How can you be sure? For all we know, he was jilted last summer and could be resentful and might want to remain the only manager in our history to take us into the top flight?
I'm not claiming this is the case, merely asking why you're so sure. After all, he took Ings and Bartley from us when he went to Burnley. Add in Stock, Vokes and McQuoid and he clearly likes to bring in players with who he has worked in the past. Plus the coaching and scouting members of staff.
Well besides everything he is a supporter and I don't believe he was jilted last summer.How can you be sure? For all we know, he was jilted last summer and could be resentful and might want to remain the only manager in our history to take us into the top flight?

Edited to add Jon Stewart, goalie.

Was he not a supporter when he signed loads of players from us for Burnley?
Agree. My overriding feeling at the time was that EH did less to disrupt our team than I was fearing. Especially knowing how back then, Mitchell would have accepted any bid for any player. After his departure he still left us with a decent team, good enough for Bradders to take them to the playoffs. It could have been much worse IMO. It wasn't exactly a John Bond / Norwich scenario, was it ?Does Marvin Bartley in the first window and Danny Ings and Jon Stewart in second really qualify as “loads”?
I think most were surprised with how little he raided us. Considering most of that squad left.

Howe and Celtic talks
Eddie Howe is not expected to be named Celtic boss in the next 24 hours as the two sides continue to negotiate a deal with the ex-Bournemouth boss pushing for trusted ally Richard Hughes to join him north of the border. He may also wait until the summer before taking charge. (Daily Record)
May wait until Summer to start the job.
Seems Eddie rates Hughes, even if some of our fans don’t.

Exactly, he won't have a director of football pull the strings if he has never worked with them.I think the reality is that Eddie wants to work in a structure where the Manager tells the Director of Football what to do and not vice versa.
Vicky maybe putting her foot down again.It's not happening, is it?
Seems according to this story several stumbling blocks have been mentioned.
Also still linking him with the Palace job next season.
