HaydnNUFC Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Howe is a young, progressive coach lightyears from the PFMness of Pardew. Would be far from a disastrous appointment but not the best one we could make. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howe, Potter and maybe even Parker are far from Pardew, Wilder, maybe even Hughton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfmk2 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 PFM? I keep see it coming up in the thread. I know it's a reference to British dinosaur managers, but can't work out what PFM actually stands for! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was commuting between the two places and couldn't cope with the mental torment without his family around him.

You cant truly judge Howe, Potter and Parker vs the Pardew we now know and love now. They are all at different stages in their career. I think Parker has a long way to go. Howe did a great job at Bournemouth for a number of years but then was relegated. Parker has had a promotion and a relegation but hasnt achieved what Howe has. Potter so far seems to be showing he can do more than just keep a small club up, but again early days. Personally if we go english we should gamble and go for Potter in my opinion. Id prefer someone non British if only because of the media. Sad to say this as my happiest times were with Keegan and Robson as manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Anyone know why Howe deliberated for months over the Celtic job when all agreed for him to ultimately turn it down at the 11th hour? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic are terrible and need a full on rebuild with no money while rangers are doing okay and on the up. It was a bad job. But equally I don’t really rate Howe so at least he had the foresight not to take on the job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My suspicion was he needed to convince his family to move North and couldn’t in the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Pardew Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Howe is NOT the solution. People always go on about what a great job he did at Bournemouth, but they never mention the absolute truckloads of money he spent to get where they got. £180m! And it all went tits up at the end. Don't want him here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 My reflex was Emery and I don't know why. Fonseca is the sexier option. Rafa is tugging at the heart strings. But hey ho. I'll stick with my gut. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 It seems people have really bought into the Fonseca hype. I'll confess to knowing very little about him. I've watched a couple of breakdowns about his tactics and while they were on the whole positive, there are questions about his sides defensive records and off ball tactics. I'd certainly get behind him, but I feel like him, Howe and to a larger extent Martinez have similar weaknesses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
