Eddie Howe

Obviously, I’d be delighted with one of Rangnick, Monchi or Campos as our Sporting Director (Rangnick being the dream one).

 

If we’re allowed to keep dreaming, then Conte would be my main choice for the manager role. 
 

Also, if I could be cheeky, I’d also want that Director of Science/fitness Dr. from Bayern to pump our players full of roids.

I do think the speed of things over last couple of days has took them by surprise.

Agreed with this, however I also think they definitely would have had targets in mind as well.

[toon25]

Imagine Hendrick, Joelinton, Krapth and Dwight fucking Gayle playing for Antonio Conte, man.

[Dr Jinx]

Conte, premier league experience? Check, a natural winner? Yes. His English is limited but enough to convey a message across.

 

I’m not sure if he’s a long term appointment but he would steer the ship in the right direction which is what we need.

 

At the end of the day, this squad is in real danger of taking us down and there needs to be a serious patch up job between now and January when we can bring in a few reinforcements. We have some good players but it’s so disjointed, we need someone who can identify exactly the type of player who will make our existing ones perform better.

[Guest reefatoon]

Also think Conte would love the adulation. The same way Rafa fell in love with it.

[jackyboy]

Shelvey will love Contes tough training sessions

[nufcjb]

I really can't imagine us appointing someone just to make the team stable again and then appoint another manager to start looking further forward. That's just wrong.

 

This first appointment will have to work with the like of Krafth or Henddrick or the Longstaffs. But he'd also have the oppotunity to add to that in January and then summer. A manager like Conte can lift and get the best of players mentioned and then we'll build from there.

[Billy Pilgrim]

Conte feels like a moon shot but if you’re stavely and co today, and you know he’s gettable, do what it takes I think. Conte could conceivably take us every step of the journey. They have it within their gift to furnish him with what he needs to get there. He gets to do something he’s never done and build a shit team into dominators. He has clout with the class of player we need. 

[Skeletor]

Not to be one of those people turning their noses up at Howe, but we just became the richest club in the world after all. Our ambitions are no longer "yeah, he's better than Bruce".

[Ikon]

Next manager will decide what kind of players we'll be able to attract. Hypothetically say we get someone like Conte. It would be a statement of intent and definitely would improve our chances of getting high profile players, massively. Compared to someone like, say Potter. There are many managers that I'd be happy with and back. Question is, how quickly does the new owners want us to become better. It will take patience and time, mistakes will be done as it's possible to get every decision right. As said before, we can't rush hour decisions either as getting it right is obviously the most important thing. No matter what happens it'll be very interesting to follow. Quite the contrast compared to before. We need to be patient too, even though its very easy to drift away

[BigValley]

If we climb 4 places every year the first couple of years and then use 1 to 3 years on the top 4 i would be happy. I am happy what ever happens anyway. 

[HaydnNUFC]

Conte yes fucking please. Give him whatever the fuck he wants.

I’m not sure I fully believe the we will build slowly narrative, I just don’t see the Saudis wanting anything other than to be the biggest and best we can as soon as possible.

[Dokko]

Conte would want control on transfers and a constant flow of players coming in as the club grows. That shouldn't be a problem, in fact it would be encouraged. He gets to build a club up whilst making a fortune, its just whether he wants to start again so low or take a safer job in a years time where half the house is already sorted.

[nbthree3]

Remember the consortium are very eager not to overpromise, it's better to urge caution and re-evaluate than overpromise and not deliver like Ashley did 

[54]

 

[Ikon]

Aurelien Tchouameni is a player he likes. I'd be ok with this. 

 

Seriously though, much rather have Conte for some reason. Feels more proven no matter how odd this may sound.

Where's the Zidane article, I can't find it on the Mirror. There was one last night mentioning him but that said "Zinedine Zidane’s name has also been mentioned as a possibility but there appears to be little appetite either to appoint the former Real Madrid chief to the up-coming vacancy."

We will be linked with every manager and player around. There's gonna be sooo much lazy journalism

Indeed. Hell, I'll be thrilled if "we tried" now means that we actually did!

[OpenC]

Conte or Zidane working with Joelinton and Hendrick and Dummett man  what the fuck is going on  it's all too much

Conte is a no brainer if he's open to it. Personality fits the club, proven winner both in the PL and abroad and has the pull in the game to attract top players. Give him what he wants.

I just can’t see Conte coming in at this very moment when we’re in the bottom three and haven’t won a game - no matter how rich we are and where our future direction takes us

I'm still at the stage where every decent player and manager in the world says, 'who? Newcastle? Err, no'

 

I still can't imagine a different world no matter how much money is waved

Aye, it'll take some getting used to and can't see it from the off. If it is and we bring in Conte from the start then they aren't going to be happy until we're the best in the world. Now that would certainly take some getting used to.
