Personally i would go for the Brentford boss and his scouts as he seems to get good players in at will.

Experienced manager,tried and trusted with the ability to keep us in the PL season after season,objective met.

I would not be surprised to see him on the managerial 'Throne' next season with Cahill and Dann in the squad.

Which despite the negative views of many on here, he does with some ease, our lowest is 16th since Feb 2018. Whilst teams around him are spending millions just to stand still, Brighton are a good example, they are constantly below us, even with their tippy tippy football.

More likely that Eddie Howe will end up at Southampton !

I have a hunch that you are going to be disappointed.

Cahill staying wouldn’t be the worst news. Hope he gets a coaching role too.

I am reminded of the adage "Even a broken clock is right twice a day".

I have actually been in communication with those highly supportive of Mr Hodgson and whilst they appreciate that the squad needs some 'Freshning up', the "Ideas" that have worked in keeping us in the PL should not be jettisoned for a different approach which brings with it an element of risk.

Sometimes major investors and supporters have differing perspectives and the protection of investments by a continuation in the PL with it's global reach and profile is paramount.

A smorgasbord of opinions and prognostications is all part of the rich tapestry of HOL.
You are forgiven!

It makes me laugh a little when supporters , don’t want to be compared ,or have the club compared to , what it was started Charltons, slide.
To be accurate their situation would apply as much to Brighton , as us , if the quality aspect was taken into account. But the situation regarding our position in the league is so much the same it’s totally comparable. And it’s completely comparable in so much as the fans are bored with what looks like no progress. The danger of all this is that we should do as Charlton, did and employ a manager that has nothing in his CV to suggest he could be a better option than the present incumbent, that given the true capacity of the club to supply the needs of the majority of managers with known proven form, not to go backwards, or stand still, but to genuinely improve , the all round standard of play, proved with points in the bag. And not just getting a nice but dim image for the club, stuck just above the relegation line. I for one don’t think Howe, would be our answer. We will need someone that has no problem with being ugly when it’s needed . I don’t see that in Howe.
