I wasn’t suggesting him by the way. I’m with you, I think he’s one of the old school now, albeit with an incredible cv. His failures are starting to add up though. Like many on here, I’m not sure who I want, but I could give you a long list of who I don’t want. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only problem is we might find ourselves in the same position. He may play all of the right defenders, but not necessarily in the right order. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not knocking anyones suggestions -if I think something is unlikely ie Fonseca or a Henry/Terry combo - I am commenting accordingly I want Eddie Howe and want to see us test his resolve. He has done a magnificent Job at Bournemouth no question about that - but what more can he do there? i think backwards not forwards would be the mid term answer to this question? would he fancy the chance to turn this tanker around, playing in front of 30k for a winning team - Southgate ain't going anywhere anytime soon - so his route to the main gig is closed off. The top five would not hire him - should any off them need a new manager, almost certainly they would go abroad - so maybe just maybe it's worth dangling the carrot - I would love to see this happen - I love his philosophy and his demeanour, perfect fit in my eyes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now 2nd favourite. would welcome him. Henry - best price 8/11 - worst 1/2 - he was 1/5 yesterday Anyone who is so depressed to think it might be Moyes - lump on him at best price 12/1 - get back the price of the ST you will be ripping up Edited October 6, 2018 by SirSteveUK add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 That was a Bruce-esque result. Whoever comes in needs 1.5 seasons min. Bit like Bruce did, but this time, thexy football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 It’s an appealing job because you’ll make a ton of money. But it’s also a potential career ruiner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reivax_Villa Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I wonder how intelligent our players when following tactics and remembering patterns of play? Say if Henry arrives and he wants to play the 1-2 touch pass and off ball movements, do you think that is too advance for our players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Henry wouldn't because he's played with some of the best players in the world, won the world cup. Yawn. Bruce won medals as a player. Lots of them. Your opinion might be right but it's based on zero fact really. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Lack of confidence does weird things to people. Only Grealish and unfortunately Hutton ever really want the ball in our team. If we can get some wins together, as if by magic everyone will start wanting the ball and this lopsided squad will pull teams all over the place. Not sure how many we'll keep out like, but we can score 3+ a game in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate they are currently 5th in the prem and I'm sure you would agree they would not be classed as top 5. Are they likely to stay there? Probably not - as I say nothing wrong with testing his resolve - as for cabbage throwing the least said about this the better in my view - I would only add that I have enough belief in his ability that it's unlikely he would ever fall victim to such a reckless act Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
