Kid Dynamite 7033 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Let's hope Howe is a success. The process to sack him and find a replacement would probably take us to the end of the season at this rate... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a bloke up there, fully grown man, in wellies, carrying a staff and running through fighting moves like he was Darth Maul. Pacing backwards and forwards. I shouted for the dog but mainly as a way of announcing that I was there, so this cunt could stop embarrassing himself while someone else could see him. Anyway, he didn't miss a beat, and he's still up there doing it now. Wasn't you, was it? I'll reply fully when I finish my moves. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No tweets from local journos. Hurry up ffs Genuinely, what's the rush now? No match for fucking ages. It'll get announced soon enough. Stop panicking.

Gemmill 44931 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I mean there is a point to getting him in ASAP tbf. Get settled in, get his team settled in, meet the players that aren't on training duty, talk to his coaching staff about the plans for upcoming sessions. Take training. Also, allow the management team to focus on the many other things that need fixing at the club, instead of being distracted by the manager appointment. There is absolutely an urgency to getting this appointment sewn up today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was at the game, he's going to be announced soon. For all we know he's doing shit behind the scenes already, talking to senior players or whatever. The announcement bit is just PR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the fact that Villa fancy Howe as manager as well now 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just PR, it's a contract of employment. If it was signed they'd announce it. As long as it's not signed, it's not guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No time to waste given our perilous league position. We also have three winnable fixtures coming up after the international break. Absolutely essential we get something from those games before the horror run in December Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 13882 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I’m assuming the delay in the announcement is to get all the videos and such done for the website.

Quote Sportsmail understands Howe would also have been the man the previous ownership turned to had Steve Bruce been sacked on their watch. Lee Charnley - the managing director who remains at the club - is thought to have supported Howe's cause in light of the takeover.
