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...

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...

et tu brute Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Personally I think Howe would be an absolute disaster of an appointment. 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.

Kid Icarus Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Imagine that lad on here's reaction if it ends up being Howe. I don't mind Howe in an attack mitigating for lack of any decent defence sort of way, but for that reason he wouldn't be the right choice I don't think.

Jordan Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Howe won’t come here. He gets a nosebleed leaving Bournemouth. It’s why he left Burnley and turned down Celtic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
