They primarily want top 4 though, Jose is tried and tested in that area. Howe is not. Top 4 is worth far more than 15 million a year.They pay the manager £15m a year!
If they didn’t care about winning anything we could have Eddie Howe in charge for a quarter of that salary. They might not care about winning as much as the fans but they do care. Just not enough to spend the big money.
