If not Howe, then who?

If PIF do opt to move on from Howe, who they bring in will absolutely tell us their ambitions for the club.

 

Big name like Inzaghi, Xabi Alonso or someone of that ilk, then it’s some ambition shown on their part.

Who picks the next manager?

 

I cannot see Hopkinson making that decision, perhaps Wilson?

 

They took their time appointing Howe and seemingly had an interview process etc, so I’d like to think they’d ensure they appoint the right man again.

Cannot see any of these managers wanting to join us due to the huge PSR.SCR rules that limit our ability to grow and invest in the players they would need. 

[CallumG6]

Absolute dream scenario would be Xabi Alonso.

 

Not getting the Liverpool job (if you believe Ornstein) and needs to rebuild his reputation a bit after the Real debacle. 
 

Plus, Leverkusen are a bit like us in the sense of probably underachieving before he got there.

 

But at the same time, it could (and probably is) a pipe dream with PSR, and he could have absolutely no interest in joining, regardless of money on the table, his next job has to be right.

I would imagine it would be decided at a board meeting. Maybe at matfen hall or Alnwick.

Keep Howe. This season will just be a footnote during his dynasty at this club.

Mourinho would be a bad appointment, imo. We’re a club that needs to develop players especially with what we’re seeing starting to come through the academy, Mourinho would be good for that.

Agree with this, we need a manager that can bring through youth. Not sure who that is, but given the recent success of our under 15 team, we need to ensure they have a pathway to the first team.

You can’t knock the job Iraola has done at Bournemouth and he’s out of contract which would be appealing financially.

 

They were very street wise with their time wasting yesterday and I haven’t seen enough of them in home games, but not sure I could watch that every week.

 

I’ve got some reservations as whether he’d be the right fit.

I’d have him here if Howe went, 100%. I just assumed he was going back to Spain and had somewhere else lines up already. 
 

His teams usually get the better of us, even if it’s a draw, they’re usually the better side. They were a joy to watch at Arsenal last week. Didn’t see yesterday’s game, thank fuck. So can’t comment there. 
 

They are definitely professional shithouses. But then we have moaned we’ve lost that edge during Howe’s time here and we’re not sly and good at the dark arts like we used to be. 
 

His playing style would possibly result in a lot of burn out and injuries, again. But then he also might use his squad better than Howe has and his squad has never been the deepest at Bournemouth. 
 

I don’t watch enough European football these days. So fuck knows who a realistic option would be from abroad. From the Prem, Iraola is about the only realistic option that I’d actually be excited about.

Alonso would just be waiting for the Liverpool job.

We have been linked with him in the past https://talksport.com/football/3250350/inter-milan-simone-inzaghi-tottenham-hotspur-newcastle/

 

Also got links to PIF as well so not beyond the realms of possibility 

[Ikon]

Really like all I've seen and read about Sebastian Hoeneß.

If one out the under 15 turns into a regular squad player that's a result. 2/3 would be a generational standout.

Might well be a consideration before the club takes the plunge appointing a new manager. 

 

We have to remember when we had Emery then Howe lined up, the world was under the impression that PIF would buy their way to glory. This is a very different NUFC which can only operate as outsiders looking in. 

[Dokko]

I don't see psr being much of an issue with many sellable assets on the books. Tonali, Gordon & Livra will generate enough room for a few windows. If ksa can do us a favour and give us our money back on Wissa then I think the next manager could get something out of Elanga, wolt & Ramsey.

 

We've seen glimpses of wolt & Ramsey, and Elangas stats last season were solid, another manager might be able to find the best in him.  Those 3 have time on their side, it's only Wissa that's the problem and that can easily be solved and in the rules, as long as we don't make money on him. Even if we took a 10m loss, it's a massive win. 

 

Miley, hall and Bruno are the only players you'd keep without question. Keep them, sell the big heads and some of the players not cutting it, and we've got a lot to play with for a rebuild. Some sensible transfers from abroad and it's got a lot of potential for a new manager wanting to make it their own.

[TRon]

Just to answer the question, not sure if we are actually ready to move Howe next season, but Glasner might be a sensible option. Not dead exciting, but he seems intelligent, and won Palace a trophy.

Id take Glasner. He's had his team ripped apart time again and still getting results. Only real blimp was when he said he was leaving and the fans turned on him for a few weeks. Could bag another trophy in Europe as well. Been a fantastic stint in England for him.

Wedded to a back 3 isn't he? Would require an even bigger overhaul than we already need.

It depends if that's his only modus operandi or he plays like that because he's at Palace. I don't want anyone who can't adapt to the players he's got.

We need a full tactical reset. I don't think it's as big an issue with what we've got and with Gordon and livra wanting away, tripps leaving. Hall can play further forward or in the middle anyway. Might be that's his best fit. We'd need more cbs, but we probably needed another and if you keep schar it’s got legs. 

[sixx]

Iraola is probably quite a bit out of our league. A large portion of the big clubs will be needing a head coach before next season and he’ll have his pick.

However I do suspect much like Brentford, Bournemouth have such a brilliant backroom setup that the head coach position doesn’t really matter all that much. In other words I’m not entirely sure how much ownership Iraola has in Bournemouth’s success during his time there.

 

I’d be happy for us to take a chance on someone new. No idea who but I think we need it.

[Vaj]

The likes of Glasner and Iraola have obviously done very well in their respective roles but they are not better than Howe. Yes, things have gone a little stale but I am hoping a refresh in the summer with a change in players will help freshen things up.

 

If Iraola and Glasner are the level we are going after I would sooner keep Howe, I would only get rid for an elite coach and if that is not realistic then I would stick with the man who has got us CL twice and won us a trophy.

This. I want us nowhere near him.

If he does well for us the media will be linking him away to them at every opportunity, and the pundits will be classing every win or good form under him as him passing his interview to see if he can do it in the Premier League.

He’ll always want to go there as well.

I also don’t trust the Scouse cunts, adopted or otherwise to fully challenge Liverpool. Say we went to to toe with them for the title, he’s end up chucking it so they can win it, the same way Dalglish and Souness dismantled great squad we had that were doing better than Liverpool.

[Stifler]

It won’t happen, but I’d go for Simeone.

Give him everything that he wants.

Pretty sure it’s how he always has set up at every club.

If the boys development teams are treat anywhere near as badly as the girls development team then I’m surprised anyone wants to play for them. Similarly, if the way the development teams are treat at NUFC is reflective of the culture of the club then we have a significant problem.
