I'd imagine both Fonseca and Favre or anyone with a shred of self respect will tell us to do one. We would end up with someone like wilder.

 

At this point I would actually take someone like Wilder. We just need someone to keep us up.

Think its telling that its been nearly an hour since that Mirror article and no one else has reported anything. 

 

Also, the way this tweet is worded makes it sounds like the article is meer speculation:

 

 

[The Prophet]

Howe has signed subject to us agreeing deals with his backroom staff, for whatever reason that us taking longer than planned.

We don't know anything about the finer details of the deal being negotiated. It's easy for us to look at the Emery situation and now this potential issue with the Howe deal and draw ill-informed and worrisome conclusions; but what is being requested/demanded from them may be wholly unreasonable and not conducive to other plans and deals also being worked on by Staveley and her team. Perhaps other roles and positions are already lined up to filled and the demands of the prospective managers aren't compatible with them.

Anything could be the case, or the recent speculation may be complete lacking any substance and all may be well with this particular target. Patience. What will be will be.

The other 19 are probably dropping some hints that any manager who signs with us will never be appointed elsewhere in the PL 

[TheHoob]

It's an absolutely nothing piece like. Not saying I'm not worried but it doesn't look like there is much in it, see what Hope/Caulkin et al say next before I go into meltdown

What about the back room staff is it?

Howe wants some and the board didn't realise, they thought he'd be OK on his own so they didn't ask in the intensive, multi-faceted interview process

Aye that’s my thoughts too.

 

Got to wonder if announcing the deal before kick off only to deflate everyone when we get stuffed is a good idea, too.

[Robster]

"It's not been formally confirmed yet, how can we get thousands of clicks from desperate Geordies"

[toontownman]

To be fair there has been a lot of banter regarding bringing Bournemouth to Matt Ritchie. One of his staff just wants the same..literally though.

[Guest]

We’re told to trust the process and that it is taking a long time because they are doing due diligence, but if they are doing it so well why are issues coming out the woodwork at the last minute. Not good enough.

[Wandy]

I feel a bit sorry for the consortium here. They know that the lack of communication from the club under Ashley was non-existent so they want to keep fans in the loop and are clearly desperate to give them some hope ASAP. But it looks like they are being a little bit naive in jumping the gun with media leaks when things are not properly sorted. This is all part of the enormous learning curve they are on.

Yeah that's what it has been reported and so Howe must be happy with who is actually coming in.

 

Question is, what on earth are his staff asking for?! Hope they're not trying to take the piss because the new owners are 'the richest in football'.

 

My goodness, this is something else.

[TheHoob]

Is Lewis a known shitster? Always speaks well whenever I've heard him on the radio, shame if he's a bullshit merchant. 

[SUPERTOON]

It would make perfect sense to announce it before kick off. God help us if it has collapsed and it gets confirmed before kick off.

Fact this guy says there is nothing to worry about it telling like  

[Away Toon]

Villarreal manager Unai Emery, 50, turned down a move to Newcastle because the club wanted a clause in his contract which would allow them to sack him if the Magpies are relegated at the end of the season. (Daily Mirror)

 

If the Howe deal does collapse the club should come out and explain why. If people are being unreasonable in their demands name and shame them.

Fwiw for all we know the deal is done and they are waiting to announce it. If it's fallen through again though aye, it's really a bit of a farce. 

[Guest]

My money still on Richard Hughes being the issue as he was at Celtic

[Ameritoon]

Surely Howe wouldn't let a second job slip away because of his backroom staff?

[Anderson]

What a shit show. Fold the club if this falls through.  

[Danh1]

 

[Miggys First Goal]

IF it falls through, they just need to say Jones is manager until further notice and then sort out the corporate structure. Get the DoF/SD in place, get someone in place who can ultimately sign off on everything, and take it from there. 

[St1pe]

I’m guessing there’s an issue but not as serious as the Mirror is making out then? 
 

Wonder if it’s one of these coaches that leaked the story to the mirror
