It's some ask from any manager.

Ignore him/her. Same old.

Yep, with the same strategy and same outcome.

The alternatives aren't great are they.

Let's just sit back and watch the same 11 try to defend against an impressive Brighton team. Leeds and Watford don't play until Sunday anyway so at least we'll still only be 6 points behind, may as well write this one off anyway.

That's jinxed. Who's next?

So it's Howe for now?

Well that's good. Was getting a bit worried for a minute.

I guess we don't really know what's going on with the defenders not getting in the team, but surely anyone with a footballing brain can recognise that Ritchie is a massive weak link at the moment.

The problem is Jones isn't a manager. Howe is.

I know most players cheat, but the reaction from Antony was disgraceful.

Definitely Maybe

If it’s Howe (until Rafa is available next summer) just get on with it and appoint him before Brighton. The thought of watching another Jones display makes me sick.

I see Norwich might want Howe too. Oh the panic.

Sign Foden now!

Lampard gets the signings in January. So would gerrard tbf. Not sure Howe does.

I’ve checked, same person. Bizarre career he’s had.

Is Lampard certainly out of the running?

All this talk of Howe, we all know it’s gonna be someone else tomorrow.

Owen brown the former Barrow manager?

Hodgson first

I think we can move on from the days of managers with no plans. That’s my point. Surely everyone we interview will do the same?

again, my only issue is the media coverage yesterday. I have no issues with the timescales of getting a new manager in place. If we could get Rafa in December I’d wait rather than bringing Howe in, but that’s unlikely isn’t it. bring Howe in, if he’s rubbish just sack him. Easy.

It’s a massive shame that Jones didn’t pass the “are you better than Bruce” test.

oh, you’re not asking in hindsight? I’d say if we have a chance of getting Pep in 3 weeks we should wait for that.
