Awful management of the situation.

 

If they were going to go for Howe they could have had him in for Spurs (H).

 

We've got to "trust the process".

 

As you say, to spend over 3 weeks doing due diligence only to land on Howe isn't overly inspiring.

 

That said, if it's him then we need to back him.

I did think the position we are in on and off the park suggested that a short term appointment was likely rather than one of the big names. We need to start work on the training ground and infrastructure ASAP.

 

At least if it is Howe he's an experienced PL boss. Also if the worst was to happen he'd also be experienced at Championship level.

 

The worry for me is who we are able to bring in, in January. Sparkling names don't seem likely.

I'd be happy with Howe. A step down from Emery, but a solid appointment.

 

He's very marmite amongst English fans mind.

 

Like most English managers..if Potter goes on a losing streak he'll suddenly not be good enough.

I wanted Howe as manager when Bruce/Ashley were here as I believed with our squad of players his style could keep us up. 
 

I should still really have the same perspective but going from “Emery will take training on Thursday” to maybe Eddie Howe seems like a kick in the balls. 

 

Totally agree - I said something similar a few pages back. We could have got Howe under Ashley and maybe would have if Bruce kept being shit later in this season and the sale never happened, so it feels weird that's the best we can do post-Ashley with these new owners is Howe.

It's definitely frustrating and a bit worrying. 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.

Suppose we just need to trust that we'll have the right footballing people in place to steer us back to the Premiership once we've been relegated. 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.

Oh well, Emery would have been fantastic. On a more realistic level, have to take baby steps for now and ensure NUFC stays in the PL and gradually becomes more attractive to top managers and players.

 

Kinda sucks that it potentially fell through cos of amateur stuff like leaks though.
