True ....but I'm holding out hope that it's not moyes , I think he would be sacked and moyes in place already if it was him ... I would prefer silva in place for another 2 weeks depressing as it is , if it means we get someone who's not moyes

Agreed. Could be waiting until after the derby then give it to Benitez.
Gives him a couple of weeks to sort his affairs out and we don't send an ex manager to anfield to possibly get turned over and have to listen to that lot chanting his name.

Rafael's last game of the Chinese season is Sunday. He's free to talk to Premier League and La Liga teams after that.

Firstly, Howe wasn't sacked, he quit for personal reasons.

Secondly, Howe oversaw a huge squad change and a shift in playing style at Burnley. He took over an ageing squad that included the likes of Steven Fletcher, Graham Alexander, Clarke Carlisle, Steven Caldwell, Tyrone Mears, and Kevin Long and completely recycled the team, he brought in young players like Charlie Austin, Ben Mee, Kieran Trippier, Danny Ings, Sam Vokes, Junior Stanislas and Jason Shackell who would later form the core basis of Burnleys promotion team.

Thirdly, that side got promoted the season after he left. Finally, it was almost eight years ago and he was also only 34. The same latitude we grant to young players starting their careers to make mistakes, we should grant to managers too.

What he has achieved at Bournemouth since then is nothing short of a miracle. He's spent a fraction of what everyone else has spent and got them in a position where now they're considered a steady mid-table team. He’s working with Simon Francis and Steve Cook at CB ffs! Both of them have been with him since he brought Bournemouth up from League One into the Championship, and then from the Championship up to the Premier League.

Most importantly he’s got a unique ability to actually ‘coach’ players. He’s turned bog standard league one players into disciplined Premier League players down there.

To have them where they are, on the budget he’s had, for the size of the club (less than 15,000 seater stadium) is insane. Look at the quality of the players he’s signed for tiny fees (mostly from the lower leagues), the likes of Ake (£20m) Fraser (£400k) Josh King (£3m), Callum Wilson (£3m) Brooks (£11m) Cook (£6m) Ramsdale (£800k) Mepham (£12m) and Stacey (£4m). He's made a massive profit on players like Mousset, Ritchie and Mings. He's brought through youth and players from the lower leagues and has them in a clear system, playing attractive, pressing Football.

Brendan Rodgers was appointed Liverpool manager when he was 39. Eddie Howe is 41 and, mark my words, he will 100% get a chance at a top six club in the next few years. Excellent manager. The template for all young British managers.

Once again the myth of the ‘low budget miracle’ is expounded.
In actuality Bournemouth are exactly where they should be given their expenditure.
No miracles ,just a bog standard lightweight southerner.

I've read the same source. Not for one moment am I disrespecting his achievements at Bournemouth, just pointing out my assertion he didn't last long up here in the grim north.
The source I've read says it was down to his wife wanting to go back south which he did after only six months at Burnley. He then waxes lyrically at how he felt he'd never been away from his spiritual home upon his return.
I find myself half jokingly thinking that if he cant control his missus how can he control a first eleven. Bit like Giroud.

I do think he's got something about him, but for me hasn't done enough yet to make me want him as our boss. I'd like to see him do a bit more, like consistent top half finishes. He's bought some good young players, but the team is very inconsistent.

Howe did very well at Burnley until his wife had an affair

If only we were the same, 4th highest spenders since 2016. We won’t go for Howe he hasn’t been relegated lately so it rules him out.
