Not sure what the problem is with the Jones and Ritchie part is?

The article worded it as if it was a key part of the job to be able to work with Ritchie

One of my main concerns with Howe is the transfer market, has he got a history of signing good players? Looking at the tactics video above some of the players in the team looked very uninspiring..

They’re both shit and should be out the door asap, that’s the problem. 

[SUPERTOON]

My main issue with this appointment is that where it the summer and he was given this squad I think he is more than capable of keeping it up. However I’m not sure that he’s the man to come in now in our current position and first claw back the 6 points and then keep us up from there.

Just get Howe in. Levels above anyone we've had recently and with financial backing and support from a sporting director he should be able to progress us while PIF re-build the clubs infrastructure. Its a risk but one worth taking imo. 

 

Or to put another way: if a few months ago we were offered a PIF takeover and Eddie Howe has manager, everyone would have taken it. Bigger picture.

It is sometimes a good thing for a manager to have some time out as Howe has done. It gives them time to recharge the batteries, use the time to evaluate what went on before and perhaps see ways of doing things differently to improve their skills. He did more good things than bad during his time with Bournemouth that's for sure

[Kid Icarus]

Just putting it out there now that I'd prefer Allardyce or Hodgson in the short term than us going anywhere near Martinez. Will be really surprised if Howe takes the job now.

Fair...

Howe is an intersting choice.

 

He clearly had problems in his last season in Bournemouth but as said above, he had took the club as far as he could.

 

How many times have we seen a manager reshape an entire playing squad in order to push on, Ferguson did it at Man Utd, Wenger at Arsenal, any more? Its an incredibly difficult thing to do.

 

Obviously Fergy and Wenger were top managers and maybe Howe could have if he'd had similar resources. Or maybe he just wasnt good enough. Time will tell if he comes here.

Howe being 2nd choice and seen as ‘less exciting’, may well work in his favour if he is appointed, in terms of lower expectations and a bit less pressure. 
 

With time strumming short, I’d get him in now and offer a big bonus for keeping us up and every league position gained. 

& more likely for those in the crowd to turn against him quicker as well.

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.

I think after having their fingers burnt by playing the Emery appointment out in public, I wouldn't be surprised if Howe was appointed out of the blue and takes training today.

That makes sense as theres nowt we can do about Rithie or Fraser until Jan at the earliest.

Not playing them, or listening to Jones' ideas on tactics and starting eleven would be a good start like.

Didn't he get a tune out of Fraser as well?

[Dr.Spaceman]

I just hope he reads the room during his first few pressers. None of this "It's a tough league" crap and he's off to a better start than 7 out of the last 9 managers.

Until he refused to play for him which contributed to their relegation.

They should be nowhere near this club. Ritchie must be responsible for at least 6 goals we've conceded so far and it's November.

 

This appointment has relegation written all over it. I hope I'm wrong.

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.

[NE27]

Hope everyone is bracing themselves for the second public rejection today.

 

Press will be like a dog with two dicks.

[STM]

They had already said Jones was staying, regardless of which manager comes in, so yes it's important that a new manager can get on with him. BTW, just because Jones isn't a good manager doesn't mean he's not a good coach or have a value to the club.

As long as Ritchie isn't playing LWB and is in more of an attacking role I don't think he'll be anywhere near as much of a liability.

Heard promising things about this Steve Bruce guy. Local lad, a nice man, over 1000 games managed...
