EDDIE HOWE – NO RELATION, WELL, NOT BY BLOOD!

You can tell who was your best coach in a 20-year playing career, when you take into consideration it was your worst spell. Mine came at Arsenal under Don Howe, who was without a shadow of a doubt the best coach I have ever turned up to train with. His magic was his ‘simplicity’ and today he would not need all of these modern day technique (and staff) around him to get a winning team together. Fast forward forty years and we have Eddie Howe, no relation, not a blood one, although they are very much related in not only winning football matches but playing the game the right way in doing so. Eddie Howe has been slowly learning his trade at what they called last night on SKY as “below the radar” only he put them in his place by replying, my radar had never been any different and my teams play this way at every level.
Perfect answer!

He should be applauding himself!

His team play with the kind of style, energy and desire that is if you are a great cook or chef you have all the right ingredients or the perfect recipe for success and they do play tasty football. Just hold your breath and hope that they remain at the top of the Championship come the last day of the season.
The most important thing here, and I mean important, is that in a week that Roy Hodgson is seeking an extension on his England contract, one that he can take his “pathetic” World Cup record into the next tournament, in three years’ time. Well, I would too, it’s a great job if you can get it isn’t it?
I mean; a few competitive matches a year and a few get-togethers in between traveling the country all expense free in the best hotels, food, drink and everything else on a little piece of plastic, that I would die for.
The English FA have given millions of pounds to the biggest failures and frauds in management of anyone in the world and after Brazil, where we failed to get through the group for the first time in history, here we are thinking of letting him do it all over again.
Give me the job, and I’ll finish you bottom of any group, but if I did, I do not think I’d be there four years later. On yeah, I don’t fit the criteria of those at the FA the Greg Dyke team of ‘money earning’ idiots.
I could live on their expenses alone and they have not got a clue how far the penalty spot is from the goal-line.
But negativity out of the way, Howe is a brilliant manager with the kind of ideas that his namesake had, ‘to play the game the way it should be played”
Hold on though, I haven’t finished, I have never known a manager to have such a brilliant team, where I have never heard of any of them, now, that’s management and last night (6 March) at Fulham, after they hit the front they were superb, and not for the first time this season. As Eddie said, “It was not our best performances of the season” which tells another story, he like me, believes that the most important factor in football, as well as life, is consistency.
The reason I had to write this blog is if Roy Hodgson is allowed to take England to the next World Cup after his last embarrassing expedition (disaster) abroad in front of such a great upcoming young coach it will just give one more another to know, not think, that those running our game are morons.
Like in the Seventies managers never picked the best players and now we are doing it with management, for at long last England have a brilliant young coach. No wonder those bookmakers love the World Cup coming round, because they can rip off all those silly enough to back us, which makes them sillier than those at Soho Square!
I say give the job to our bright new hope, with three years to bring a new and youthful team through and get rid of Rooney and all the other failures from Rio – and oh how lucky we are that he retired.
