Eddie Howe anyone? I think he'd love the Leeds job.

He would, but the job is not available at this point. Hopefully Farke can continue developing us into a force capable of challenging for honours, and stay for the foreseeable future.

Irrelevant, firstly there is no vacancy, and secondly by the time there is, Eddie Howe will have found a new job. The first PL team to sack their manager will have him top of their wishlist to fill the post.

Good point JR. Skybet have Eddie Howe's next managerial job to be with Man United ( at 5/2 favourite )

I see he's 5/1 to be next England manager, which I fancied him for before Tuchel was appointed. If I were a betting man I might fancy a flutter on Bournemouth at 16/1 where he's managed before, or Villa at 12/1 where I think Emery is on borrowed time.

I was jesting. At least I think I was?

You might have to don your tin hat Corkey?

Would definitely take him but on a year out at the moment. I personally would let Farke see out this year then bring Howe in next year.

I think he's a lot lower down when there's a hypothetical vacancy for me.

I'd pursue Kieran Mckenna, Pochettino, and Glasner before him.

Poch making noises suggesting he doesn't want another full US cycle, and Glasner is quality but no one lasts long under that owner.

With respect Alf, it beats me how you can make a statement like that. You say you'd "let Farke see out this year then bring Howe in next year". So if we have an outstanding season and finish say 5th you'd still propose sacking him and bring in a new head coach, that'd be madness.

If at the end of the season (or maybe even before that) , we're not doing well, then replacing him might be something the board might consider, but don't waste time dreaming about Eddie Howe, cos he'll be settled in a new job long before that.

Let's see how things go, and decide then.

As for Mckenna, or Pochettino, or Glasner, or any other hypothetical candidate - same answer, wait and see!

A bit surprised that only JR countered Alf's assertions to have Farke replaced end of seez.
