Howe will be a risk ,but when you think who is available and would want the job then they are all some kind of risks involved .Chelsea,Spurs and Even Arsenal until lately have all struggled with managerial appointments. You’re right Any appointment is a risk. I just view Howe as a significant risk for reasons mentioned above. The betting odds are a joke. John Terry second favourite FFS. Closely followed by Lampard, Dyche (no chance), Gollum and get this... Pardew and Michael Carrick. Ridiculous punter baiting.

I tend to agree - although if Roy loses another two games by 2+ goals to nil I’d be surprised if he wasn’t booted. This has happened before and he’s pulled results out of the bag... but we have an old squad with injuries to key players AND more fixtures being played over shorter periods of time. I’m not saying don’t sack him if results stay bad, I just don’t think a new manager, especially Howe, is going to be able to do much with us until those players start to come back. Howe is a massive gamble. He’s a one club manager who dipped his toe with Burnley and failed miserably. Bournemouth is his comfort zone and there’s nothing to suggest to me he’d do well anywhere else. He’s proven himself to be a great manager - anyone who promotes a club of that size on limited budget and keeps them in the PL playing half decent football deserves credit. But he’s unproven outside of that cosy, familiar environment. All that said, who else is there? Dyche will never come here. Certainly not mid season. It’s a really tough one for Parish. I don’t envy him - this could be the time our luck finally runs out With respect I don't subscribe to the view that he failed "Miserably". Edited by Willo (17 Feb 2021 12.12am)

But obviously there are different levels of risk No such thing as a ‘risk free appointment’ but there certainly is such a thing as more or less risk. I’m sure there are candidates less risky than him but it’s not my job to find them out. Unless he’s been doing his homework though, it appears he has little choice. Dyche won’t come and if he wants to do something now he’s only got Howe and (apparently) John ‘worlds largest chode’ Terry to choose from. Lampard can do one. He’d actually be even riskier than Howe

Well if it is Howe he wants ? he will have to move soon as I wouldn't imagine he will be free come next season.

He would also be inheriting a defensive line with a higher average age than the local retirement home, zero pace and maximum porosity. Not good for any manager let alone ones not best known for their defensive qualities. Certainly not Lampard. He’s basically Pardew 2.0

He had Bournemouth playing awesome at one point. Things happen for different reasons. Yes, they went down. But I'd still take him.

If true it's a bit worrying, team that can't defend hires a manger whose teams can't defend. Exactly. The desire to see more goals must extend to conceding loads then ...

Eddie Howe got Bournemouth relegated. No thanks. We might well be unable to spend more, but that is not Hogson's fault. The injuries to Schlupp, Tomkins and Ferguson have been a big blow plus the insane sale of Wan Bissaka and the failure of our big signings Benteke and Sakho. Roy will be scapegoated if we go down, but he is only a small part of the problem. Agree, although we have had a creative midfielder at the club who was not played by Roy, Camarasa. Roy is not totally to blame but is not blameless

A break from the game may have done Howe some good. But if you think that Hodgson looks clueless on the touchline and seemingly resigned to defeat and unable to get a response from his players, that was Eddie Howe at the end of last season. I think whoever comes in, unless it's a big step up opportunity, is immediately going to be putting their reputation on the line due to the rebuilding required. And there's no guarantee that funds will be available to get that done properly. Then there's the question over the competence of the people responsible for recruitment. I guess it's unlikely to be dull anyway Surely any manager coming in will have had some sort of guarantee regarding spending? If not they must be desperate for a job which is exactly what we don’t want.

I was responding to the charge that Howe "Failed miserably" at Burnley. Howe's record in taking Bournemouth from the lower reaches to the PL and keeping them there for a few seasons is worthy of credit. Edited by Willo (17 Feb 2021 8.54am)

Eddie Howe's odds to become the next Palace manager have shortened drastically today following a formal approach by the club. Roy is on his final chance next Monday evening. Another spineless performance like the last and apparently he will be gone as early as Tuesday morning. Jason Tindall will join as his assistant having recently left his post at Bournemouth. You heard it here first!!! Let's hope he manages the ladies team.
