Next manager?

[Sexual Ealing]

They're all gambles. Brentford are my local team and they're honestly a lower league club that are punching way above their weight. That's not all down to Smith, granted - and I'd prefer Rodgers if he was getable - but he's a damn sight better prospect than Bruce.

Also, Turner might have been a more sensible option if we were in the second division when we appointed him. But that's a can of worms.

Howe was terrible at Burnley. Sometimes a manager suits a club.

[Risso]

I think an important consideration is how well the club is structured off the pitch.  Most of our recent managers have come in when the off field stuff was on a deep downward trajectory.

I may be wrong but I think I once read that he had some personal issues while at Burnley which made it hard for him to settle - something along the lines of an illness or death in his family, who were all still back on the south coast. He'd barely have been in his mid thirties at the time.

I think you’re right.

Howe would always be my choice. Chance to manage a potential top 4 side and he's not gonna get that chance from any of them in the Premiership. Won't come mid-season though, and would take a lot persuading to in the summer

Sorry, who is the potential top 4 side?!  Us?!

If fucking spurs can crash that party, then we can too.

Eddie Howe is not going to resign and come to a championship club

He just isn't

If Leicester can win the Premiership we can win the EC for a second time.

We need to get back in the premier league before we can even ask him the question.

Everton and West Ham jobs will both come up again in next two years most likely. Both spend 100m + each summer now and they'll likely finish in the top 10 so if Eddie Howe is looking for step up I'd say those two would be much more attractive than us.

They are more attractive, but would they ever ask him? He's an english manager, the lowest of the low in these days where the likes of Moyes and Allardyce are only employed as stop-gaps. I don't think they would and in the case of west ham i don't think he'd  accept.

[Steve67]

Sadly, I think that this is one of the reasons we might turn to Moyes if Bruce gets ditched. Falling stock, Moyes and us, all sorts of potential, more us, due to the owners dosh, less so for Moyes.

Lucky you weren't in charge of choosing the new manager in 1987.
