If Trippier staying means him and Burn start at fullback and Tino is on the bench which is likely what will happen then I'm not in favour.

If we have to sell players to meet FFP much rather lose Trippier and Almiron now than Bruno or Isak in the summer.

That hardly classifies as pushback, it's just posters not capable of entering into a discussion with someone with contrasting views to their own. Maybe it's just a lack of intellectual capacity .

Honestly what's the point of posting on a discussion forum if you are not prepared to discuss?

Your opinion is to be respected your contribution to the discussion not so much.

Mourinho would bring horrible football and the never ending just escalating Jose circus. However if we finish the season badly and Howe remains incapable of rotating and continues to be tactically inflexible we could well end up with him as our next manager, unless we can tempt a De Zerbi or Alonso. The only upside is Jose just might win us a cup before it all goes to the dogs, it’s the kind of thing he does.

trippier at fault.

Unless FFP and FMV get blown up by someone we are likely to remain roughly the 6th biggest club in the premier league in terms of income along with all the disadvantages that goes with that . If the Saudi's build a big shiny new stadium with increased capacity and match day and sponsoring opportunities similar to Spurs we might be able to compete with them again. We are still going to be well behind the Manchester clubs, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea, which means less money to buy players, pay wages and virtually all the time this is reflected in the finishing position of the club.

Definitely not average and who knows whether or not the money would be well spent. Tonali is currently a waste of money. Virtually every successful team in the world plays with a defensive midfielder apart from this version of an unsuccessful NUFC.

I'm going for 4-1 maybe 5.

Surely only a matter of time.

Don't be ridiculous, that would require not playing 433.

Even Botman who is one of our better players is seriously flawed due to his lack of pace.

She doesn't look very heavy to me.
