Should we bring Howe back

It’s clear that (Man City aside) we will always be hard to break down under Dyche. And that always gives us the point to defend.
But we have to admit we don’t look like creating anything if McNeil is stopped or we don’t get set pieces. I think we only had one corner yesterday.
With Howe out of work who obviously still likes us given media comments, should we look to opt for a joint management team?
It’s worked plenty of times for other teams. And we would be unstoppable at one end and unbreakable at the other.
Plus if the takeover happens Howe can definitely spot good young attacking players.

I agree. Bring Howe back.

Probably a fishing attempt but I'll bite and say that the idea of SD agreeing to "share power" with another manager is as likely as Nigel Farage and Michel Barnier releasing an album of Christmas duets.

Theyd be a good partnership, maybe with Stan as Director of Football

There’d be some real bottom lip trembling going on if that naughty boy Howe darkened our door again. Probably worth him coming back just to witness the meltdown.

Ah, you fell for it!
Cricketfield fishes far too often. To do a real fishing trip you need to do it hardly ever, so people aren't expecting it.

Sounds good, Stan, Sean and Eddie. I'd like to see a role for Waddle and Roeder as well, if the budget allows.

Certainly did well in his scouting role. Took Robertson to hull . That’s criminal. Stan lives within spitting distance of the ground ffs.

Should we bring Howe back ?
Of course... NOT !
Currently, we have the longest serving Premier League Manager, and one of the longest serving managers in England. IMHO he is the best that we've had in 40+ years, so WHY the regular calls to change?

Lets not get too far ahead of ourselves with that. We will be spending around 5 million a year on it now so it needs to produce regular talents.
What would the budget have been under Howe and the charlatan? 500k?

Obviously Howe wouldn't come back but maybe Duff could come into the fold and convince Dyche to play a better brand of football.

He has already posted that he is not in the best place mentally; does the OP really want him to feel even worse?

Would bring him back to Burnley, but to manage the cricket team. I can all see you asking "Howes that !"

Considering Stan was Hull's Chief Scout at the time, it would have been " criminal " of him to tip Burnley off ahead of his employers !!

Great post although you should be mindful that some people are going through stressful times and a suggestion like this could tip them over the edge

Whilst it’s not riveting watching us defend 90% of the time I hated the kamikaze defending of the Howe era which just ruined most games for me.
