No one

As I said I agree with you, any appointment is a risk. But obviously there are different levels of risk

No such thing as a ‘risk free appointment’ but there certainly is such a thing as more or less risk. I’m sure there are candidates less risky than him but it’s not my job to find them out.

Unless he’s been doing his homework though, it appears he has little choice. Dyche won’t come and if he wants to do something now he’s only got Howe and (apparently) John ‘worlds largest chode’ Terry to choose from.

Lampard can do one. He’d actually be even riskier than Howe

Did you know? 98.0000001% of people are morons.

Maybe so, but he still failed, and he’s unproven anywhere other than Bournemouth. He would also be inheriting a defensive line with a higher average age than the local retirement home, zero pace and maximum porosity.

Not good for any manager let alone ones not best known for their defensive qualities. Certainly not Lampard. He’s basically Pardew 2.0

We have been absolute rubbish for a while now, but a change in set-up (ditch the 4-4-2) is more important. And play players where they belong (ex. Eze). Let us see where that brings us before talking about welcoming a new manager.

I can understand people saying he relegated Bournemouth, but he also got them to the PL from L1 in the first place. They went down because the funds burnt out, they never had any real money and any they did have got put into players they thought they could make a profit on.

When Bournemouth first came up they played brilliant attacking football and had a hardworking defence. Imagine that system with our attacking players.

I dont see any better options out there right now apart from unproven championship managers and Lampard, dont tell me theyre a safer bet than Howe.

A break from the game may have done Howe some good.

But if you think that Hodgson looks clueless on the touchline and seemingly resigned to defeat and unable to get a response from his players, that was Eddie Howe at the end of last season.

I think whoever comes in, unless it's a big step up opportunity, is immediately going to be putting their reputation on the line due to the rebuilding required. And there's no guarantee that funds will be available to get that done properly. Then there's the question over the competence of the people responsible for recruitment.

I guess it's unlikely to be dull anyway

Old, Ungifted and White

Surely any manager coming in will have had some sort of guarantee regarding spending? If not they must be desperate for a job which is exactly what we don’t want.
Personally I don’t want Howe but if he is the new man, t will, of course get behind him
