I shudder to think the type of mercenaries who will be willing to move to a club bottom of the pile in January, managed by a virtual nobody in terms of world football, not to mention the money they will want throwing at them because they know who owns the club.

B-listers who have already given up on being the best they can be and will take a long contract to move there and put their feet up.

Exactly what you want in a scrap 😂

Dembele from Barcelona to Newcastle on a free. In the papers here. He's been injured for most of his career.

Great. Now everyone else knows what weve known for generations. Mags stink. Shame they left shit off the list of things they stink of but they’re probably assuming that’s a given. They can add death and corruption to the list now anarl.
Bet they’re chuffed they actually won something. Shame really. I was hoping I’d shuffle off this mortal coil with a smile on my face knowing that throughout my entire lifetime I hadn’t witnessed the horrible bastards win anything.

Overall he did a great job at Bournemouth. Sometimes (in fact, most of the time) a club that rises does so not just because of the manager but because the whole set up is right. That's not to say he doesn't deserve credit, of course he does, but he wouldn't have done the same had he gone to hartlepool, it wasn't all down to him

So now he's in a totally different scenario, with different people involved, different aspirations, he hasn't got time to build a squad and he's operating at a level where, last time, the squad he had helped put together (expensively) were relegated and conceded goals for fun.

Don't think anyone's saying he's an awful manager, you don't bring a team all the way through without having some ability, but he's not a guarantee of success at PL level and is arguably no better than Bruce at this level. It's just not the kind of appointment you'd expect given the new owners, and the mags falling over themselves to pretend they aren't a bit disappointed about it is hilarious. I mean one saying she might cry when she sees him in the dugout ffs, he'd have taken the job under Ashley, it's not some previously unreachable dream being realised to appoint Eddie Howe.

The other concern I'd have is because I'd always want a manager who has done a good job at at least a couple of clubs. Shows it wasn't just a case of right place, right time at one. Howe get much has it to prove on that front after Burnley. For all he was good at Bournemouth there seems to be a misconception that they're a tiny little club and he brought them up like a non league side on an fa cup run. They were well backed financially, very well backed, and at the PL he ultimately failed

You ask any old Hartlepool fan how far Brian Clough would have taken them if he stopped
At times very hard to work out who should get the credit when teams do well .Bill Skankley record as a manager is not very impressive till he when to Liverpool ,some thing he was the mouthpiece and Bob Paisley was the man who lead them to success

As my grandad used to say
"Managers get far too much blame and take far too much credit"

Sorry if SEB but this link showing Bayern fans reaction to investment by Qatar really contrasts with the mags reaction

The suits really don’t like fans being involved do they? Makes you wonder how fan involvement will be received here where it won’t be allowed to be anything like what Bayern have.
