KaKa Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 24 minutes ago, LV said: There does seem to be a dearth of decent managers about right now. If only Rafa could have waited a few more months I'm actually surprised at the number of relatively high profile managers that are available. The problem is that they are mostly from the continent and so the prem experience thing is a bit of an issue, only because of the position we are in. If we were comfortably in mid table we could have easily gone for one of the people available without as much hesitancy I imagine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Seems their plan is to keep Bruce on just long enough to accept nothing managers as his replacement. Looks like it’s worked. I’d have been happy enough under Ashley with this appointment which would be about the best he could do but not to bring in a new era. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the job he did with Bournemouth in general, they are a tiny club and he got them punching well above where they should be. Incredible really. He took them from on their arses in League 2 and kept them in the Premier League for 5 years playing a good brand of football. He spent money but no more than other clubs in the league. Amazing what he achieved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
et tu brute Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 5 minutes ago, Lazarus said: Howe would be a good appointment. Not a great one, not particularly exciting or inspiring but look at where we are: Lower PL club, poor facilities, poor squad, every single aspect of the club needs an overhaul. We arnt gonna be playing CL football for minimun of 2 or 3 years so while we are in transition begind the scenes, Howe would be a good appointment. Not with his defensive record he wouldn't, which is exactly what is required now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Of course we can only speculate, but it sounds like they're in the process of sounding out the agents of managers that interest them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty66 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Howe taking Bournemouth from League 2 to the PL is incredible but Lambert took Norwich from League 1 to the PL and look how he ended up at Villa. I think Howe is an OK manager, seems to be up to date with his management style compared to the likes of Bruce, dodgy Sam etc but we really should be going for someone better. Doesn't matter if they're in a job or not there's a boatload of experienced proven managers across Europe who we should be throwing money at to come here. This is a crucial point and we need to make sure this appointment is done correctly. (also why it's taking some time) I just don't think Howe adds up, needs to prove himself at another 1 or 2 clubs imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A club like that are always going to go down again at some point. Let’s not forget they were a broken goal line technology away from sending Aston Villa down that season as well.

Dokko Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) £200m Howe spent to keep Bournemouth in the PL. no idea how he managed it. Fair play. For balance he brought in £70m in that time. Edited October 19, 2021 by Dokko Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what circa £40 million season on average? I agree he made some awful buys, but overall he did a fair job. I don't think he'll be in contention so we don't need to worry about it.
