I would be tempted to turn the job down if I was Howe now. 

It's amazing how everyone thinks it's a certainty. Been said before he's not keen working up north and relocating his family. Add into all this showing he is sloppy 2nds...

It's done. SSN

 

I'm in the minority with Howe. As a stop gap to the end of the season he will he will be OK imo. Knows the league and some of the players and has used the time off to better himsef. It's quite the come down unfortunately and a kick in the gut for all but Howe, that is presuming he doesn't  turn us down

Weird how people are drawing conclusions like that from Football Insider, right?

 

Maybe, but if Jones and the two Steves are still in place in January I'll have serious reservations about the ambition of the club.

As far a saturday goes, i just want whoevers in charge of picking the team to pick the best 11 players available, and last weekend, there were (arguably) better players sat on the bench, or not even in the matchday squad. And if he can play them in their right/preferred positions, that would also help.

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. 


It’s a real shame we’re going down, if the situation wasn’t so dire the stakes would be a lot lower. Hire whoever, take time to get the club reorganised, get a world class manager a bit later.

Aye, that's shit.  

 

Worry creeps in a bit now as it seems this was their number 1 and they tried hard for him and failed, Eddie Howe isn't what I want/expected but if that's who it is, we can just move on for now.  I think Howe is the plan B and will be more of a stop gap until we can entice a higher calibre manager.

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.

People really need to understand just how bad a state the club is in. 

 

It's like an oil tanker we're trying to turn around here. We're not even starting from a standing start, we're still in the car driving to the warm up before the race. It'll take a long time to sort out the mess Ashley has left.

If the stories hadn't come out yesterday about Emery this wouldn't be as big an issue though.

I’m not so sure Emery would have taken it anyway in the end. Would always be hard to leave a CL club for a relegation fight.

Eddie fucking Howe man. I'm gutted. What a disappointment, all the promise and riches and positivity of the new regime, all the exciting names mentioned, and after spending weeks on "the process" they're going for the lemon barley water of football managers.

 

Can't be arsed me, might go back to not caring :lol: feels easier

I was referencing that last 24 hours it can’t be described as anything else 

 

:lol: You have no idea what's gone on. All you've done (as we all have) is read differing reports about different things from different people. All in 24 hours. You have no information what so ever.

and that means fucking Jones stays. Great - so look forward to Richie and Fraser down the left wing whilst all the other teams attackers are scoring against us

 

I bet Howe would love Shelvey

This really isn't a good start for the new consurtium. If we end up with Howe three weeks after sacking Bruce, 'the process' really hasn't been working. 

 

I don't think there's any reason to question the gap, despite losing out on Emery. Just because Howe was available on day one doesn't mean they'd identified him as their preferred (second) choice then.

While it's disappointing, my way of dealing with whoever comes in is that they are an improvement on Bruce.
For this year, all we need is for someone to get a little bit of a tune out of the players, get us to at least 17th, then we can kick on next season.

If it's Howe then from 4 weeks ago, that's an upgrade.


Fuck Emery. His loss.
