Isn't this all just coming from Balague, who is notoriously inaccurate and the bits regarding doubts about the vision and Howe are clearly just speculation about what he thinks the issue might be?

 

It doesn't add up at all. Ballache is getting bites because A) We have some right melts on Twitter, which is a cesspool of perpetual negativity B) Everyone is looking for a slice of the attention and this cunt is no different to vino lips Edwards.

 

I think it's happening until there's a hard "no thanks"  and we have someone else in the dugout. I'll go with @Ando7 and Trust The Process™.

If you stay at a club like Bournemouth too long, with inferior investment and ambition to surrounding clubs, things will eventually go sour (and stale) no matter what the manager does. Would be hesitant to judge Howe on his final season.

£300m is inferior investment? They showed more ambition than half the league and backed him at every opportunity.

Graeme Jones' job as a dealbreaker, man.

 

I'd peddle the cunt today if Emery insists on it.

Well exactly. If a manager can’t even choose his own back room staff then what’s the fucking point?

I’m not buying in to all this attacking football he supposedly played either l. Similar to Martinez who is credited with attacking football. Can’t say I ever watched Bournemouth and thought what brilliant attacking football they play

All the money in the world and after 4 weeks this is your best effort. Christ. Utterly underwhelming appointment. One for the brexiteers.

 

Bore off, wrong forum for that shit.

All the money in the world couldn't get me to jump into a viper pit given our current squad and position. I actually understand elite managers balking at the idea, especially if January turns out to be lean.

 

Howe is definitely not as good as Fonseca, Emery, etc, but still miles above the likes of Lampard and Martinez and would be enough to see us through the season. We'll see in the summer how attractive a project it is with guaranteed survival and time to plan.

Thank god that story will be shit. The thought of Howe and Jones blasting us to the oblivion of shitness is too harrowing to comprehend.

We're after a European standard manager, at least, for very potentially Championship team. This isn't an easy sell at this stage. If it was end of the season and we'd stayed up by the skin of our teeth but were getting a new man in to build and start a new season, I doubt it'd be this difficult. But we're asking top rated managers to take a couple of weeks to decide to uproot from where they live, abandon a project they're doing well in (otherwise we wouldn't be after them), be confident in a plan with to execute in 2 months, with all the difficulties that surrounds that and negotiations with whoever and get an awful team winning games. With awful facilities and no backbone of staff ready to work with. 

 

I think a lot of people who havent paid as much attention to NUFC over the years due to our awful owner don't seem aware of the scale of the task at hand here. And how it can very easily be turned down by whoever we might fancy because they're already in a very cushy place. Id be disappointed with Howe given the excitement and dreams of what we could possibly achieve, but at the same time, we're not too big for Eddie Howe right now. Far from it. All thee managers we'd be excited about are well out of our league. We've only got rich owners. We're not a rich club yet. We're awful. Everywhere. How do you convince Emery or the likes to come and train our players on our training ground all with such uncertainty. I'm not saying it's impossible to do so, but all these people bemoaning the new owners saying they should have had all this sorted are completely fanciful imo. It's the awful online football crack you get on Twitter. No clue. This is all going to be very difficult.

 

Dont want Howe. Dont want Lampard. Dont want Gerrard. :lol: I mean I dont really either, but as NUFC fans if we're going in to all of this with that level of entitlement we're fucking idiots. 4 weeks to completely transform a multi million pound organisation, man. Unreal. :lol:
