Tsunami Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Bit gutted but it’s a huge job and if that person isn’t 100% committed it’s better they don’t come. If Mandy is on probation with PIF she’s behind the game. We’ve heard precious little so far, Bruce should have been sacked day 1 and this Emery business doesn’t reflect well. Whoever comes in now does so with everyone knowing they weren’t really wanted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 One interview with Howe and people will jump on board, I reckon. He's not as good as Emery but neither were any of the other likely candidates. Would you really prefer the unknown quantities of Favre/Fonseca? or the the known but uninspiring Martinez? I don't think Ten Hag, Rafa or Rodgers were ever serious options, therefore Howe is pretty much on the level we will have to accept. Unless they can pull a rabbit out of the hat.

I'm one of the weirdos where the unknown excites me, even in spite of our predicament. Would take Howe and get behind him though, I was screaming for him pre takeover this season and still feel he would improve the side as I did back then.

ToonTastic Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I find it odd that the news about Fonseca to Villa has appeared from nowhere. Definitely looks like the work of an agent. He is someone I'd like to see here though, definitely someone who I could see wanting to progress further than they have so far so would see the challenge of Newcastle.

HaydnNUFC Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Fonseca could well be a PR recovery of sorts. I'd certainly take him. Think my order of preference out of the names linked is Favre Fonseca Howe Martinez Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 9 minutes ago, mighty__mag said: It was more in reference to the handling of Emery. If we had perhaps said 4yr deal when can you sign, things might have turned out differently. So you're saying Fonseca would sign 18 month deal with the possibility of being sacked as the club persue a long term managerial target? I think most managers are not necessarily going to be keen on a short term project, including Howe, or Martinez. I'd guess someone like Lampard might take a short term role? They don't need a short term appointment. Just go for the best you can get right now, and try to get someone that could potentially develop into a long term option. All the reports on Fonseca were really promising as they said the consortium were really impressed by him. Think they're only holding back because they're listening to all the voices saying we need prem experience to avoid the drop. If he did well in the interview and you thought he was a really good manager that would do well then just go for it, and don't second guess it so much.

KaKa Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 If we were in mid table we would have hired Fonseca or Favre by now. It's really quite unfortunate. You've got all these morons on Sky and Talksport saying we need a relegation specialist and I think that's affected the decision making a bit, as it has meant they are prioritising someone that knows the league. I just think that is really silly. There's loads of managers that know the league and they still stink. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Dancer Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I think one of the main things that hyped me up when the news broke yesterday was that it looked likely Emery was coming in this week with the intention of either managing v Brighton or certainly just being there, to then have the entire international break to work with the team prior to a decent home game vs Brentford. Going back to the drawing board just wastes precious time, man. What a kick in the bollocks today has been. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorin Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I mean, f the Manager, why is FAT MIKEs look-a-like still at the club ASSISTING? Shit goes haywire with FlukEE. Why have the DOF, IF that's the way we're going/leaning still not figured out? That should be first priority, then manager. Makes no sense hiring a manager first, then put a DOF on top of that. So much wasted time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
