Relegation wouldn’t leave the new owners or management blameless - there was time to turn it round - but if I was doing it on %s, it would be an 80-20 split in terms of responsibility. Years and years of neglect - and of course, luck has played its part for the last couple of years. But as Norwich are showing, you can make your own luck, too. It would be hard to argue Howe’s case if Smith gets Norwich out of it and we go down that’s for sure. I wouldn’t be comfortable with sacking Howe before end of the season, but if the above scenario played out it would be hard to argue his case, even more so if he gets heavily backed with signings next week.

Jaqen Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Norwhich have Wolves, City and Liverpool in their next 4 games. It's a good result for us. Watford pulling away was the danger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Howe should be there for the rest of the season - unless the situation becomes so desperate that a change is a last throw of the dice (if the next ten games are the same as the previous ten, but a change of manager might still produce a miracle). I like Howe’s footballing ethos - I like passing, pressing, attacking football. I think he’s a competent coach. But it’s a results business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Honestly don't think a change in manager will help our squad. Howe will get the season, probably next year to bring us back up too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll be interesting I think they would only pull the trigger if we we’re still in striking distance of the teams above. Undoubtedly many of us will now be conditioned by the Ashley years and sacking 2 managers in a season seems crazy, but it’s certainly true other clubs would think nothing of doing it.

Geordie Ahmed Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I'm looking at this as a good result, definitely preferred it to a draw We have games in hand (yeah I know, we need to win those) and we have a better GD than Norwich, a draw and win (again, yeah I know) has us above Norwich Yet a draw for Watford would had them 3 points ahead, with 1 game played more but a better GD so even a win would have kept us below them Ideally Watford-Burnley is a draw or even a Burnley win because before that Burnley have Arsenal away, then after it's Man-U and Liverpool at home Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, was just saying similar to a mate the other day. Watching useless no-hopers like Pardew and Bruce somehow surviving for years has altered our perspective on this stuff. Howe would be coming under real pressure pretty soon at most clubs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
