated thing in football imo.

A bit like Martinez in the sense “look at this beautiful football we’re playing” as they get horsed 5-0 off nobodies.

Bournemouth were a breath of fresh air as first but his Warburton like stubbornness is why he inevitably got relegated.

Any kind of pressure & his bottle would crash.

 

[wilso10]

I'd be relaxed if they brought Howe in, a guy who has spent most of his career fighting relegation at a club with absolutely zero pressure and expectation.

Added to that I'm sure it was Defoe who said his management style is downright bizarre.

 

[dt17]

Seen a couple of tims arguing about him on Twitter and one said he has a toddlers haircut. Pissing myself at that.

 

[Empire]

He is soft as shite. Wouldn’t last two minutes. To give Lennon his credit, he’s got a bit of fight about him needed to manage one of the Glasgow clubs. Thankfully it’s them he’s at

 

[Business_Bear]

He's got the heart of a mouse that guy!

 

[IrvineLoyal]

I reckon they will get Alex Neil in before the next Old Firm

Hes good mates with gary holt

 

[Clubdeckg]

Coming in mid season with the pressure of '9.75' would break him.

 

[Polar bear]

You put a pound on any manager with the bookies and they become the favourite. It means nothing imo.

And that’s the way it works.

 

[dougiem]

WHO ?
No cant will want this poison job.

 

[Main Stand]

Paid the best part of £30 million for a striker that can’t score goals!

Who, Solanke?. It was £19m in an utterly bizarre transfer, this forum was creaming over him too weirdly.

That said he’s started this season very well, in the Championship.

He also spent a ludicrous amount of money on Jordan Ibe!. The money Liverpool make on over-hyped academy players is mental.

 

[Moz]

The same Eddie Howe that gets booted out cups at the first opportunity?

 

[BrooklynBlue]

He wouldn’t be cheap and would obviously require budget assurances.

I’d be more concerned if it’s Alex Neil - he’ll give them a solidity at the back.

Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s Jack Ross...

 

[Forth Bear]

This is the same guy who couldn't survive moving from Dorset to Lancashire.

He wouldn't last five minutes up here with the pressure he would be under.

 

[garytcrsc]

They won't be able to buy their way out of that mess. They have no money and Edouards inflated transfer fee is shrinking every week. Lenny will stay. He will win on Sunday, get beat on Thursday and win his home league games. He will win against Hertz and all will be well again with Timmy.

This. Lennon will only get fired if and when, the gap between us and them is beyond reach. Then they will have Kennedy take over until the end of the season.

Only a defeat to Ross County or Hearts in the cups may change that.

 

[Blue Phoenix]

Strikes me as a bit of a wet wipe.

Arse wipe I was thinking.

 

[Moz]

I hope it isn't him as I actually like Eddie Howe.

But one benefit if it is him that his record in the transfer market is absolutely dreadful.

 

[Leo_Ger]

He'd be an improvement tactically than Lennon.

However, he wouldn't have much time on the training ground to work with the team and there's question marks about how he'd handle the pressure cooker here.

 

[Souness86]

He's an absolute side salad.

No way would he last up here

 

[Renoranger]

Homesick is on a par with jet lag - they don't exist.

 

[dh1963]

I suspect they would like Steve Clarke but can't see him leaving the Scottish job before they get gubbed in the Euros.

 

[SuperGers07]

A wet wipe

They’ll stick with Lennon through December. Their fixtures on paper are easier than ours. They’ll hope we slip up to give him time.

Their fans think Kennedy is being primed to take over

 

[JamboReid1874]

Don’t think they get to choose their own back room staff there.

The bravest man in Scottish Football and Strachan’s son it is.

The mentally challengeds are fed up of Brave John and deem him to be coasting along in the dugout on the path to the managers seat. I would absolutely wet myself if he was appointed with Broony as player-assistant.

 

[Ally’s Golden Boot]

I don’t buy into the hype. Completely overrated IMO. He also gets nose bleeds when he travels outside the Watford gap...

 

[Coza]

I suspect they would like Steve Clarke but can't see him leaving the Scottish job before they get gubbed in the Euros.

That would be an even better appointment for us. A siege defensive counter attacking expert for a team who have 60-70% possession every game bet the odd old firm and euro tie.

That absolutely would fit the time basket case approach to their affairs of late. Hopefully the SFA are happy he does both!!

 

[devilman]

I don't know what makes this guy supposedly so good in the first place that we should be worried if he was favourite for the job? Am I missing something?

If he wants to come and manage a bunch of terrorist loving paedo covering up scumbags then let him.
