Everything I've heard about Eddie Howe fills me with confidence and he is everything that a club like ours should be looking for as the foundation stone of a long term strategy. All that worries me is that he is completely Bournemouth-shaped - all his achievements are with one club and one club only. His loyalties are firmly rooted there. Apart from looking at his evident quality achievements there, can we reasonably expect him to translate all that to us? On paper, he looks absolutely the real deal but would he struggle away from his own environment?

Hugely intelligent that I am (you should see the size of my spam) I hadn't thought of that.

One of the immediate issues he would face is the higher level of expectation of our fans v. those that he is used to. And given our current situation he has little margin for error - unless we're all going to be big enough to forgive him a possible relegation in the hope that he is the right manager to re-build next season from L1. The time will come - hopefully it's now - that he has to ask himself the same question and challenge himself further.

If it is to be believed that Coppell is having a large hand in the decision making, then I would of thought Howe would appeal to him, as opposed to a more bullish old hand. Coppell knew how to pick up talent from the lower leagues, so perhaps his judgement of lower league managers is also sound. I knew nothing of Howe until his name popped up, but I'm happy to support whomever takes the hot seat.

Apparently James Scowcroft has just tweeted that its Howe. I agree regarding he (or whoever) will need to be given time; if we go down then we go down. We MUST give the guy a chance; the foundations as far as the squad and the acadmey are 80% there; his teams play football the right way. All he needs is time.
