Scoot Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Wherever these leaks have come from, they need to find out and stop them. This obviously hasn't helped the situation at all. Another day in the life if an nufc fan. Disappointment! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a symptom of the Ashley era here, in that the place is a shit-tip and we're asking the rodents to redecorate, but howay. There's clearly someone involved in the decision-making process who needs pinning to the floor because this business with the leak has scuppered a potentially great thing. Bit of an embarrassing day and you worry what authority the new manager is actually going to have, when it was as clear as day that he wasn't first choice. It’s a real shame we’re going down, if the situation wasn’t so dire the stakes would be a lot lower. Hire whoever, take time to get the club reorganised, get a world class manager a bit later.

Wilson Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Aye, that's shit. Worry creeps in a bit now as it seems this was their number 1 and they tried hard for him and failed, Eddie Howe isn't what I want/expected but if that's who it is, we can just move on for now. I think Howe is the plan B and will be more of a stop gap until we can entice a higher calibre manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sets us back 2 or 3 years in the grand scheme of things. I'll still be happier in the championship without Ashley than in the Premiership with him. People really need to understand just how bad a state the club is in. It's like an oil tanker we're trying to turn around here. We're not even starting from a standing start, we're still in the car driving to the warm up before the race. It'll take a long time to sort out the mess Ashley has left.

Nobody Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 This really isn't a good start for the new consurtium. If we end up with Howe three weeks after sacking Bruce, 'the process' really hasn't been working. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Eddie fucking Howe man. I'm gutted. What a disappointment, all the promise and riches and positivity of the new regime, all the exciting names mentioned, and after spending weeks on "the process" they're going for the lemon barley water of football managers. Can't be arsed me, might go back to not caring feels easier Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we end up with Howe three weeks after sacking Bruce, 'the process' really hasn't been working. I don't think there's any reason to question the gap, despite losing out on Emery. Just because Howe was available on day one doesn't mean they'd identified him as their preferred (second) choice then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robster Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 While it's disappointing, my way of dealing with whoever comes in is that they are an improvement on Bruce. For this year, all we need is for someone to get a little bit of a tune out of the players, get us to at least 17th, then we can kick on next season. If it's Howe then from 4 weeks ago, that's an upgrade. Fuck Emery. His loss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s in nowhere near as bad a state as being made out. Not at all That's what I'm getting at; the infrastructure. It's a shambles. Saying that....it looks as if someone has dropped the ball with leaking this. They need to learn and learn quick, and they're not devoid of criticism here.

The Prophet Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Emery was the outstanding candidate, so that's a real shame. It sounds like he was already being quite indecisive and the leak tipped things for him. That said, if he was having doubts, maybe its a good thing. If the Athletic are to be believed we'll go for Howe now. He's certainly a step down from Emery, but he showed enough promise with Bournemouth that he can stabilise the club in the short to medium term. His transfer record is a touch concerning, but it sounds like we'll have a sporting director who will take those decisions out of his hands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
