I think he’s here for a good 3 years if he doesn’t relegate us this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bonk Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Just now, ManDoon said: I mean we got Rafa under Ashley, Vieira was interested, Arteta, and quite a few other decent managers. I think people overestimate how much managers care about that stuff. Enough money and a decent contract and they are not arsed. We are literally the richest club on the planet as we speak, who wouldn't want that? Managers very rarely lose out on future jobs by being bad at one job. See Bruce, Steve or any others Sure, if you want to manage in Dubai or China. Rafa came to us, which is why we love him so much. Bruce was our what, 11th pick? haha I'm with you though, I still think we could improve on Howe or Emery is trying to save face, get more assurance of the vision for the club. Conte knocked back Spurs 6 months ago, so convincing Emery to join taking a bit longer is fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't got a structure in place that is fit for purpose for a Premier League club. I wouldn't expect a manager with the CV of Emery to sign a contract with NUFC without knowing exactly what the plans are. He could sign a contract today thinking that he's got the final say on transfers for example and we then hire a DOF/SD in two weeks time who's the opposite of Emery. We'll have a nice little KK/Wise/Jimenez situation on our hands again. Except that it would be played out in public, live on Twitter and streamed on Prime. We NEED to get the structure in place or at least an idea of what it'll look like before any elite-ish manager will sign. It will only end in tears otherwise. We haven't allowed cameras in behind the scenes yet have we??? Is that the source of the leak? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElDiablo Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 (edited) Chance that Howe actually gets more out of our squad immediately than an Emery type who is very system focused?

TK-421 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Would I prefer a better manager potentially coming in, of course, but even with the potential money, I think attracting a top level manager, or even the next level may have been difficult given our current position. Could the consortium have done better? maybe, but even at almost a month on, they will still be learning and trying to put everything in place, so I'm still prepared to cut them some slack. As for Eddie Howe, I think he probably fits the bill for the right kind of manager to come in at this stage for where we are, who will hopefully keep us up this season, and if kept on, steady things next year (i.e. not be in another relegation battle) and then step aside when we're in a better position to attract the manager to take us to the next level. All that said, I agree with a comment a page or two back. We didn't worry about someone to steady things or with "relegation battle experience" when we appointed KK and Sir Bobby respectively.

Stottie Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I doubt it'll be Howe but if it is, its all the all the fault of the Cabbageheed for putting us in this any-port-in-a-storm situation. We cannot allow Jones to remain in charge for any remotely winnable game because we have already pissed away lots of chances for points. We need to make changes pronto to ensure we stay in the league. If they get any flak, the new owners just have to blame Bruce for being 19th after spending 100M plus.

To be fair, when Leicester appointed Brendan Rodgers I wouldn't have really wanted him at the time - would be meh like Howe now. Didn't rate him too much, but fuck, he's proven he's definitely got it and I was wrong. Maybe Howe can do the same on the right stage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaqen Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 It's going to be proper annoying if we lose Emery to Howe, all because we leaked Howe was the other candidate like I think of they announced Howe a few weeks ago alot more people would have been on board with it.
