You are aware that the topic was Eddie Howe.

You shouldn’t be even thinking of using his name alongside the Clough’s, Shankley’s and Paisley’s of this world.

Don’t know I had used anybody name alongside Paisley ,Shankley ,and Clough’s who l have always wondered what he would have achieved if SAFC had not finished him when he was justing starting his career in management

The combination of the sunflower lanyard, the look on his face when the coach is recovering the ball, and his extreme reaction to getting it took off him would suggest that the lad who stole the ball has learning difficulties. Thinking you'd get away with openly stealing a ball that has come off the pitch in training would also point to this.

I could be wrong like. Some of those could also just be symptoms of being a mag.

Or could be as simple as having a sheltered upbringing and everyone owes him something. His outburst was utterly bizarre.

He didn't get the ball back did he? Did the lad definitely have a ball? :lol:

On what little I have seen. Norwich are far worse.

But still got a draw with Newcastle. At Newcastle

No mag can claim they are better than any club in the Premier League. Because they have beaten no one and every team they've played has scored against them.

All Bruce (who never relegated them) and Ashley's fault though. Rafa (who did relegate them) will save the day.

I think he’s a good appointment considering the position they’re in and the likelihood of them being a Championship team next season.

Any manager coming in would have known they were likely accepting a relegation was to be added to their career.

They’d probably be able to get Rafa soon, mind.

If he gets money in January, he'll be getting binned if they get relegated. Had they made the right appointment (i.e. someone with experience of PL relegation battles and/or an organiser), they would have had a decent chance of staying up. All they needed was a short-term appointment to get them into the shape, grind out some results and keep them in touch until January where they could bring in a few players. Howe's just middle-of-the-road. Not really that young and exciting, not really a name, not really an experienced head. I don't know what they were aiming for.

I could still see them staying up. Howe's a streaky manager, so they'll put together a run eventually. I still think it was an odd appointment.

I didn't even notice that - there's no sign of a ball being recovered. He probably just had a rucksack full of crisps.

The question is when will he hit that streak?

That run (if it happens) could come way too late. But if it does?

If they go down, they'll keep him in my opinion.

Which might be a good move, he's been in that league before. But equally he will be under pressure to come straight back up. No one on here knows what the money he will have is, or how/Howe he might spend it.

But it could very easily be the start of a spectacular implosion of the club. If he has money and spends it badly, or doesn't get money at all from Riyadh..... and the fans turn. They'll drop like a stone.

On the other hand, if he spends wisely, and gets them back up, he will be a hero. A messiah. And then the game starts again. How much will he get and how will he spend it to keep them up.


Trophies in 5 years is not going to happen
 
This could get messy.

- Rafa gets the sack
- Howe's winless run continues
- The rabble start calling for Rafa as manager or DOF as he 'understands'
- After initial silence from the inexperienced owners they start to panic as they know that relegation is a disaster, they start to think the rabble are onto something and maybe Rafa is the best person come in and help Howe plus they know they will get huge credit from the rabble for this move
- Rafa makes a jubilant return

= Relegation
