The way I see it is this, Howe may well be the Brendan mk2, but he’s coming into a very different situation. Gerrard isn’t Pedro mk2, we’ve just won a league, playing some fantastic football in a settled club and squad and are moving as a unit, forward.
He’s in a very similar position to what Gerrard was 3 years ago. I don’t believe he’ll get that kind of time as their fans are very different to us.
if he joins them I think he’ll realise quite quickly he’s made a mistake. If he wasn’t going to them they would hate him and everything he stands for.
If he does join and stays I think it’s Gona take him a few transfer windows to get his squad together.
Then again he might come in and be the new mowbery.
