Re: David Moyes
Really dont want Eddie howe. He'd be a very everton appointment. Bit safe, not a massive ceiling. Hes the appointment for a team who cant identify talent

Re: David Moyes
The shouts of Howe and possibly Mckenna are just younger versions of Moyes. I don't see invention or boldness in either manager. If you want mid table then yeah.
Howe isn't getting the sort of funds here to build aside like the saudis gave him, not that he can now do that anyway.

Re: David Moyes
Howe's good, but he does play high press and can be direct. It'd be an evolution from Moyes not a revolution.
I think given the squad size and lack of options in various positions that's what we actually need, even if it's not what we necessarily want.

Re: David Moyes
Nope, and it's scary when I read articles like the one from Louis Saha today where he was discussing Moyes going to Celtic, and basically said they have no chance as he loves us and we love him, and how he can see him being here for a long time to come.
Honestly, the only thing keeping me engaged is that I'm counting down the days until he's gone, if he extends I'll be done, can't stand him

Let's not forget that before Newcastle, Howe had a pretty successful stint at Bournemouth, operating on a pretty restricted budget by Premier League standards.Indiantoffee75 wrote: Mon Oct 19, 2026 5:14 pm The shouts of Howe and possibly Mckenna are just younger versions of Moyes.

Bournemouth under Howe were a bit of a mixed bag. They could win comfortably one week, then get an absolute fucking drubbing the next, but if nothing else, they were entertaining. One thing that really strikes me about Eddie Howe is that he doesn't seem to stress about who his team are playing. He wants his team to focus on their game and press, press, press. That's a million miles from Moyes' bottle job at the weekend, starting Rohl on the wing because he was worried about Chelsea's left back, who ended up not even being in the squad anyway. We were at home, playing a team who have already conceded a fair few this season. Why was he worrying about that shit. Focus on what you can do to cause them problems. We're the home team FFS. Grow some fucking bollocks and have a fucking go!

Re: David Moyes
They play with 4 centre backs every week, as do Man City most weeks, so I don't see why it's automatically such a problem with us playing with 3.5 (Myko is probably 50/50 CB/LB).Kerryblueboy wrote: Mon Oct 19, 2026 7:52 am Reckon he will go with Jake at rb against arsenal with no other changes try limit them they score early and everything goes out the window
We could accommodate the rest of the game plan in other areas of the field.

I evolve, but I don't... revolve. Or vice-versa. I suppose what you're trying to say is, you don't want another David Moyes on your hands

Re: David Moyes
Because fundamentally, Arsenal and City play CBs who are comfortable at full back in that position and we don't. Calafiori, Gvardiol etc are still excellent full backs whereas we play JOB who's a fish out of water there pretty much.Cods wrote: Mon Oct 19, 2026 10:03 pm They play with 4 centre backs every week, as do Man City most weeks, so I don't see why it's automatically such a problem with us playing with 3.5 (Myko is probably 50/50 CB/LB).

We are not Arsenal or City.

He’s not the progressive “young” manager some seem to think he is.

Re: David Moyes
Not a fan of Howe, I don't think he's a manager who'll take us to the next level, much like Moyes we'll know what we're getting with him then moan when it happens. He might be waiting on the Everton job but I think there's also a reason that he's nearing 50, still out of work and the "biggest" club he's managed at is Newcastle.
But here we are again, throwing out the same names we do every 12-18 months just with a different thread title.
