Mr Popodopolous Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Eddie Howe- to what extent does he rely on the cheque book? This is something that won't be a feature for many Championship clubs for a bit, if FFP isn't scrapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledAjax Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 It's so frustrating. IMO we're a far less attractive job now than we were in July 2020. Mid-season, no transfer window, massive injury list, out of the cups. What's the attraction for anyone to come here now who didn't fancy it or was told "no" in the Summer?

steviestevieneville Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Might sound a bit daft but. He built Bournemouth up from nothing and brought them through the leagues.

I get what you're saying but these same jobbies won their first 6 games. Injuries derailed us, confidence and form disappeared and DH didn't have the experience to stop the rot. A decent manager should get us into the playoff picture at least. Ffs, Boro, Barnsley and Reading aren't in the same league as Watford and Norwich. Swansea are punching above their weight and Bournemouth are plateauing. Play offs are still achievable. Big Mick has turned Cardiff around in 6 games. It could happen to us with the right man.

Spike Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 The Simple fact is the club should be at the very least approaching him, if he isn't interested then that's understandable, but we need to start showing some form of intent by approaching the coach/manager we need, not one who will say "yes boss" when he knows he can't deliver.
