Not a fan of Howe, I don't think he's a manager who'll take us to the next level, much like Moyes we'll know what we're getting with him then moan when it happens. He might be waiting on the Everton job but I think there's also a reason that he's nearing 50, still out of work and the "biggest" club he's managed at is Newcastle.
But here we are again, throwing out the same names we do every 12-18 months just with a different thread title.
Im not too worried if its Howe or someone else, but I do think he'd be a step up from Moyes, both with regards to how we would play, but also our opportunities of winning something.
He spent money at Newcastle but he also delivered, getting them their first trophy in years and champions league qualification. He also delivered at Bournemouth despite having very little to work with.
As others have mentioned, the real positive would be we'd be going to win games. That might mean we lose a few on the way, but we'd have a different identity than we do under Moyes, which is essentially to over analyse the attacking threat of every team we play to try to combat that and totally disregard how we might hurt them

He spent a fortune at Newcastle to win the least popular cup anyone wants to. He'd be Martinez Mk2 just with slightly less bullshit.
I’d take winning the league cup over pissing away European football because he is too stubborn to change his team or system it would be nice to have a positive going for it type manager rather than the last 3 we have had
We’d most likely be in a position where we’re looking for a manager to take us from 15th to European contenders and I think Howe can do that and possibly go beyond that.
Perfect fit for me. I think we’d love his way of playing here.

Agree totally, win one lose two trying to win gets you the same points as drawing three, but occasionally those draws become two wins and a loss, with the occasional three wins on the bounce.
I’m not a big Howe fan, bit this vid of how he mixed aggressive high press with in game shifts to low block pragmatism is similar to what Moyes seems to attempt to do.
Granted, he had Bruno, Tonali, 2 really good full-backs, Isak, and a blossoming Gordon at his disposal.
I'll take anyone who doesn't pick a side and set his team up at home with the express intention of stopping the opposition from playing, over playing our better players in the hope we might actually go out and try to win a game of football.
The comment on Saturday after the game about the reason he picked Rohl just about summed him up.
Talking about Eddy Howe like we could do better is fucking hilarious. And the only reason we could get him, is because he's a blue. There are better Prem jobs out there.
