Armchair Pundit Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Manager aside, I can't see why we've still got Charnley and not appointed someone with much more club running experience with successful clubs. Thumbheed just doesn't strike me with confidence in working to bring in staff and players, plus he's too 'Ashley'. I see this morning one of the papers is saying if Howe falls through we'll look to Dyche, Gerrard or Haise. What happened with Fonseca though?

Fantail Breeze Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Said it for a while, but bringing in a competent manager and two or three signings in January will see us closer to 10th than relegation by the end of the season. Our next five games are all easily winnable. An international break for Howe to work with the team, perfect timing really. It just needs to be announced today, each day that passes is another one wasted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 You can't look at a fixture list and say "we can't get anything from these fixtures". You do that and you are already relegated. By the time those fixtures have come around, the landscape has changed. We hopefully have a spring in our step and other clubs come under huge pressure from whatever situation they are in. I'm not scared of Man Utd under Ole or Arteta at Arsenal. We might get beat, sure, but if we apply ourselves we can upset them. We have done it before.

Id even take Gerrard over him and the thought of Gerrard makes me want to tear my skin off as it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ste Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Howe will already be well educated as to what this team needs to change and who needs to be brought into the side. He won't know the full scale until he's in there day-to-day working with the players. I really think our biggest obstacle until January is mentality, and getting these players to think differently won't be easy. Have us pushing higher up the pitch, create a link between midfield and attack and he's already half way there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 They could well still be negotiating with Howe's backroom staff, it just isn't as sinister as is being potrayed. After the collapse of the Emery appointment it very much feels like the narrative has moved from anger to trying to paint the consortium as incompetent.

TBG Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Mental how they'll be doing things proper rather than handing out 8 year contracts off the back of a chat in a pub. Another failure for the new owners. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 49 minutes ago, Awaymag said: I know everyone tries to look ahead and look at all the permutations etc but the only fact at the moment is that NUFC are only 5 points from safety. And lets be honest, performances can only improve as the dog shit been served up so far has been the worst we have ever seen. Brentford and Aston Villa are starting to tumble, and Watford may start to struggle also. Im pretty confident at the moment with Howe hopefully signing and as someone said before - ace we have is Jan window were this time, we are guaranteed to spend! I think people would be less worried if it wasn't for that December run where folk are expecting zero points from 5 consecutive games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Beginnings Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Get the tough games out of the way in December. New players probably wouldn't make much difference against these! Would rather play the mid table/lower table sides with new players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that but Aston Villa have just lost 5 in a row - would anyone have predicted that a month ago. Brentford have lost 2 in a row and doubt may creep in (Norwich winning was a good result for us, keeps the bottom group together). Also, lets say Newcastle win the next 3 out of 4, the pressure on the other teams cranks up massively. We are in trouble agreed but the media are happy to paint it like its foregone conclusion and its no where near.......yet! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, though hopefully - if the second half last night is anything to go by - it's not as horribly shot to bits as had initially appeared. They showed good character last night, pressed more and tried to make something of Brighton's mistakes. Definitely still fragile and nervous, like, but thankfully not a lost cause.

54 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 His first lineup will be interesting, as given the international break people he wouldn't have had time to work with the likes Dubs, Schar, Almiron, Fraser, Lewis etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if everything isn’t formally announced until midweek, the team are off for 2 days and there’s talk of some big announcements regarding the corporate side of things. There’s talk of all the Sports Direct tat being removed from tomorrow. Maybe they have another sponsor lined up and want all that in the background for manager photos Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
