He spent 20 million English pound on Dominic Solanke. It's a no from meCan I say something about Eddie Howe, I know not a manager we all want, including myself but can we not as a fanbase give credit where it is due?
Kept Bournemouth in the Premier League for 5 seasons with one of the lowest budgets of any PL club ever. They were only relegated by a dodgy goal line technology error, the goal that never was against Sheff Utd, it should have been Villa that went down!
Of those 6 seasons 2 were 16 and 18th and the others 9th to 14th which isnt a million miles away from where we are now with a club with a stadium less than half the capacity of Goodison and a budget less than half of ours.
Sometimes we are so focused on big names that we disregard the good work someone has done, TBF he has got a relegation on his CV but that is harsh being as they were robbed by technology & VAR.
I`m not putting a case forward but saying lets be balanced in our views.....
I reckon Farhad is option 1.Farhad ( and perhaps Usmanov) have a huge decision to make.
There are different avenues and personnel available.
1. The big name manager.
More of the same from an Ancelotti type Hollywood name.
Perhaps Conte ( if the salary is big enough and he has no other options ) although that might be unrealistic.
So consider Favre or Galtier or maybe even Low.
2. Middle ranking - could be here for the long term.
An uninspiring list I think.
Topped by Moyes ( if Blue Bill gets to him before he signs his new contract ) along with Nuno and Dyche.
3. The young manager prepared to work with Brands
So not so steady Eddie Howe , maybe Frank Lampard or perhaps young Wayne fancies a go.... lol.
An unenviable decision. I'd go for Favre myself.
we talking players or manager ?The board needs to grow some balls and make the young signings needed
Another thing about losing Carlo - is his pull for signings
Agree, the having premier league experience is just a sound biteI genuinely can't tell if people are on the wind up or just nobody can figure out we need to go sometging vastly different. Vitor? Martinez? Howe? Fn Benitez?
We've been targeting this stupid idea we need a manager with PL experience. All 5 of our last ones had that and failed here pretty spectacularly. How about simply someone who has an idea of how they want to play but just flexible and doesn't hate giving youth a chance?
He’s at a crap team what do you expect?
Completely agree.I reckon Farhad is option 1.
Brands option 3.
Kenwright option 2.
Seems to be the major issue. The club hierarchy don't seem to pull in the same direction.
Rather Potter than Howe...but rather neither if I'm honest...very underwhelmedIf the board are looking at Howe, would be odd if they weren't looking at Potter.
