I'm baffled by Jones like, he hasn't even tried to put his own spin on things. You'd think he'd at least want to show that he has something about him.

In the words of Craig Bellamy after Norwich is 2004, we were “so open” under Bruce - every time Tottenham went forward against us they looked like scoring, there was no organisation, we were all over the place. Jones clearly tried to shore things up and against Chelsea they couldn’t create anything 60mins or so in. It didn’t work in the end and he’s not a manager, but been a bit baffled at the commmets that is more of the same Bruceball.

I hope I'm dead wrong. But my gut is telling me that Howe will be a mediocrity

Mediocrity is fine if it brings survival this season. Its wishful thinking to think any manager who takes us over now is going to be the one to lead us to the CL

If Howe finishes 17th this season and comfortably avoids for relegation battle next, we're making progress.


I don’t think we have anything to worry about once we stay up, the journey begins. 
 

If fucking Brucey had managed even one win :lol:

Give him an 18 month contract. Keep us up, stabilise us for next season while keeping us out of a relegation battle, playing attacking football, there's a good base for the next guy and Howe's stock is higher than before. Everyone's a winner.

 

Few other good videos.

'Reportedly interviewed via Zoom last week, further talks with him are expected - although unlike Emery, it's unclear whether Howe is backed by all of the owners.'

 

Noticed this on .com

 

I certainly hope that our complex new owner set up, doesn't result in conflict with other big decisions, further down the line. Early days of course and only time will tell.

Bruce got this squad to 12th.. howe will keep us up and with ease IMO of course.

Via a record breaking run of goal scoring form from Willock who looks far from replicating that feat. Without him we’d have sunk like a stone. Howe has got his work cut out imo to get form back for more than a few of our players.

Day 2 after the FARCE.   I've calmed down a bit from yesterday and so if they appoint Howe, he will have my support but I will have my reservations also.   If the appointment works in that we dont get relegated then I will hold my hand up and congratulate him.   I also hope it then gives the consortium time to get the top level team in place.  As if we are in the PL next year, we need to hit the ground running with recruiting earlier, a good pre season plan and then start the assault on a top 10 place!

I'm definitely warming to Howe but the two things that worry me are if he decides to keep playing Ritchie due him playing for him before and also that the club seem to be insisting on keeping Jones around.

Jones May also have one of those ridiculous release/ termination clauses inserted by Ashley

The caulkin article says he impressed them with his idea of who to target in the January window and how he could work with Jones. And they where also impressed because he has worked with Wilson, Ritchie and Fraser before.

 

Urgh. Just bin him man.

That’s from Caulkin although they have changes the wording.  Basically some of the board preferred Emery to Howe

Yeah I've been wondering if Jones is on a different deal to the Steve's and its going to cost them too much to axe him. If the cost of axing him outweighs the benefits of getting rid of him then it makes sense.

 

Also, whether we rate him or not is irrelevant. He's clearly highly rated amongst the coaching circles.
