The message was spot on at that time, however, it doesn't now mean it should be used as a stick to beat people with if anyone has any negative constructive criticism against the club. I think some of the comments in this thread are beyond nuts, I think anyone wanting Howe out is a huge overreaction, but that's just my opinion, maybe I'm wrong. If I make a flag and get a few people to hold it up supporting Howe does that mean everyone then has to agree with me forever? That's effectively what people are doing with this banner.

Always found it very odd that people trot this out as if it was some huge flag that the whole of SJP held proudly to the world and we all have to stand by the message, rather than 10 people at an away game???

If Chelsea could somehow sign a top goalkeeper in January they could win the league this season, they're very good, as they should be like spending a billion quid.

Selling him for 100m would be fucking nuts, we paid 60 odd million for him, since then he's gone on to prove himself to be one of the best strikers in the world, that's not even debatable, and he's still on a long contract. Add in the fact there's a huge lack of world class strikers right now, I wouldn't even go to the table for less than 150m. We should do everything possible to keep him, every other person at the club is replaceable, Isak is absolutely irreplaceable, we have no chance of signing anyone close to his level, we should tell every club HE'S NOT FUCKING LEAVING!!!

Don't think it would be a good move to switch Isak's position when Wilson sadly highly likely will be injured again very soon, could also knock Isak's confidence moving him to fit in Wilson. Isak has to play in his best position and you build the team around him.

Fucking commentator in the game for Isak pen literally said "if it's a mistake it's a mistake just leave it on refs call" wtf!!! Upson agreed with him as well, infuriatingly stupid, thought it was a blatant pen.

Just me that wishes there was a new thread such as "Sack or keep Eddie Howe"? Then those who want to discuss this to death after every goal we concede can do as they wish and the rest of us can avoid it and keep checking in this thread for all things Eddie Howe.

European adventures again next season 100%, probably Champions League via 5th.... absolutely giddy haha, we go again!!!

Where is this please @aussiemag?

If we get top 5/CL place think we can keep everyone in that 1st 11, and if any of the subs leave don't think it'll be an issue to find like for like replacements. Of course, it high likely won't go exactly as above, and if that's the case we should then have suitable budget to replace x, y and z, if we operate well in the market. Tough but certainly not impossible, and the main point is we are in a very good position to hopefully now press on to that next level.

Pretty exciting looking at the squad now, I think 2-3 years if we are shrewd in the transfer windows we can put together a title challenging team, end of August 2026 we could look like this: New GK Tino - 23 CB Botman - 26 Hall - 21 CDM Bruno - 28 Tonali - 26 RF Isak - 26 Gordon - 25 Pope - 34 RB CB LB Miley - 20 Joelinton - 30 Willock - 27 Barnes - 29 Striker Anyone people disagree with? Pope feels most questionable for me, but that's not going to be an issue anyways, then possibly next would be Joelinton. Of course big name could leave but if they do then it at least gives greater scope with budget to bring others in as well as a replacement.

Yeah same thought, he should've called him out for being disrespectful and told him to fuck off, in Portuguese!

Short as 7/2 with bookies, so would say your slightly under stating our chances

Nah, it's two legs still https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68082763

Come on, we can dream!

Was a good shout mate, unlucky

Odds would be close given they'd both heavily rotate and we likely go full strength

Yes please

Same

This is genuinely such an absurd opinion, no offence

One major concern I have with Eddie is his inability to address how susceptible we are to the counter attack. Since the Forest game on boxing day, when we got absolutely mauled, it's been an ever present issue, we concede far too many basic goals. You can't be a top team and keep leaking goals on a regular basis like we do. I don't expect many too agree, but I think Bruno is big part of this problem, our back 4 is exposed by those ahead of them far too often and Eddie's insistence on not wanting to play with an actual DM may well be his downfall here. I personally wouldn't even consider replacing him, he's a top manager no doubt, flawed sure, but no manager is perfect!

Villa rejected £43m + % of future sale offer from West Ham in the Summer

Your correct, think the article was in Athletic if I remember right. Most interesting bit for me was he snap says without thinking "Botman and Isak are our two World Class players", then he hesitates for a moment before adding "and Bruno and Joelinton of course"

No English manager has ever won the Premier League... Good luck to Tuchel!!!
