    Honestly, man...

    we are so lucky to have Eddie Howe at our club.

    He's mint.

    Just been reading his comments over the Saudi loan issue and he's just class, man. Never over-reacts or bitces like Arseteta, ten Hag or Klopp and has taken all the shit we've had thrown at us in his stride.

    If the decision had gone against us, he'd have been just as calm in his response whereas Arseteta would actually have cried and Klopp would have literally exploded. Actually, literally.

    A manager we can be proud of in so many ways, and how many of our recent managers could we say that about?

    Robson, Rafa and Keegan-I'd suggest that's all. (Hughton was a lovely fella but I wasn't proud that he was our manager).

    100% agreed Zip.

    Bloke is an absolute credit.

    I really hope that he gets to see a trophy with us because he deserves one.

    Totally agree, thought Hughton was in the same mould as EH in that he kept his emotions in check, never flapped. Eddie is a one off though.

    He’s very pragmatic and objective. Seems to be keeping the info on our injured players more close to his chest now which is very sensible.

    Exactly that Cannylad he is a one off and although in their way so were Rafa, Sir Bobby and K.K. but I get the impression that Eddie Howe could take us to the heights that all of the other three combined did.

    It would have been interesting to have seen what each of the former brilliant previous managers could have done under the present setup and backing.

    Psychologically he's the best man manager we have ever had, way above the rest. K.K. had his enthusiasm, Sir bobby had his man to man tact and Rafa had his expert knowledge, but Eddie Howe has a lovely combination of all three.
