Won't Emery be managing in the CL, next season, following the Europa win?
Would he give that up?
Whoever we get, I hope it is very quick. Before the (F)lying Dutchman went on holiday, I was hopeful that we would have a reasonably settled summer, concentrating on extending contracts and bringing in one or two new guys, ASAP.
Now everything gets moved back weeks/months.
I'm open minded as to who the board bring in, although Howe would not be at the top of my wish list. As others have suggested, his time at Burnley was a disaster, and I'm not sure he "big" enough for the job. His experience, at the top level (as a player) is zero and his experience as a manager, at EPL level is just one season, in which Bournemouth struggled for chunks of it. And, following our disastrous Europa League, last season, do we really want a novice in the dugout?
