Been nearly 11 months of inconsistent, patchy and poor performances, mixed with average results and some questionable match day tactics. A lot of excuses have been made for him and they are running out, and eventually so will his time here. It's sad, but it's a results business and a lot of money has been invested for us not to play, act or be knocking around mid table. He's probably got till Christmas until he starts feeling real pressure, by then we're talking a full year of average, which is not where we should be right now. Our best players will be away with 2 seasons of no Europe. Who do you choose? Eddie or selling Bruno, Isak and Gordon? That's what it'll come to in the summer if we don't get our shit together. Ironically if we sold all 3 this summer we'd be no worse off right now. Mind, he's been massively let down by the club 2 windows in a row. They need to make that right in jan, and the sensible thing would be to back him, but with club structure signings (signings both the manager and dof agree on with the next manager in mind if it fails) and give him the rest of the season to prove he can do it. But it's a gamble the longer it goes on, and with other teams looking like they are getting it together, I'm not sure a top 7 finish is realistic with the glaring holes in the squad and the lack of belief within the club right now. Next few weeks will be awful, with rumours galore he's done with each poor result or performance. It really will test him, the players and the fans, with the board watching it all unfold. Ps: there isn't anyone I can think of who is better than him and would come. I think we're stuck with each other unless an carlo to everton type situation comes out of nowhere for us. He might get the time to ride it out simply down to this, and I've no objections, you don't sack a manager without clear planning in place unless it's toxic, which it will never be with Howe.

Like the active clause I've got with my lass if Natalie Portman wants a bit. So stupid to let the deal go on something like that. You could say it was the unravelling of our window, trying to find a suitable replacement, moving all the funds to the position from elsewhere. If true of course.

1 goal and its nearly November. New contract? Arsenal move? He wishes.

Glorified loan, tbh.

I would as well. Club is lacking clarity, ambition and leadership.

Would love to see them talk to him like they did Staveley.

This is fun. I don't really care what happens to us, I just want to see the whole thing burn to the ground. Going well for me so far, and this is just the start.

More chance it's Pep Imo. I think for various reasons his time at citeh is up, and this is his last season. He's done everything else and seems settled in the UK.

£80m well spent.

Don't come back to this thread or this moment often. Feels like a tide mark and years away from bettering it, if we do.

Couple of screws loose in this one. Unfortunately his circle had always took advantage of it as a kid, teenager and adult. He's been used by them at every opportunity and sucked him dry. I still don't think he realises it as he still thinks of them as his friends. Having a bairn has probably levelled him out a bit, but all his career turned out to be was a cautionary tale to the next generation of players who think they've made it and let their friends dictate their lives. I do believe had he ditched them all, and surrounded himself with better people he'd have stsyed out of most of the serious trouble, and stayed nearer the top. BTW, not absolving him of any blame. He got th career he deserved. He was told time again. It's on him he listened to the wrong people.

It's almost if the manure fan on an nufc message board really said that. 😂 Some bites today like. Well done.

Bringing the middle east together, one unlawful PL rule at a time.

Go all out, buy who we want, let them take us to court. None of it would hold up, they've broken laws in their racist attempt to block Saudi cash from entering the PL.

Buy Minteh back for £50m charging the PL the difference. After all, we were forced to sell him due to their illegal restricting of trade. So many cases like this about to head their way. Goodbye PL. You are fucked. Proper fucked.

Again eating into the prize pot, which only pushes all other clubs closer to failing psr. Glorious.

Quickly stick in a 5bn loan and have it written on by the weekend.

PL teams losing their pot as well due to massive legal costs, so psr hurting them more. So many more cases like this coming their way.

Desmond

Ball bag lives on. 50/50 he gets through the international break though. Hopefully they can't find anyone, again.

Villa's set piece coach is amazing.

NUFC playing him upfront and pen taker is some kind of cheap mind tricks to get him to sign a new deal. The DENNIS system in full force.

2 shite bottom half teams slogging it out, desperate not to lose. Shocking stuff to be still churning out this shite so far into the 'project'

They don't deserve to win, but christ, if we lost, we couldn't complain.

Everton are the worst team we've played all season, and yet we're struggling to register any real attempts this half.
