Who decided it'd be a good idea to play Bacuna at right back for months ,for example ?
Who decided to play Harry Wilson on the wing so often instead of in midfield ?
Who decided to get rid of Patterson for chump change instead of retaining him as an option?
Who decided to send a second rate central defender on loan and replace him with a fourth rate one on loan ?

It's the job of any manager to make such decisions which he stands or falls by. What we need is someone who can make consistent shrewd calls on stuff like this.
Hes not perfect or faultless. But not long ago he got us up the table to the play offs. So he is a manager who can achieve that.

He has made some good additions and has been unlucky with injuries. He has had little financial backing and clearly needs to get Warnock signings out before he can continue to build his team.

There is zero chance Eddie Howe will come here. No money and a major rebuild needed.

We will be looking at a bargain basement cheap option. Things could quickly get much worse. At this stage id rather have a man un charge who is proven that he can make top 6.

Look if we had millions to spend and an ambition to go all out for autos next season and Eddie Howe would come then great get him in.

Reality is there is no money to attract someone like Eddie Howe.
