I think Eddie Howe is the best manager we can get in the circumstances.
He's also capable of keeping us up, improving our young players and has proven to be shrewd in the transfer market.
I think he's in the top 5 managers in the league right now, clear philosophy and still very young.
What's not to like?
Better that than sit there deluding ourselves that either
A) Some no mark from China who we turned down / turned us down 7 years ago is better than we think (Klopp mk II FFS)
B) We're getting Pochettino, Simeone, Mourinho and other managers that wouldn't entertain us.
