SUPERTOON

Howe really is a concern for me, pretty sure he lost 19/20 of his last 28 games or something like that. His Bournemouth side was better than our current one and he was in a much better position in the table and still couldn’t keep them up.

That ship has sailed I think regardless of what happens

Hopefully there is a cut off to all this because we really need a new manager in time for the international break

I wonder why we haven’t just activated the release clause in the first place.

Still no official quotes from anyone who matters though

You know anymore details on the Emery appointment ?

Well that’s absolute bollocks

Can’t see that being the issue he’s worked with them everywhere he has been

The only positive is that there is nothing official from Villareal or Emery which you would expect to have come or certainly arrive imminently.

He’s clearly been told by Emery or someone very close to him.

To go from Emery to Howe would be a complete change in the direction/ philosophy of the club surely?

Seems simple really, we thought we had him and then late last night he had a meeting with Villareal and decided to stay.

It’s criminal he’s allowed such an important role still

Ballague confirming again now that Emery is definitely staying at villareal.

I think he since held talks with villareal after his press conference last night and supposedly told them he will be staying.

The media are just out to disrail us.

Caulkin article this morning listing the reasons we want Emery- Rafa like, strong organiser, gets good performances out of average players. All great points so why would Howe be second choice because he isn’t any of those.

Just needs sorting one way or another today

Who’s to say Howe would even accept us knowing he was second choice.

Should know either way tomorrow then surely. Sounds to me like he hasn’t decided what to do yet.

Craig Hope comes alive after 10pm

He hasn’t yet ?

What did he say

Says he or club don’t know anything about it but considering he was interviewed on Sunday we can safely say it isn’t true.
