But eras end. And what he’s getting out of the players he has on the pitch, who are part of the £700m he’s had to spend, isn’t good enough. The players he bought last summer are a symptom of the changing situation - he’s not shopping in Harrods, but he’s still buying premium labels in Waitrose, let’s not kid ourselves that he’s plucking players from the lower leagues. Football moves on and unfortunately he seems stuck trying the same formula. He admitted himself he burned out at Bournemouth ahead of their relegation season. After pneumonia and a summer where he had to wear multiple hats, it looks like history repeating itself. Again - last summer was a disgrace and he should never have had to do that but I just feel the mojo had gone.

Fared better than I thought we would. Story of the season in that a competent striker would have had us 10-15 points better off. Instead we’re six points ahead of West Ham and Forest and have to play them both. The fact Eddie and our group of merry men have slept walked us to the fringes of the relegation battle is shocking based on the resources we have and momentum we had. We won’t go down but 16th/17th isn’t a great selling point to potential summer signings. Plus those 10-12 places down on last season are £20-30m worth of revenue removed from this season’s accounts. He deserves the last four games to show something but if it’s more Bournemouth, mackems, Everton and Brentford-esque tripe performances and outcomes then, for me, it’s time for a change.

Offer him and Elanga as a BOGOF to FC Glue Factory.

Impressed you see us scoring.

Too stubborn for his own good. Keep hammering the same tactical square peg into that round hole.

4-3-fucking 3.

Solanke hamstrung.

Got it on 5Live, sounds pure trash.

Crumble hopefully in Spuds’ case.

Morgan Whittaker if Boro don’t go up. 12 goals in 38 this season. Last Morgan who the Beasts sold (Rodgers) hasn’t done badly in his new team.

The non-injured Lewis Hall?

Is the correct answer.

Addendum: What frustrates me is the inevitable Pep Pathway for this. He has as much chance of becoming Fabian Delphi, Kalvin Phillips or Grealish than a Stones or Walker.

Yep. They’re a lumbering crock of shit and we managed to lose to them twice without laying a glove on them for the most part. Not this group of players and the management team’s finest moments…

Delusional if you think he’s coming here. He’ll cost more than Tonali to buy at a time we’re likely to have to bring in more in fees than we’re paying out due to the impending settlement with UEFA (precedent being Villa). Forest will gouge clubs for MGW and Elliot and we don’t have the extra CL revenue next season to pay that premium. Meanwhile 115 charges remain unresolved…

For me it’s down to these last five games. More flailing performances, more losses and I wouldn’t want to take the risk of the rot running into next season and sinking more £100ms into “his” players. If Eddie can get a tune out of them vs. Brighton, Forest, West Ham and Fulham, it’s a degree of faith restoration and he should get the rebuild.

Linked with Villa overnight.

This. We’ll get the same sort of fee we did for Longstaff.

Straight off Peterlee’s Safeway.
