You worked with the CEO Right? You think he won't accept this despite what Eddie has done?

Big AL reckons he won't be here next season and said he isn't convinced Gordon wasn't fit. Wasn't expecting to hear either of that from him.

Disgraceful.

I mean, I look at our central midfielders and I often wonder what the plan is in the final third, all of the ones we have offer very little (Bruno aside)

94th minute and they still press high. We have been beaten by a better side here, which is frankly disgraceful.

The players have to know his job is on the line? They want him gone? Are his tactics that bad? Like what is it.

I tell you what, it simply has to be better than this. I don't want to see the man sacked but fucking hell...

He bought this lot.

World cup soon boys. Slight injury

Depending how much we sell this summer it might make sense to take the loss now to get him off the books. Even if we get his wages off the books by loading him out the loan fee will not cover the amortization. Let's hope the accountants/management aren't asleep at the wheel (again).

No way he's got himself suspended and earned himself a little Jolly

Tough shit.

I think he was CEO for in NY but I do concur. It's quite hard to compare such nuances, when the other side is a manager who won the clubs first trophy in 75 years.

Yeah I concur with this, although I did think the comments surrounding Howe were extremely naive in the grand scheme of things they are irrelevant. he also binned Silverstone who seemed to be stealing a living.

Good luck with that, I'm pretty sure they are already right on the edge of SCR and they have some players with lots or amortization left (mudryk, Enzo )

This part caught my eye and is huge if true. I was thinking how despite a mixed start hopinkson can be a game changer for us as it seems he's got a drive and a commercial nouse we haven't had previously.

Devastating news for the kid, wish him all the best.

Indeed but the points drop isn't the relevant part in our context. We need European football on a consistent basis, which is why such a massive drop off for us is an issue. City can afford to slip to first as it's just a bit of hurt pride they go again knowing they will be there or thereabouts with a world class manager who's done it all. Us on the other hand are back in the pack without that world class manager (no offense or shade here just being objective) with a massive budget deficit.

I hear you on that city were awful for about 6 months but they still finished 3rd. And the manager they have is one of the most decorated in the history of the game and a tactical innovator and this is where my heart wanting to believe meets my head And I get it, the flip side is individual errors, games thrown away etc but again as you do, I watch every game and often come away unimpressed with what I've witnessed. I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels this way, I doubt any sincere fan wants Eddie not to turn it around and I do think sentiment would change if we saw some green shoots.

This floored me at the time.

That's what I wish I had, I wish I had that faith he can turn it around, I don't think it's blind faith either personally it's just I can't get past how poor we've been this season, and I've been waiting for it to get better and it just hasn't and as the season has worn on hes started to look a bit broken and it appears the players aren't taking any notice of him. I've personally maintained for months now, that if we continue to play poorly and finish around where we are now id part ways with a heavy heart but that's just my take. I do hope it he is to leave it's sorted before our final home game as he deserves a proper send off. I really hope it doesn't ever become vitriolic as he's a class act regardless of his performances.

Aye agree and apologies wasn't trying to dredge up last summer. I respect and admire your optimism though, I really do, I wish I shared it. Either way he's a top man and a legend for us.

@Kid Icarus what does Eddie staying look like? My biggest actual concern is, we stick with him fully back home with more handpicked signings and he can't turn it around and is binned in October.

I mean sky bundle a lot of stuff and increase overheads in the process. If they want to they can, but the flip side is bearing all of the risk. It's interesting because they've partnered with the Telco here so offering at a lower price then them seems off

Service matters I think, if they can deliver it at a decent price and have all games it will do well imo. The price here is just stupid and makes precisely zero sense. both major telcos are essentially state owned.
