Everything around the club feels rather stale at the moment.
I feel for Howe because the bigger issue in my eyes is the overall strategic direction of the club, on and off the pitch, we seem to have hit a glass ceiling for progress.
They need to be better at communicating. Forget the name of the club official but it was ill-advised in hindsight to brief the journalists that a decision is ‘truly imminent’ and then say nothing else for another couple months.
