Edward "JudasLiar" Howe (born 29 November 1977) is an English former footballer and manager of Burnley. A defender before retirement who spent much of his career at Bournemouth, he was the youngest manager in the Football League when appointed Bournemouth manager in January 2009.[1]
Playing career
Howe began his professional career at Bournemouth, after signing from local football team Parley Sports. He soon established himself as an important player. His performances earned him many admirers and he was selected for the Football League side that played their Italian counterparts in a special friendly, as well as being capped for the England Under-21 team in the Toulon Tournament in 1998.[2]
In March 2002, Portsmouth signed Howe for £400,000, making him new manager Harry Redknapp's first signing. He had played 237 games for Bournemouth. Howe began well at Portsmouth, but shortly after signing a knee injury ended his season.
He returned for the opening game of the 2002-03 season against Nottingham Forest, but he injured his knee again after only nine minutes and was ruled out for the entire campaign. He did not return to full fitness until January 2004 after 18 months out. He was loaned to Swindon Town on transfer deadline day in March, although he did not feature for the club.
Portsmouth loaned Howe back to Bournemouth for the first three months of the 2004-05. He proved to be successful on his return to his first club and in November 2004 Bournemouth re-signed him permanently on a free transfer, after chairman Peter Phillips made an appeal over the Internet for fans to pledge money to buy Howe. Such was Howe's popularity at Dean Court, the club received pledges of £13,500 in less than two days.[citation needed]
Managerial career
In December 2006, at the age of 29, Howe was promoted to the position of player-coach by manager Kevin Bond, and handed the task of coaching Bournemouth's reserve team, though he continued to play in the first team. He retired from football in summer 2007, after he was unable to recover from a knee injury.[3] In September 2008, Howe lost his job when Bond was sacked as manager.
AFC Bournemouth
Howe returned to Bournemouth as a youth coach under Jimmy Quinn and took over as caretaker manager when Quinn was sacked on 31 December 2008.[4] Even though his two games in charge as caretaker manager were away defeats, he was hired as the permanent manager of the club on 19 January 2009 and brought the club out of the relegation zone despite a 17 point deficit.
In the start of the 2009–10 season, Howe won eight out of the nine games, a club record. In November 2009, Championship club Peterborough United approached Howe to replace Darren Ferguson as their manager but Howe rejected their approach.[5]
Despite the club's transfer embargo remaining in place for the rest of the season, Bournemouth secured promotion to League One after two years in the fourth tier of English football thanks to a 2-0 away win at Burton Albion on 24 April 2010.[6]
In early 2011 Howe was approached by several other clubs but on 11 January announced that he was staying at Bournemouth.[7] However, on 14 January 2011 Howe became the new Burnley manager after the club agreed a compensation deal with Bournemouth.[8][9][10] He took charge of his 100th and final Bournemouth match later that day in a 2–1 defeat away to Colchester United.[11]
Burnley
On 16 January 2011 Howe was announced as the new manager of Burnley after signing a three-and-a-half year contract at the Championship club. His first game was a 4-2 FA cup victory over League Two side Port Vale, with Chris Eagles scoring twice. His first league game was away to struggling Doncaster, which ended in a 1-0 defeat. The only goal of the game was an own goal by Michael Duff.
In March 2011, Howe told BBC Lancashire the fact that some of the players are older than him (Brian Jensen and Graham Alexander) makes his job interesting.[12] Howe is married to Vicki and they lived in Poole until his appointment. He also has a black labrador called Thunderchuck.
