So if Emery had been appointed - he would have been given all the time by the fans as he is a big name and we will have made a step up.    Howe, if is appointed basically will have 3 games (the easier ones) and if he doesn't win them, then the fans will turn really quickly as no one really believes in him.

 Is this something they’ve said since Emery’s statement?

 

Nah, just that he was second choice before that.

 

They've also written Emery chose not to leave Villareal, as he has a good relationship with the owners and the players, which seems fair enough. Similar to Rodgers at Leicester.

I think we are a patient fan base. Bruce got given time by the fans, as did McClaren.

 

Whoever comes in, be that Howe or Martinez will be given time by the fans and rightly so. They should and will get the rest of the season imo.

This makes me believe this was only an enquiry by nufc that somehow got media traction and blown out of proportion. 

 

Maybe they turned emerys head at first but then he has decided he is loyal to villareal.

Guess he decided to play it safe instead of taking a risk at Newcastle with hugely changing demands from the owners from safety to top 6 in a few years probably. Just shows he's not the right man for the job in a way.

 

While I agree, you can understand it. I wouldn't leave a safe job, where my staff and employees valued me, for a job where I don't know who my boss is going to be in a few months.

He had an initial interview and expressed interest in the job, but they never got to the stage of discussing contracts, according to the man himself.

I'll take Howe in light of the situation.

 

But I mean, is the man himself enough to galvanise the fanbase? I hope if he does come in he can do something but he's up against it more than say an emery or Fonseca (rightfully or wrongfully).

From villareal performance this season I don't think he was safe and this maybe has worked in his favour to get the villareal board to back him. 12 points from 11 games when they are in ucl does probably meet their expectations I imagine and maybe they had started to doubt him.

Yeah, it increasingly seems like he was just interviewed and then got impatient having not heard back.

 

Would be interesting to know where that leak about him coming in before the Brighton game came from. Seems so weird, as everything else has been so quiet.

 

Are we certain we were all set to appoint him?

For me now, we need to go all out for someone like Fonseca, stop being honest about our ambitions,  just lie, get them on board, and deal with unrest later, football is brutal, being open an honest does you no favours sometimes. 

 

Promise the world, and that way if you know said person isn't your long term man, fuck him off further down the line.

 

Play the game, these managers will, they get mental payouts for being dismissed.
