If he leaves us for personal reasons I have no problem with that but if he leaves the club he “loves” only to turn up two weeks later at another club then I’m afraid he loses all credibility with me. To leave us in the lurch like this, when we are already in turmoil, is not the action of somebody who loves the club, unless he genuinely believes we will be better off without him.Obviously totally gutted about tonight’s events. I was in the camp of people who thought he had earned the right to survive a relegation and be given the opportunity to bounce back.
We don’t know any of the circumstances behind tonight’s announcement but for some of you to be spouting crap such as if he goes to another club (Palace - Bristol) “he would be dead to me” is utterly pathetic.
We all know the history of AFCB and Eddie Howe. He has made all our dreams come true over the last decade. To be honest, I never even dreamed we would make it to the Premier League.
So please, after all he has done for us, do not disrespect him just because he is leaving us by mutual consent. I personally can’t thank him enough for the wonderful memories, the sparkling football we witnessed and the total joy he has given my Dad, myself and my kids.
He is only 42. Of course he is going to get another job somewhere else. It is ridiculous to slag him off for doing that.
Honestly, I am totally gutted, but just at losing him, not at Eddie himself.
I’m desperately trying to imagine a scenario 12 months from now, where having blitzed the Championship under our new manager ( insert name here ) we are all saying that Eddie’s epiphany that somebody else taking charge would be better for the club was the best thing to ever happen to us.No point in speculating or pointing fingers...however this happened it must be wrench for Eddie to leave and a hard decision to let him go if that was how it occurred....
We move on and must hope that whoever comes in can do a job for us....it may work in our favour to have a new broom and someone not so emotionally immersed in the club...it is a results business after all?
Surely if you love the club and accept that you are the best man for the job, the things you mention shouldn’t be an issue. You do the best with what you’ve got for the club you love, surely ? If you walk away in that situation it smacks of self interest IMO.Maybe EH could see the writing on the financial wall with no cast iron promise of a new stadium and/or training ground . The prospect of players and assets being sold to offset debts he might not have wished to be part of the decline. I wish him well wherever he ends up.
