Can someone please explain to me how Eddie Howe is and advancement on Carrick and how he would change the fortunes of the team? Are there legs in this rumour or is the media just winding up? I'm at a loss.

He's undoubtedly an upgrade. Plays better football, teams are attacking, and can manage under a budget.
I'm not saying he's who I'd be pleased with, but he's who we are likely to appoint and will have the team more organised than Carrick.

He's definitely better but still nowhere near good enough to get us back to challenging for titles.
Wilcox probably adopt his transfer strategy ie change a bit at a time. Get a slightly better manager and hope there is an improvement and then if reaches a ceiling go again and get another manager.. Only problem is this method has failed spectacularly.

If my daily turnout grew legs, arms, a head and a heartbeat, it would be better than Carrick.
He is, without a shadow of any doubt, the worst manager we have ever had in my opinion.
I do take you point though, he strikes me as another yes man. We don't need yes men, they get us nearer the championship than champions.

Howe is far better then Carrick but he is not what we need, we need someone who done it as a player and manager and Conte is available so that's where I would go because Emery ain't coming.
