But does a huge profile work against him ,and the board, if things don’t go well?
Are we seeking profile or ability to do the job? If profile why not Taylor Swift or Lady Gaga?

Henry and Woodgate could actually be a managerial dream team.
With the added bonus of Henry raising our profile dramatically. I mean really, a massive name in world football and world cup winner comes in to manage this little club on the south coast ? It would be a story and a massive statement of intent from the board ! Talk about shaking off the smalltime ( please, nobody mention the stadium ! ).
If he is serious about making a name for himself as a manager in England, his coming to Bournemouth with Woodgate as backup does seem like it could be an attractive proposition.
I'm starting to feel it, but only as a duo. So we'll need to extend JW's contract beyond the end of the season too. If it's a goer, I say let's do it ! There is no such thing as a guarantee for success but these two could be the perfect combination of experience and complementary strengths and weaknesses.
If it doesn't come off, we should probably stick with JW and give him a chance to make a bit of a name for himself.

Seriously?????????? I'm not buying into this one bit. He's a big name, granted, He hasn't set the world a light so far. If this is the best on offer, I would stick with JW, who has clearly got our defence keeping clean sheets. We're not looking great up front at the mo, but Solanke has been out and we're having to adapt to a different style up front.

Perhaps they think he can lure decent players to the club. That’s the only thing I can think of but that isn’t enough to appoint him. Eddie and less so Jason had that effect.

Maybe that is the English and French version of Jason!Didn't realise that JT had a double barrelled name : "Jason Jason-Tindall" according to that article. You learn something every day
Perhaps he can bring investment........

2 weeks ago Woodgate was just a big name who hadn’t set the world a light with a poor managerial record at Boro...
Wagner was a hot prospect before he lost 16 games at Schalke.
Tindall had the best record of any new manager at AFCB and was the last club in the country to lose a game.
Things change quickly in football .

Obviously I would hope to be proven wrong, but this feels like a disaster waiting to happen. The greatest prem player of all time, but absolutely nothing to suggest he is management material....yikes.

I’m sure he could but the window has closed and the stated ambition this season is promotion.

I find it all getting quite sureal, the days of buckets at the ground, the Winter Gardens, so close to slipping into non league. Bradders, Jimmy Quinn et all
Move on a dozen years or so, here we are moaning (not all) about a World Cup winning, playing legend, all time great and winner of just about everything there is to win becoming our next manager. Funny old game.

Rotherham could/should have had 3 on Wednesday so this defensive organisation stuff is rubbish IMO. JW’s big advantage is that the players seem to like him and he knows the Championship. But let’s not kid ourselves that he has done anything to suggest he can get the best out of our talented squad.
And Henry has?

Absolutely! 12 years ago tomorrow (20th Feb) we were losing 1-0 away at Chesterfield. It was the only trip I’ve made to Chesterfield. It still boggles my mind the journey we’ve been on over the last decade or so.
