A little bit depressing that these are the only two names left. 

 

If you believe a source that:

 

i) said Bruce would be sacked within 48 hours

ii) didn't know Bruce had been sacked 

iii) didn't report Emery as a candidate 

 

They'll just go back to mentioning Howe, Favre, Martinez, etc. They don't have a scooby.

Need to go all out for Graham Potter , nobody can tell me he wouldn’t leave Brighton for Newcastle.

We'll end up with his cousin Harry at the rate we're going.

Massive cock up really, no point dressing it up otherwise.

 

They need to start getting some decisions made and the right ones. A month in and we’ve done fuck all.

He wouldn't leave Brighton for Newcastle.

Any danger we can just get behind whoever is appointed?

I agree to a certain extent but would also be amazed if it wasn’t one of those 2/3 names linked everyday

Just march to Everton with £12m. Makes sense to every single party.

Better than Howe. If Fonseca is out of the picture I'm hoping it's Favre or Nuno, but between Howe and Martinez it's the latter every day of the week for me.

He’s absolutely not, like. Martinez’s record is bang average, masked by a fluke FA Cup win.

Depends who it is like. Pardew or Bruce, nah.

 

Any other manager who comes in and keeps Ritchie at left back and Darlow in goal, nah.

[The Merse]

Can't remember exactly but Bournemouth played us off the park up here - great goal from a corner I think

Could get Rayvon to tell us to "ENJOY THE GAME!"

Already looking forward to the reaction of them not winning their first match.

[worthy]

if its Howe, might as well let Jones continue honestly. You can talk about achievements all you want with Howe, and kudos for taking Bournemouth up. But he was found out and we will continue with Ritchie and... ugh have Shelvey on the field.

[Guest HTT II]

To be fair to the new owners, given how shite we are on and off the field, it bodes well for us long-term if the likes of Emery is the calibre of manager we want to manage the club even at this jun tire and although they may have fucked up getting him ‘over the line’ for whatever reasons, it could well be down to their lack of footballing know-how or lack of. There was a scene in the Sopranos where Ritchie was looking to take out T and, well, he just couldn’t sell it. Proper football people in may be able to and will eventually if appointed I’m sure. They need to make a decision quick though, either a permanent or stop gap appointment, before it’s too late which it may already be so…

Who for DOF though?  It's the middle of the season, can't just pluck one out of thin air.

 

Rangnik, Campos, Herrera, overmars.

 

any of these would be mint

World class mangers don't want a team second from bottom with a shite squad... IM SHOCKED !!

 

We tried for Emery he's said no..ever other name this past couple of week was speculation..nothing more.

[SUPERTOON]

Again they could calm everything down with some communication. Are we looking to hire a sporting director, will someone be in before the crucial international break. They really need to start communicating.

One of SB's better games was the 4-1 away win at Bournemouth. Fancy getting a tactical masterclass from the Bacon Monster.

[Lush Vlad]

Well. This has been a right mess.
 

I’d happily have Howe in. Not mad keen on him. But not as down as some, either. Was half convincing myself he might replace Bruce under Ashley. Would have been thrilled with that. 
 

Can’t afford to wait much longer, keep writing games off when we are desperate for points. Getting the new man in for the international break is a must. 

[toontownman]

Tbf Emery has come across a bit of a cunt in this too. Clearly talked to us and came close if not verbally agreeing, now doesn't want to be the bad guy. Fuck him, we need someone that wants to be here and we need to get on with it. I also ojt know he would have been the 

 

Just a huge gut punch.. SSN/Downie say Howe or Martinez over Favre or Fonseca. If that is true I hope it's howe. We will end up committing long term to Martinez, not that a payoff matters I guess. Martinez isn't that bad either but we won't get him prior to the international window.

 

Feel this ownership will still want to go for someone with a bigger resume than Howe. We could end up with him saying no at this point. 

[The Prophet]

The only real cock up they've made is allowing this to be made public. We've most likely been knocked back loads on the quiet.

What can they say at this point? "Our first choice turned us down so now we're working our way down the list"?

 

I've been critical but they can't communicate anything of value at present; they just need to continue with their search.

Got Everton to 5th and later got them to 2 cup semi-finals in the same season. Won a trophy with Wigan even though they went down which is more than Howe has done.
