madras Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Couldn't put up with Emery. We've just had a weekend of tea towels and fake sheiks so don't want a weekend of blokes dressed as women pushing people over shouting "Oooh you are awful.....but I like you".

Gerrard, Lampard, Martinez etc. Emery yes but prefer Conte. Whoever comes in has a big job on just knocking this lot into shape, mentally and physically It’s a tricky one because we are into the season, are in a relegation fight and we are not a top side so our options are going to be limited. Ideally we would throw whatever it takes to bring say a Conte in and just give him what he wants, but even that brings its own risks. I’m genuinely trying to put myself in the new owners’ shoes and thinking what is best right now and honestly, other than Bruce HAS to go, I don’t envy their position. I think any half competent manager, be it Gerrard or Howe or higher up the scale in Emery, with good backing in January, keeps us up easily. The difficultly is we are in between a rock and a stone, short-term vs long-term. The longer Bruce stays and the damage him remaining causes, however, puts is in an even worse position. We cannot afford to lose against Palace which is a must win game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) I'd take Howe, like. He'd be an incredible upgrade on what we've got at the minute and I think he'd surprise a few people. He'd have us safe but would be disposable should they want to appoint their long-term candidate in the summer.

Guest HTT II Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Howe would sort out our attacking side more than the defence, but with structure and a system which ideally you’d hope would ease pressure on the defence so that side would improve too. I rate him and he’d be a good appointment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 What's Howe done to get this credit? His team was regularly getting smashed in the Prem, if you think we can't defend now, I'd imagine you haven't seen Bournemouth play last few years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Why are we even talking about Howe if he doesn't want to move from the south coast? He's not exactly Simeone, if he's not sure, then fuck him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_F Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Would be slightly underwhelmed with Howe but obviously he'd be a massive improvement on Bruce. If we can't get any of our main targets at the minute let's get it done man asap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcnick Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Some people on here already have delusions of grandeur, we are basically starting from the very bottom, we’re in the middle of a relegation battle with a poor squad. The best we could possibly do at the minute is someone like Howe.

Dokko Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Much rather Gerrard over Howe. Howe has shown nothing. Think people underestimate Gerrards achievement in getting rangers competitive again. Howe just spent loads of money and when things took a dip for the 1st time relegated a team which was all his doing. No chance he keeps this lot up, not with his wife whinging on either from the south coast or her rented house up here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Howe's far from the worst option. We're a couple years off appointing a massive name, and it'd likely end in tears if we appointed one now anyway. I'd happily take him on 18 month deal or something to come in and steady the ship. Get us to a place where we can then think about top managers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So has Dyche for Burnley, and Nigel Adkins for Southampton, what's your point? I wouldn't want any of those 3 near this club.
