Whatever happened to that nice guy Eddie Howe, alanshearer asked... The Newcastle United manager spoke about: 🔲 Falling 'in love' with NUFC 🔲 His Saint-Maximin methods 🔲 Considering the club's ownership ➡️
We are on the Gateshead side of the river, gazing through a hotel window at the thick, black water below, across the span of the Tyne Bridge towards Newcastle and a place called home. Eddie Howe has been talking about the city’s ferocity, about tumbling head over heels with the gorgeous madness of it, about being able to see St James’ Park from here, from his new house, from everywhere and then he says something that makes my breath catch.
“I’m not in it to be popular or anyone’s second team,” Eddie says and it is like a symphony crashing in my ears. “I’m in it to try to win, to create a culture and environment where we don’t accept anything other than winning. To do that, you can’t be labelled nice or soft touches and that means doing everything to get that win. At times, that might be unpopular with opposing teams, opposing supporters, referees.”, but Eddie is tapping into something far deeper and older.
“Definitely,” he says. “I’m trying to build the unity we need, not just with the players I’m working with and the staff and supporters, but through the whole city, that we’re all together, that we’re all united against everybody else. To say, ‘Come with us on this journey as we try and fight everyone for success’.”I’m fuming, I say, as we sit down in an executive lounge at the Gateshead Hilton, Eddie pristine in his training kit, top button fastened.
“If that’s your style then eventually you’ll stop winning and you’ve got a big problem. So we’re trying to change. It’s got to be gradual, but we’re trying to implement a style where we’re progressive and dominant and going home and away to attack the game. That’s going to be my biggest marker in terms of how we improve rather than points.
The other way he has done it is by looking to the past. The Keegan and Sir Bobby years felt lost to Newcastle, as if the memory of near misses, cup finals and thewas too painful to bear. Kevin came back under Ashley and was treated dreadfully. I gave it a go as manager , told him what I thought should happen next and never heard from him again. All of us were ostracised from the club we used to be. Alienated from fun.
