At least we have a chance now. True people are quick to forget how bad things were 2 months ago.

The Prophet Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 We've got a loveky run of fixtures from January through until March. Get the new signings in early and we can make hay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE27 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 (edited) Shouldn't bother me, and I feel a fucking tit even thinking about it, but... I can already see the state of the media and other fans/clubs when we go down. I'm trying to make peace with it now because they will be like a randy tomcat with 3 balls.

BennyBlanco Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I can only dream of what this place will look like if they conduct their transfer business in the same protracted way they’ve conducted their search for the DoF and to some extent, manager?

Tiresias Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Might as well start filling the squad out with some reliable championship players tbh. Gut some of the likely promotion rivals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I mean we got absolutely turbo fucked by one of the most incompetant managers in human history. A lot of money was spent to build a terrible team. But some blame has to go the way of the consortium. Bruce should have been sacked the moment they took over. The very next fucking day. We were always going to lose that chelsea game but needed to start eradicating the cunts influence on squad. We needed to appoint a manager quick. I know they had a lot to sort out but they didn't. Maybe Howe is the right guy but I he has also made mistakes. Keeping Darlow out of what sentimental value? Dubs isnt perfect either but he's not going to throw two brentford goals into how oen net, maybe just the one (like at world cup lolol) Then he somehow picks clark rather than fernandez? what is he seeing in these players. I am also not convinced by willock shelvey midfield. I think hayden has to be in there tbh to keep any solidity, as if we have any at all. Mistakes, mistakes, adding up and if we stay up it would be an unrivaled achievement. But every point dropped means you have to win more harder points and i don't think there's any team we can beat in this league. I don't think even 4 or 5 signings can save us. It is a season consolidating, chucking out the almighty deadweight in the championship and another year of any fun deferred. There is a lot of blame to go around.

TRon Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Wouldn't be surprised if Howe has advised to leave off getting a DoF in too much of a hurry. He's pretty used to dealing with all aspects of management at Bournemouth, and given the lack of football experience among the ownership, could be they would prefer to build the staff slowly and get people on board who they can trust. Just looking at what's going on at Everton where you have well paid big shots at the top all trying to pass the buck, it's not something you can afford to get wrong.

Sean Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 (edited) We're having to make do with third or fourth choice targets, managerial and directorial. We just have to hope the consortium make the right choices from the quality of targets available to them. Think this might be similar in regards to the January transfer window also, especially without the structure of the club being built yet. We may well make a mistake ala Emery Edit - not saying Emery would necessarily have done better than Howe can, but he has more top-level experience, and was the consortiums preferred choice over Howe Edited December 4, 2021 by Sean Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was much of a muchness and neither was a ‘preferred choice’ per se, in all honesty- merely one got approached before the other because PIF probably didn’t know much about Howe.

I mean I'm sure there's some merit in that, but we literally announced to the worlds press that Emery was signing. That was a mistake whatever way you look at it. We may have to put up with a mistake or 2 in January as the experience throughout the club just isn't there yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
manorpark Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 1 hour ago, Sean said: We're having to make do with third or fourth choice targets, managerial and directorial. I think that is very unlikely to be true. Though, if you believe the Media, it is true . . . but of course as they have no access to anything at all that is actually going on at the new NUFC, it is (as I say) very unlikely to be true.
