How the hell is Al-Ghazi not been sent off yet. Ref totally bottling that. Bet he gets an equaliser later

Hope he gets announced today and can be in the dugout tomorrow evening. Would love to see what team and system he goes for. Could get an early idea who he likes and doesn't fancy from our squad

The more I think about Howe the more exciting I think this could be. I've always rated him and I love his style of play. Genuinely think he could shock a few fans and make a big impression here. Hope he gets the job now

Imagine a new young manager took over Carlisle United this morning. Bucket collections to keep them afloat. He turns around their form and stops them getting relegated to Non League Football. Next season he sorts them out and they get promoted as Champions of League 2. Next season in League one they walk the league including doing the double over the biggest club to ever grace League One and everybodys cup final - Sunderland. Carlisle in championship sounds mental but they win that league including 8-0 away win at Birmingham. First time in their history Carlisle United are in the Premier League! They play great football and finish 9th! Carlisle finish 9th in Premier. This manager keeps Carlisle in Premier League for 5 seasons. Eventually they are relegated on final day. This, manager who done all this is labelled shite, overrated and a failure. Absolutely incredible This is a mirror image of what Eddie Howe did at Bournemouth.

Got lots of companies house emails this morning confirming transfer. Guess thats 1 less things the Mackems can cling onto now. Poor Exile

Nowt to do with wages according to the oracle that is Guillem Balague

Aye that was my thought but someone on twitter (I know) said it doesn't matter if there is a release clause. No idea how true that is like

So Eddie Howe lads...

Any chance the UK media are wrong and there actually hasn't been any communication at all? Seems hard to believe the Villarreal president as so many different sources have reported it but I guess he could be right yeah??

Man Ronaldo never fucking fails to deliver. Guy is an absolute machine. Sensational strike

Like fucking clockwork how their season unfolds Start off out the blocks flying and do well in the cups. Start drawing/losing around nov/dec but its alright as they have 3 or 4 games in hand due to bulldozing through pizza cup and league cup Cant keep up league momentum due to shit squad and end upsacking managerand end up in play offs. Lose play offs to Charlton/Lincoln etc. Rinse and repeat

He was lifting at Spartak Moscow like. Got peddled after few months and lost a the Moscow derby 5-1 at home (all info i got from Wikipedia) Just a blip as he has been quality nearly everywhere else. I am very happy we have this sorted before Brighton

Dare someone make a new thread for him or would that jinx it after the Fonseca thread Pretty happy with this appointment but I always think of how average he was at Arsenal and worry. Guess I would worry no matter who it was. Anyone got a link to any English speaking Villarreal forums?

Been pretty decent this half have Everton. Rafa in

Yes I can definitely understand what you're saying. We have had that shite thrown at us under Bruce for over a year. If a clubs fans are all having a go at their manager despite the outside thinking its not that bad then I will usually side with the fans. They are the ones who watch every week. Just seems he hasn't had long enough and look alright when I saw them beat City and turned us over first match post takeover. Seen this on twitter and its 100% reminds me of us and Bruce:

10 games is just a ridiculously short time to give a manager especially when he has won 5 of the 10 matches! The reaction to him by Spurs fans yesterday was more vitriolic than anything we ever did to Bruce but I dont see any uproar, so damn annoying how we are portrayed as deluded and ungrateful

Christ what on earth has happened to Juventus. Lost at home to Sassulo on Wednesday and lost at Verona today. Sitting in 9th after 11 games. Did Ronaldo carry them that much?!

Was at the England v Australia Cricket 20/20 world cup match in Dubai with his son Alex.

Is it just me who thinks the whole ground singing 'We want Nuno out' just so uncalled for. He didn't spend any money I think and they still have 15 points so it hasnt been too bad. Much worse than anything Bruce ever got from the toon fans.

Spurs fans now booing Kane when he put a shite cross in. They are fucking shameless. Hate them so much. I hope Levy has sleepless nights about the £100m he could have got from City

Jones was never going to change that much in ten days but sorry like that team selection was fucking awful. Says something when 5 of the players on the bench are stronger than those who played. I'd have given him more credit if he picked the right team and we'd lost

Cavani is an unreal finisher like. Nuno getting boo'ed to fuck by Spurs faithful already man Bruce didnt get that much stick after his first 10 games. Nowt be said tho

Sorry worded that wrong. I agree we are poorer but dont think we are that much poorer on paper. Just goes to show how mich difference a good manager can make (or bad with Bruce )

Today both Vieira going to City and getting a win and Potter going to Anfield and getting a draw both with teams not that much better than us. A new manager would get some results in this so called nightmare December I reckon

Probably an 8 at the moment. Think if we get a proven manager in (Benitez for example) it would go right down to 3 or 4. My main worry is that apart from Norwich, there are no weak teams this season (possibly Watford). Teams like Brentford, Leeds, Southampton, Burnley etc will pick up odd wins every few weeks
