I didn’t think you were - it was just a general view. I think Howe is a better manager than KK, though. 1991/92 - funny thing is, there was genuine talent in that side, but they couldn’t defend for toffee. We stayed up last day of the season - the last two games (vs Portsmouth at home, vs Leicester away) were ridiculously dramatic

I didn't think you were belittling Eddie. Just was curious. What year was that precarious situation? I ask because I started following the team in the late 90's or so.

Just say Isak gets injured at the start of next season - do you think that Osula can step in?

Yes. I’m not seeing potential super talent when he comes on.

Just my view, but when Howe eventually leaves there should be a statue in his honour. KK should have a stand named after him.

Yep - if we’d been relegated to Division Three it was on the cards

Was the club about to go into administration and liquidation? Honest question.

The club doesn't exist without Keegan KK remains no.1

Also, trophy aside, he saved us from relegation under new owners. People can say he had money to do that, but buying the right players and using them correctly is what sets Eddie apart. Signing Trippier, Bruno, Wood, Burn and Targett. Could have been Mbabape and we get relegated. He got us safe. No.1 for me.

Kevin and Sir Bobby are close but breaking the 70 years curse is something else. Howe is no.1.

Annoying Delap wants Chelsea. Everyman and his dog knows he’ll be available for loan in January 2026, after he doesn’t play much and Chelsea still want a striker.

Eddie won a trophy. Keegan and Bobby both had brilliant sides, but Wor Eddie won that trophy. He's number 1.

Thanks again for hosting it, even though I skipped some weeks because I forgot the deadline, still enjoying this so much. Cheers

Couldn't pour watta out of a boot if the instructions were on the fuckin heel.

And because I'm bored I just did an enhanced version of Neeek Pope: https://drive.google.com/file/d/195TkofQ4hbu9vofiv8UJtGFG9q5B4lOJ/view?usp=sharing

I made the audio my text message alert. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ese_iLov8kpv5je-pVrW7_YZwNJdodbw/view?usp=drive_link Then changed it to Bruno going 'hee heeee!' https://drive.google.com/file/d/1I8vh7lOv9Oi5T5DWPHd3DdcCJRu3Ye9u/view?usp=drive_link

as much as i adore KK, King Eddie seems to be cut from a different cloth. less emotional and cold as fuck.

like some on here, they've seriously underestimated how good King Eddie is.

probably didnt want to risk his relationships with anybody within the club. now that eales and mitchell are leaving it doesnt matter.

This is the story they keep pushing and they have but not by that much. The athletic. Chelsea’s wage bill fell £66m to £338m, but 2022-23’s figure included an estimated £45m in termination payments. Another tidbit. Without selling their assets to themselves — including two hotels in 2022-23 — Chelsea’s pre-tax loss over the last three years would have been £358.3m, more than three times the amount permitted by the Premier League, albeit their PSR loss reduces from that level once allowable costs are deducted. Cartel clubs have it so good.

I think Chelsea stopped handing out daft wages didn't they? Seems to be lower wages but massive contract lengths now.

And he played under Maresca in the Elite Development Squad youth team at Man City, double pull if he liked playing for him.

Be £££££ - we'll probs not be able to match the wages being offered.

I'd hope so. A legless keeper wouldn't be much use

Is that cause Everton have a new Stadium? cause their squad is worth like 50p
