[Football] My Irrational Hatred of Beheady Howe

[Jim in the West]

He didn’t work wonders at Bournemouth, they had an extortionate wage bill.

Indeed - they blatantly broke FFP rules the year they got promoted from the Championship. Their level of spending that year was eye-watering.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I think we've all covered Howe enough over the years- can I just also raise the fact that he speaks with his teeth clenched together constantly, and I don't know why that makes me suspicious but it does.

That said, Smug Eddie does clearly have qualities that allow him to engage with players and motivate them, and probably also with referees, judging by the long list of scandalous decisions his teams have got against us one the years (still haven't forgiven that penalty against Calderon at the Amex).

Let's get on to Tindall however. An absolute waster, a failed manager in his own right, who is condemned to spending the rest of his life following his mate around the country, hoping that wherever he goes, Eddie gives him a job. Imagine being that unskilled that you are only ever going to gain employment if your much more talented friend gives you a position? To compensate for his lack of ability, he's forced to push himself to the forefront of every match situation, desperately trying to get his face on camera and trying to convince the world that he actually does something, when in reality his job consists of getting the cones in after training and clapping a lot while shouting "COME ON THEN LADS" after Smug Eddie finishes the pre-match briefing or half time team talk.

I mean, he's probably on £250,000 a year for being Head of Cone Collection, so I suppose he's the one laughing all the way to the bank, but it doesn't make him any less of a whopper, does it?

There never was a Plucky/Howe miracle. For example 2018/19.

Squad cost:
Plucky £209m
Albion £152m

Accounts loss:
Plucky £32m
Albion £16m


[Infrastructure spend at that time:
Albion £177m
Plucky - a confidential contract with Lego]

Breaking FFP to get promoted then just paying the fine would tend to lessen his achievement.

Plus before VAR his team always seemed to get penalties when playing us, despite no one in the ground including the Bournemouth players appealing for one.

Ahhhhgggghhhhaaaarrr! Bournemouth hand ball outside of our penalty box and they get a sodding penalty. Unbelievable. Why did you remind me? So many years ago now but still so raw

Even from the Withdean SS, in real time it was obvious what happened. The League One officials an embarrassment.

I am normally in agreement with your perspective but on this occasions I wonder whether your sweeping generalization may not be a little wide of the mark, regarding side-kicks who provide little.

I get the impression you've been saving that up for a while

But Peter Taylor had a degree of success as a manager in his own right.

Tindall stepped into the AFCML role after Smug Eddie decided to take a break following relegation, only to be a total disaster with a squad that should have walked the Championship.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I feel like that about Steve Cooper - ok manager but fc*k is he not a peach to look at!

Looks like a serious wrong-un in photos. But when he speaks, you can see that he really isn't. Seems like a decent bloke.

And I'll say it again, Howe is OK.

This is what badness looks like

The contrast is not particularly stark. Taylor had one decent season managing us, with Clough's team, then went back to Clough. Tindall is young enough to have one decent season in similar circumstances, sometime in the future. But that isn't my point.

My point was that the management teams are both effective and they are both teams, so denigrating Tindall's role in the team is baseless, as would be denigrating Taylor's role in his team under Clough.

Let's not forget that team has got tea in it, and who doesn't like a lovely cup of tea?

I don't think it's 'decent' of him to make the ridiculous comments he made after the match Saturday. Okay they are not as laughable as Jordan Henderson's but still. He knows he lied. Someone like the new Tottenham boss would have just said it how it is.

And for some clubs let's remember there's no f in team!!

Big Ange?

Let's see how honest and gracious he is when his team get rodgered into next Tuesday in a must-win match.

Mate.

I love an irrational hatred.

I have similar with Will Ferrell.

Well, I say irrational. It’s his thick, porcine, skin and pubey hair that makes me loathe him.

I’m with you on this all his films are shit I don’t get the hype.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

The thing is, with a film, you don't have to watch.

When The Albion play a team managed by someone you don't like, you do have to watch.

That. Is. A. Disgrace.

This is NSC and it's all about opinions. If I want to rip into Jason Tindall's role as head of Cone Collection and Dressing Room Bantz, then I bloody well will

Good point. Detachment and justifiable suppositions are so real world.

Smug thought 3-1 was harsh and that they matched us. Pillock

He really should of said we had a few early chances until De Zerbi tweaked his formation and I was completely baffled, my mate sun tan Tindal didn’t have a clue either

I hadn't realized Eddy's assistant is Korean. Every day's a school day on NSC!

Old School is funny (In my opinion) Zoolander as well.
