    What to expect from Paulo Fonseca

    Just read this:

    https://www.90min.com/posts/what-new...-paulo-fonseca

    Plays exciting attacking football but his sides can also leak a lot of goals apparently. His record against direct rivals in the league isn't good either...

    If this is all true then perhaps Eddie Howe would be a safer bet? He has Premier League experience and knows Ritchie, Frazer and Wilson already. I think he also kept Bournemouth up for 3 or 4 seasons before all the bad luck with injuries when they went down

    Howe for me out of the 2 though would prefer someone else.

    Fonseca has a good win ratio to be fair though. Something like 75% at Shakhtar and 55% at Roma.

    Gotta be an improvement.

    Just looking at the Man-U score and thinking Solskjaer could be in the frame in a couple of hours

    Yeh you would have to say that Howe, Favre and Fonseca are all a massive improvement on Bruce

    Wouldn't Favre hold some sway with Halland

    Look, Bruce made Partdue look good so it. So literally anybody would be an improvement.

    Howe doesn't excite me. But I am excited to have Bruce leave. I bet he is well excited with his £8m Brucie Bonus reward for failure.

    Bruce has completed the best deal of his life, and worse still he wasn't responsible for creating it. He only made sure he earned it by his ineptitude, lack of tactics, and lack of vision.

    The new manager, whoever he may be has only to apply intelligent tactics to the team and get a 10% improvement until the next window, by which time he ought to have an idea about who is playing for him and who he wants out, then an even moderate spend to bring in 4/5 new additions should see us safe to the end of the season.

    Imagine him trying to play all out attacking total football with this current squad Our defence would leak more than a burst pipe. I don’t think he’ll be able to attract the type of player in January to suit his style and could be a big risk. It feels he should be the manager after the next one.

    Personally, I would love to see us attacking more. Our strengths are predominantly our attacking players, so setting them up instead of having them defend for 90 mins would be a more entertaining and tactically clever approach.
