Skrevet av en Bournemouth fan i 2021 p? N-O forumet da Howe ble ansatt:

Bournemouth fan here. Thought I'd pop on to see what you're all saying about our lord and saviour Eddie Howe.

IMO he has the potential to be a brilliant appointment for you lot. One thing you get with Eddie is hard, hard work. He was always the first in the club and last to leave each day, to the point where by his final season he had really burnt himself out a bit tbh, which definitely contributed to us getting relegation. He is amazing at developing players up to and beyond their potential, and not always the players you necessarily think of as having potential. He took a team of lower league nobodies, and championship/PL rejects, and turned them into absolute star performers who left everything they had on the pitch. Players like Simon Francis, Marc Pugh, Steve Cook owe much of their careers to Eddie. I've never seen a squad with such an insane team spirit as ours that got promoted from the championship, but tbf that may also be as a consequence of our rapid rise through the leagues as much as anything.

On the training ground as well he is an absolute monster. Forget his nice guy image in the media, on the training pitch he suffered no fools and had a hell of a vocabulary on him. He's very meticulous in his approach to tactics which led to us playing some absolutely stunning beautiful football at times, but in his latter days he did show a bit of an unwillingness to change style and personel which held us a back a bit. He takes his time with new signings so I wouldn't necessarily expect to see any January transfers walk straight into the team. He usually took a good 6 months at least to bed a player into the setup before he trusted them in the starting 11.

One thing I'm really interested in is how he deals with your board. At Bournemouth he was known for being a control freak and pretty much directly oversaw all aspects of the club (think SAF at man u or Wenger at Arsenal), and one of the rumoured reasons why he left when we went down was that our board tried to change some of that and he basically walked. I'm not sure how this will translate to your current circumstance and how much Eddie has chnaged in this regard over his long break from football, as his obsessiveness and full effort definitely contributed to his downfall at the end of his time with us.

Either way, Eddie Howe is THE living legend as far as I'm concerned and you should be counting your blessing that he will grace your touchline with his presence

Dette her er ganske sykt. Han beskriver jo s? og si hele managerperioden under Newcastle f?r den skjedde. Er ganske tydelig at ikke Howe utvikler seg og l?rer, men heller kj?rer p? som han alltid har gjort. Man ser jo ogs? tydelig at han gj?r de samme feilene om og om igjen rent taktisk, og nekter ? endre p? det som ikke funker.

Til slutt vil jeg nevne det som er mest bekymringsverdig, og noe som vi ogs? har h?rt mye prat om i hans tid i Newcastle. Han er en kontrollfreak, og ?nsker ? bestemme alt. Dette har blitt ganske tydelig de siste somrene hvor vi n?rmest utelukkende g?r for typiske Howe typer fra andre engelske klubber (med unntak av Hall, som ikke har f?tt mye tillit - Ashworth signering?). Hvordan skal liksom Mitchell komme inn og legge planer over transfers, som han er s? god p?, dersom han bare m? v?re en yes man for Howe? Dette er jo en helt elending m?te ? drive samarbeid p? innad i klubben. Howe har flere ganger nevnt at han liker ? g? etter en liten gruppe med spillere i vinduene. Dette vinduet skal vi tilsynelatende ha g?tt n?rmest all in p? Guehi, da Howe ikke ville ha noen andre, og dette er resultatet. Noe er alvorlig galt akkurat n?, og jeg tror Howe er p? l?nt tid i dette prosjektet n?. Dessverre.

Dette har vaert et skikkelig stusslig overgangsvindu hittil maa jeg si!

1. Sitter fortsatt paa en haug med spillere som skulle vaert solgt i Dubravka, Targett, Lewis, Hayden og Fraser

2. Har 5 (!!!!!!) keepere, hva er greia med det?

3. Ikke en spiller inn som hever laget. Osula og Kelly gir noe bedre bredde. Ruddy og han grekeren, er vel ingen av de som er noe bedre enn Dubravka?

4. Sagaen med Guehi, gaar det an aa bruke saa inn i H....... lang tid paa enten faa en avtale i boks, eller bare la det vaere?

5. Maatte selge to talenter paa grunn av PSR. Hva fanken er greia med det, da motvirker jo PSR hele opplegget der man oensker at klubbene i stoerre grad skal utvikle egne spillere. Helt talentloest opplegg.

Kjenner optimismen har faatt seg en knekk. Kurante resultater hittil, men daarlig spill saavidt jeg har skjoent. Faar haape det tar seg opp litt utover.

Tror ikke vi f?r 15 mill for en 34-?ring, i s? fall er vi heldige imo. Er nok noe tull p? hjemmefronten, men han ?nsker nok ogs? mer spilletid. Tino skal spille fast denne sesongen. Trippier er ikke den spilleren han var for 1 ?r siden, noe som selvsagt er ganske vanlig i den alderen.

Joe Gomez ryktes stadig som et alternativ til Guehi, i tillegg til Chalobah. Er ikke veldig sugen p? noen av disse egentlig. Gomez har det fysiske, men roter f?lt til tider.

Mbeumo hadde v?rt perfekt p? h?yrekanten. Fortsatt bare 25 ?r gammel! Men tviler p? at Brentford slepper b?de han og Toney.

H?per det skjer noe snart!

Tja, hva skal man tro? Naa er vel ikke Luke Edwards den mest treffsikre kilden vanligvis, men virker ? v?re mye spr?yt rundt denne saken i media, som vanlig. Siden CP forhandler om en midtstopper, saa er det kanskje noe p? gang?
