Eddie Howe didn’t take Gary O’Neil’s Monday Night Football appearance too seriously. As the Newcastle United boss, Howe knows the importance of not revealing too much in front of the cameras. O’Neil was a guest on Sky Sports’ flagship show earlier this week, just days before his team faced Howe’s Newcastle at Molineux. And boy, did O’Neil give the viewers a treat! He used footage from a recent training session to show the behind-the-scenes work that goes into a successful game plan. He even shared the strategy Wolves used to defeat champions Man City. But Howe wasn’t fazed. He knows the value of thorough opposition analysis. In fact, he appeared on Monday Night Football himself in 2020 and understands the need to hide certain things from the cameras. When asked about O’Neil’s revelations, Howe jokingly said, ‘I don’t think I learned anything. You always have to take media appearances with a pinch of salt. You give away a certain amount, but you probably hide most of it too!’ It’s clear that Howe and O’Neil share the same mindset when it comes to media appearances. They both understand the delicate balance of sharing information without giving away too much. So, while O’Neil’s insights may have impressed the viewers, Howe wasn’t surprised at all. He and his team of analysts are already well-prepared for the upcoming match against Wolves. And as for O’Neil, well, he may have given away a few secrets, but Howe knows better than to take everything at face value. It’s all part of the game, after all.
