Out of interest, if it is Howe, would people rather we'd have gone for Howe from day one or waited for three weeks because we thought we had a chance of landing Emery?

I don’t see how it has taken 3 weeks to know emery doesn’t want it tbh

[Shearergol]

Shouldn’t every manager getting interviewed for a top job have a detailed plan of what they’d do? Isn’t that how it works?

strange question. If it’s to be Howe it’s obviously more advantageous to have him in sooner.

 

Surely not, if they thought they had a shot at getting a higher calibre manager?

oh, you’re not asking in hindsight? I’d say if we have a chance of getting Pep in 3 weeks we should wait for that.

From Emery to Howe. They don’t have a clue. I don’t even think there’s any real reason to think howe would be a ‘solid’ appointment. He’s only really managed well at Bournemouth and that ended in relegation 

 

 

 

 

What he did at Bournemouth was an achievement, whatever way people want to spin it.

[Elliottman]

Enjoyed this ?? whatever happens, going from Bruce to even Howe would be a massive fucking upgrade, at least the bloke seems to have plans and ideas and how to change against opposition.

i think there's gonna be some attempt at face-saving from the club now.

we'll get more leaks about how great his interview was and how some board members preferred him as first choice

[Guest reefatoon]

Can’t wait for us to bring him in so I can boo him, and call him some kind of vegetable head.

Literally that telegraph article said this

That's what I mesn though. With hindsight you'd obviously say Howe, but at the time they may have thought they could land a Ten Hag or an Emery.

[Shearergol]

It’s a massive shame that Jones didn’t pass the “are you better than Bruce” test.

I think he did want it until we applied too much pressure on him to give an immediate answer, from what I understand?

 

We basically got too needy and desperate and pushed him away.

[Izakaya]

3 week, 2 defeats and a draw just to end up with Eddie Howe, who we could have easily got the day the takeover was announced. 

 

These cunts really look like a gaggle of fuckwits here.

again, my only issue is the media coverage yesterday. I have no issues with the timescales of getting a new manager in place. If we could get Rafa in December I’d wait rather than bringing Howe in, but that’s unlikely isn’t it.

 

bring Howe in, if he’s rubbish just sack him. Easy.

Howe wouldn't have came here under Ashley in a million years.

Howe wouldn't be nowhere near my first choice and his reign at Bournemouth didn't end the best but I feel he has potential as a manager and would do better than people think.

I think it was great we went for Emery but I'm not surprised he turned it down considering where we currently are in the league and his current team are in the Champions League.

Hopefully if Howe does come in, we can get a good DOF in to make the signings (Howe's weak point) and get a good defensive coach in too.

 

I think he probably would. He wasn't exactly inundated with better offers.

You are right but do you reckon Btuce is capable of putting a presentation/plan together?

 

 

[Wolfcastle]

Emerys quotes about not liking the pressure and liking the easy life in Villareal means he was wrong for us anyway and sound not be mourned in the slightest. If that's his attitude it was a poor choice on our part.

I think we can move on from the days of managers with no plans. That’s my point. Surely everyone we interview will do the same?

I didn’t say it wasn’t. I said he managed well.

Good and solid? Then why hasn't he been considered for other sides like Palace, Watford, Everton, Wolves etc. 

 

Just reeks of scraping the barrel of managers that are better than Bruce, so hopefully can keep us up. Massive job for him, very different to the Bournemouth challenge which eventually he oversaw his own demise.

 

I probably would be happy if in an alternative universe where we weren't taken over if Ashley just sacked Bruce and brought in Howe. It's just in this one where we have it seems a huge climb down to Howe.

 

I can't get behind good and solid describing Howe, but more than happy for him to prove me wrong. Times running out so I'll get behind Howe as experienced bur with risk.

 

I felt whoever we got they needed November and December to sort out squad and prepare for what they want to change in January.

For all we know he hasn’t been applying for those jobs. 

[GWN]

Eddie Howe now on the drift in the betting , I called it through the night on Emery not coming.

 

Howes not coming either , out to 5/4 

 

where’s Jk

As I have said a few times, I personally think Howe would be a good and solid appointment, he plays a decent brand of football, comes across really well, clearly wants the job, and has a decent acumen in the job he did with Bournemouth, which people seem to weirdly sleep on. I've always thought he would be a decent fit here under the right owners, even when he was still at Bournemouth. I also believe he is a coach that could evolve and progress with the club as we hopefully go up the league. I can understand the disappointment of Emery not coming here, he is a top class Champions League manager, but realistically, we're 19th in the Premier League 6 points adrift of safety, there needs to be a bit of a rain check of what we can currently do. Is Howe the most attractive name in the world, probably not, does that make him a bad appointment, not in the slightest. 

 

Also, the club have clearly taken there time to interview a lot of different managers to make sure they have the right fit in place, and if Howe was the one to be at the top of that list, then he clearly has something about him, and that itself should put a few peoples mind at ease.

I would hope its the minimum but with Charnley supposedly leading interviews/negotiations I'm not so sure
