SUPERTOON

The caulkin article says he impressed them with his idea of who to target in the January window and how he could work with Jones. And they where also impressed because he has worked with Wilson, Ritchie and Fraser before.

And they didn’t really take 24 hours to get conte

After the last 24 hours and initial disappointment, if it’s Howe they want then let’s go and get him make sure he is in for Monday and hope he can perform a miracle with these lot.

Be easier to get behind him if he’s bringing in coaches with him and the Steve’s get binned we need a complete we set of voices. Unfortunately Jones is already staying.

I meant hope in terms of this season, as in staying up. As I’ve said previously I will get right behind Howe (if it is him) and hope he can pull it off. Still don’t think fans should be criticised for not being happy with his appointment.

I think most are just underwhelmed that after 3/4 weeks it seems it will be Eddie Howe. It’s got nothing to do with expecting big names at all just someone who can give us a bit of hope tbh.

That says more about the last 15 years than it does about Howe

Fair point I just think we are that poor the extra week could prove key considering the games coming up and the need to get at least 7 points from them

No not for Saturday I agree but it’s imperative they are in for the 2 week break IMO

Since they haven’t confirmed Jones is doing the pre match presser yet I assume they think they can get Howe or another in by Saturday.

Well if he needs convincing then he’s not for us

If it’s Howe they want there is zero excuse to not have this done by tomorrow

Howe was in Liverpool today maybe Everton want him as well

If we get one, we don’t actually know this is the route we are taking

Some are overestimating our squad or not looking at how precarious our position is. We would have been fine with Emery or someone of similar stature but I think we will struggle massively with Howe.

I don’t see how it has taken 3 weeks to know emery doesn’t want it tbh

I’ll be honest my disappointment comes from more what I wanted them as new owners to do more than anything. I expected them to come in and be completely ruthless I thought Bruce would be gone immediately and key decisions would be made straight away. I guess the reality is that wasn’t possible. I will fully get behind Howe but for me his appointment will end in us being relegated.

Makes pretty grim reading

I’m doubtful any out of work manager is realistic now

Whoever it is needs to be in before then international break and give a chance for the negativity to die down before the crucial Brentford game

Can’t see it being anyone other than Howe unfortunately

No because you said you don’t know why people don’t want him and then say you don’t remember how Bournemouth played

Yeah waiting till Monday and till January are identical

Yep I will back him if it’s him but it will only take us not beating Brentford to start the fans turning
