Fair play to him for hanging round til we get a replacement

Aye, thoroughly decent move. 
I’d be swiping my desk, rattling the secretary on it one last time, then striding out the minute I got the diagnosis.

Rumours abound that we've interviewed David Hopkinson to replace Eales - at least that's what Hope is reporting.  

 

54 year-old Canadian was in charge of the US-based Madison Square Garden Sports Corporation and was Global Head of Partnerships for Real Madrid between 2018 and 2020. Also had involvement with Toronto FC.

Echo to you, that's all, that's all

But you'll see lonely sunsets after all

It's over, it's over, it's over

 

It's over.

Not great that we've not really had a summer with a full compliment of settled execs since the takeover (or prior to that to be fair). 

 

Too much power in Howe's hands is not ideal. Not that he's not a fucking brilliant head coach, it's just that managers will by their very nature will look to the immediate situation, with their own preferences, rather than the long term. 

 

Reportedly, he'd rather go all in on Guehi than pursue another option.

Howe has a fucking atrocious history with transfers tbf. I reckon Jordan Ibe still gives some lads in Bournemouth nightmares.

I know scousers that said that they weren't bothered about Sterling going to Man City because Jordan Ibe was better :lol:

Does he? It's hard to know which we can pin on him and which are somebody else's fault/success.

He took a team from League Two to the Premier League. How has he got an atrocious transfer record? :lol: He’s even been vindicated on the likes of Solanke who was derided at the time 

Because he bought that Jordan Ibe for too much that one time.
