Saint Charlie Posted 4 June, 2016 Share Posted 4 June, 2016 Whatever happens I'm sure the board will get it right. Every managerial appointment has been a success. They have definitely identified well what was needed each time so sure they will do so again. The type of Manager and strengths/attributes has been quite different in each appointment due to the need at the time so will be interesting to see what they most value this time around.

Saint Charlie Posted 4 June, 2016 Share Posted 4 June, 2016 Judging by those comments and his problems with the likes of Ashton and Samuel I'd be surprised if he wanted to come back. At a smallish club it definitely helps if the Manager is liked by the media. Shouldn't be so, but it is. The type of stick AVB would get, the likes of De Boer would not. Thats why Koeman was a great appointment because he stemmed the flow of negativity and was/is well respected by the media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I agree. The sports press that don't like him will have the knives out straight away. Still, if the club have him as a possible candidate they must have good reason.

Bewildered Posted 4 June, 2016 Share Posted 4 June, 2016 (edited) Emery would be a great appointment and would surely settle some of the nerves after Koeman goes. I fear he might be out of our reach though. Howe is meant to have a lot of control over things at Bournemouth and a strong link with them due to his playing career. Could be a risk if he doesn't like Les and Ross Wilson trying to direct things on the transfer front. Edited 4 June, 2016 by Bewildered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Matty 76 Posted 4 June, 2016 Share Posted 4 June, 2016 I feel like it's one of 5, ranging from likelihood to unlikelyness: Frank de Boer > Andre Villas-Boas > Eddie Howe > David Moyes > Unai Emery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Charlie Posted 4 June, 2016 Share Posted 4 June, 2016 Emery is also used to succeeding at a club where the best 2 or 3 players move on every summer. Yes, would be a good fit. This says he is in talks with PSG: http://goo.gl/gDKBmG He may fancy a PL move and maybe would need a club before one of the top jobs but if we think Koeman to Everton is a step down or sideways then Emery to Saints would easily be as strange if not more I think. Here's hoping but equally believe Howe could do well here. Ironically he might be harder to persuade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for posting Can't see why he'd come here though, bigger fish to fry surely You would think that, but just take a step back for a second. There aren't any other jobs in the PL. He has come out publicly (can't find the quotes at the mo) saying he would love to manage in England one day. He was on West Ham's list last year, I think they interviewed him, and I think he is genuinely interested in managing over here. Think about it from a managers point of view. You could be coming to a league with the likes of Pep, Jose, Conte, Wenger and co all to go up against, any manager would love to test themselves at this level. With ourselves being such a stable club, financially sound and European football next year, I think you'd be surprised at how many 'named' European names would be interested in this role.

Professor Posted 4 June, 2016 Share Posted 4 June, 2016 Eddie Howe looks to have a great future and although it's not important, it would be nice to have a real English speaker in the manager's chair. Think he'd be fine and could provide some stability in years to come, but have to agree that Emery is the stronger candidate of the two with his Europa experience. Both of them have flair, enthusiasm and an energy about them, which isn't something Koeman has ever brought to the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
