Seriously…is he the best they could get..

Howe is a modern day Curbishley at best…

But who of any quality would go to. Newcastle???

The bride of Wildenstein says Howe was appointed after a rigorous recruitment process.

Basically everyone else turned you down so it was either Eddie Howe or Harry Redknapp.

We've got all the money in the world, what top manager shall we get in?

Eddie Howe.

Hilarious.

Re: Barcodes - Bruce gone
Apparently Howe turned down Celtic as not all his coaching staff wanted to go up there, but Newcastle is hardly around the corner. Who knows.

No player from any of the other bottom five clubs should visit the Saudi embassy, for any reason whatsoever.

Re: Barcodes - Bruce gone
for whatever reason, I'm sure they promised a job to this graham jones character. why should a new manager have a coach he don't want forced on him? it gets better by the day

Re: Barcodes - Bruce gone
Rumours saying
Howe wants his backroom staff
Owners say No
Howe may not go

Re: Barcodes - Bruce gone
Howe is a very good coach. And if the rumours are true that Marc Overmars is coming as director of football in January. Then Howe won’t be buying or selling the players. All he got to worry about is getting through to May. And with some of the dross around them. It ain’t an impossibility. Could be a savvy appointment.

Crossed - Don't you even have the weekend of from trolling? I'm saying he has a similar management style to our saviour Moyes, you cretin.

Texas Iron 2:44 Sat Nov 6
Re: Barcodes - Bruce gone
Never impressed by him...
Mediocre Bit of a mumbler...
Reminds me of Curbishley...
Won't deliver much more than mid table...
Doubt Toon fans are impressed...
Can't see him buying quality players...
Bargain Bin rummaging is his style...
Excellent. Choice for mid table mediocrity...
Long may he reign ...but I doubt it...

Howe ain’t fit to lace Moyes’ boots.

Re: Barcodes - Bruce gone
I like Eddie Howe and would have been happy to have had him here if the situation was right. Meant to be a bit like Moyes, likes to be hands on with all aspects of the club, a workaholic who gives it his all, with a good loyal team around him.

Hard to say how it will go though as the owners are weird and the Toon fans don't need much of an excuse to turn on a Southerner.

Re Crassus
"Howe is a shite manager and will fail dismally
Had a relatively big budget at Bournemouth, against perception and made a mess of it"

When Howe took over at Bournemouth they had a transfer embargo and a -17 point deficit at the very bottom of the Football League.
The fact he kept them in the League on the final day at all was miraculous.
To then go on to take the club all the way up through the pyramid to the Premier League and then keep them there for 5 years makes your assessment look foolish.
They only got relegated because of Aston Villa gaining a point they shouldn't have had if any one of 4 officials and VAR had seen the Villa keeper carry the ball over the line against Sheffield United.
Yes he lost his way towards the end of that season but to boldly pronounce he is a shite manager and will fail dismally is frankly a bit thick.

Re: Barcodes - Bruce gone
I think some of the bigger names are experienced enough to leave the hard work to someone like HOWE and maybe come in further down the line to spend the big money once he has worked out how to shift the likes of Joelinton and bloody Shelvey and had a couple of years of pain.

Re: Barcodes - Bruce gone
I like the appointment of Howe better than some big is name they scrape up from another league. Well, when I say like I only mean it’s good to see an English manager get a chance for once.

Takashi Miike 11:16 Fri Nov 5
Re: Barcodes - Bruce gone
someone correct me if wrong, but didn't howe fall out with a few of the bournemouth players who left, in particular fraser (who he didn't pick for months) and ritchie? not really going to unite the dressing room is it, seeing him turn up? :.)

"The only ones that will join will be mercenaries"

too damn right - they really are going to have to buy success, unless you are born there it would be hard to develop any genuine affinity with the place

Re: Barcodes - Bruce gone
They are a car crash of a club

First thing should have best football administrators in, pay what it takes.

Line up the best manager to keep them up, fucking obvious, Allardyce

Plan for his replacement the day he came in

Line up the players you need to keep you up, proper defenders

Develop off pitch, structure etc

It;s pathetic

gph 8:27 Fri Nov 5
Re: Barcodes - Bruce gone
Or a top-tier Andorran football club, and never be sacked again. Maybe he'd even win something.

Bruce could buy a Spanish village with his pay off 😁
