[Albion] Would you take Eddie?

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Yes. Not my first choice but I wouldn't be unhappy with him. Never got the "smug" thing which has become a bit of a cliche about the man. If anything is public persona, and that's what we're talking about, is rather low key and a little dour. But he has a proven track record of doing well in the premier league, including with a club with small budget, has European experience, and plays fast, attacking football so if he was available he'd have to be considered. More likely though is a coach from mainland Europe.

 

[Lurchy]

Can’t see Eddie going to us after Newcastle.

Think England is possibly his next step or West Ham and I think the likelihood of him featuring high on our list is slim.

Francesco Farioli is the one I think we’ll want. Has worked with RDZ, knows his methods and will want to manage in England.

 

[Surf's Up]

This is a really dumb question - too much bad history with us, far far far too smug and don't get me started on that orange man with the shiny white teeth who spends most of the time hanging out of Smug's arse!!!

 

[Questions]

If we had Eddie we’d have some good defensive displays I’m sure

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

TB would never appoint Eddie Howe, so the question is never going to arise.

I thought Jurgen Klopp was still the Liverpool manager?

Me neither, see also calling Bournemouth 'tinpot' when we're hardly Real Madrid ourselves, and away from NSC The Rocky Horror Picture Show, the biggest pile of shit ever performed, just utter crap from start to finish.

Looks like a younger and slimmer version of RDZ as well. Even down to the black clothes and white trainers.

Yes. There’s similarities to Potter also.

Farioli studied philosophy at Uni as well as Sports Science and did his thesis on football. Then worked in lower leagues before working with Qatar’s youth teams.

Definitely ticks a lot of boxes which we look for,

 

[B-right-on]

Yes. He'd be the ideal replacement!

Hopefully he's homesick for the beautiful south.

Ideal as in smugness?

About the only ideal i see about him.

 

[MTSeagulls]

Yes. He'd be the ideal replacement!

Hopefully he's homesick for the beautiful south.

He'd need a little time to think it over.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Why not? ….. not that I’d want him to!

 

[Farehamseagull]

Still definitely not.

 

[peterward]

A lot of "ifs", but if RDZ leaves us this summer, Eddie Howe is shown the door at Newcastle and not get the England job. Would you take Edward John Frank Howe as our manager?

Id sooner take Eddie Izzard or Eddie the f*cking Eagle than smug.

 

[Weststander]

After the taste of Saudi blood money, he wouldn’t want to work with a budget where a club can’t afford midfielders who can tackle.

 

[Ike and Tina Burner]

I'd definitely take Eddie Howe.

He's only 5'9 so my superior reach would have it finished in 3 rounds or less imo

 

[GT49er]

Wouldn't be my first choice - but then again, it's not my choice that matters anyway, is it?


Could do worse...............

 

[LamieRobertson]

Ensconced at Newcastle with no signs of him leaving so what’s the point in even thinking about it

 

[Dick Swiveller]

In the second ridiculous game in Australia, he put out the kids and lost 8-0 to the A League All Stars. Not sure his owners will like that optic much.

Serious carbon footprint for a joke of a trip, puts out a team of stiffs that no one wants to see, especially as I imagine the Aussie public would struggle to name two players in NUFC’s 1st team, let alone youngsters. NUFC might imagine themselves a big global brand, but no one really gives a shit about them outside of Newcastle.
