Chicken Dancer Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Howe is definitely meh but much less meh than Bruce so I'm in. In all seriousness, not the bloke to sort out the defensive issues but could give us a bump for a few games. Brentford, Norwich and Burnley back to back home games in Nov/early Dec. 7 points needed as a minimum in them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I have no problem with Howe presuming he's happy to be here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming his wife will stay behind with Kaka looking on approvingly. Could work out for both parties if he's on a short term contract for the season to see if it works and he settles.

Klaus Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) All we need is someone to keep us up this season, Howe could be ideal. Don't think too much about the longer term project. The bigger more household name managers will come, when we are established at this level. Edited October 19, 2021 by Klaus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reality is that it would be a huge upgrade on our current predicament. Slight worry that if this is true, it's a bit of a rush job and more of a move to stay up with a premier league experienced manager, rather than really go for the best man we can get. Thing about Howe is he could easily go on to be another Brendan Rodgers type as he does have that kind of talent about him I believe, and so maybe he does come in and really excels and grows into the role. I'd be cool with it ultimately. Except for the wife bit. Edited October 19, 2021 by KaKa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely. Would be a great opportunity for him to get on board with a big club, something which has eluded him to now. But yeah get a good DoF in place as well, we need to make sure the signings are better than what happened at Bournemouth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Howe's obviously been pretty careful to wait for a good opportunity, must rate himself to do something good. Even if he has to hand over to a world class manager in a year or two, he could really give his career a boost if he does a good job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 His Bournemouth teams defensive record was atrocious and he flopped at Burnley, yeah he would be an improvement on Bruce but I don’t think he is the answer at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collage Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) Has he worked with Jones? Edited October 19, 2021 by Collage Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 If we get someone in and they keep us up that's enough at this point, with suitable progressive additions in January. We've got rid of the source of the rot but left a malignant cyst in place. The refit starts in earnest next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 See a lot of comments saying has jones worked with such and such names before. Are people wanting him kept on ? I want them all out personally and get a completely fresh start Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's certainly an element of risk, but with Howe I get the impression he is someone that is constantly learning and trying to improve, and so the time off would hopefully have served him well in that regard. I wonder if the fact he has some familiarity with Wilson and Fraser would have been a part of all this, if it is indeed true of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Maximin Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I do like Howe but I just can’t look past how bad they are in his last season, especially given how we destroyed them at their place… under Steve Bruce. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Howe as well, him and Potter are easily the two most progressive English coaches, but he's pretty far down my list tbh. Unai Emery seemed like a safer pair of hands, but would get behind Howe if the club feels he has more to show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Think he’d be a ‘solid pair of hands’, to use a very pfm turn of phrase. May not be the most inspiring or big statement selection but at least he has a grasp of tactics and knows how he wants his teams to play; a rarity among English dinosaur managers on the employment carousel. Won’t be jumping for joy but, Christ, the thought of Lamps or Wazza taking control (or god forbid Bruce staying on) is the stuff of nightmares. Decent appointment if true.

Ikon Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Has Howe somehow become a much better manager since he got unemployed? Would I rather havhim than Bruce, Yes of course! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) You’d hope that he’d learn from his experience at Bournemouth as well, he won’t necessarily always take the same approach. Admittedly we don’t know. He did great at Bournemouth for quite a long time, most jobs at that level eventually become too difficult.
