Menace Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I'm glad some of you lot aren't in charge of the recruitment drive. Remi Garde, Hughton, Allardyce. Fuck me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Villas Boas. Fonseca. Rafa. Still options out there and tbh I'd have had them all over Emery. Rafa is still possible imo, the longer it ticks on for both clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Dug out Neil's latest thoughts on Martinez (from 2016): "Martinez is asking us to play in a way certain players are not comfortable with. Individual mistakes plus a lack of protection means our defending is regularly appalling, it surely has to be the worst in the league when you look at how easy it is to score against us. Immensely frustrating when you consider the attacking talent we have. If things don't pick up sharp-ish or we win the League Cup, I can see Martinez getting binned off, because it's clear most of our errors come from not clearing our lines and trying to overplay - and that comes from the manager. He hasn't found the balance." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wandy Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 18 minutes ago, The Prophet said: I don't think Howe would have touched us under Ashley like. He's far superior to any if the cloggers we'd have previously looked at. Yep, people are kidding themselves if they think Howe would have come here under Ashley. I don't think he will come now either after what has happened over the last 4 weeks. No manager with integrity & who rates themselves will put up with being seen as such a short term appointment. We are in a real mess and Martinez looks the most likey candidate. Personally I would honestly give it to Keegan now for this season. He still will have enough in his locker to get this lot safe with 6 months to go and money to spend in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Nice of the new regime to ease us into this “not having to be miserable all the time because you support a well-run football club” thing as opposed to springing it on us all at once. I don’t think my rapidly aging heart would have survived that abrupt of a change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Ashley really wanted to go for him he could have got him. The issue is that it's not the coach we want under these owners, we want one who has ambitions way beyond Howe, and talent to take us there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Pilgrim Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 It’s not getting behind Howe at the start that I’m worried about, it’s what happens when he goes 5 games without winning and we’re trying to get loans over the line in January. I should stop doomposting as I’m only winding myself up but I see the future with fiery clarity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Howe's name was thrown about under Ashley but I'd have been surprised if he came while we were Ashley's basket case, his next move is a very big one and how he does will determine if he's seen as a top 8 PL manager or PL-struggler/Championship manager.

If we replaced Bruce within days and Howe took Spurs I'd have been fine with that, swept away with momentum. Now insipid is the word. Right across the board - club, owners, manager, players, project, fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
