The fans are nowhere near wanting Howe gone.... well unless you take what you read on a football forum or twitter as your metric. As always, it's the extreme end of opinions.

 

Some healthy criticism aside, most people who I speak to are still absolutely behind him. Of course, like anything else. If you keep getting beat...

 

I agree. In November, you are correct. If he can't course correct pretty significantly by May, people might feel different.

So what?

 

a poor 13 games and you want him out? There not even an obvious upgrade available.  What do you expect this squad to achieve?

So what?

 

I expect better performances and results. Like you and the rest of us.

The fans opinion means absolutely nothing either way, same as the stadium it will be solely down to what the owners decide

 

That's not true. Not even slightly.

I want the best for

my football club and if we can afford the best wages for management then so be it.

We haven't played well or been fun to watch so far this season. In fact I don't remember when we last did/was. I haven't looked forward to us playing for a long time and that's concerning. Feels like it's gone stale and that we need a boost of some sort.

I'd rather get rid of a host of players before losing the manager.

 

Things are a bit stale, some poor decision making at either end of the pitch and the side are lacking some confidence/motivation for whatever reason.

 

I'd be looking at a bit of a fire sale and a mini rebuild. We've got some really great things about our squad.

 

I'd pretty much take offers for most of our players, in order to be able to do some business in the transfer market.

 

Eddie Howe is, at minimum, a good manager. We've had 3 managers in the PL era who can sit at the same table as him, in 30 years of football.

 

In my opinion, losing him would be catastrophic. 

 

Whose job is it to motivate the team/make them confident?

 

Why are top drawer talents consistently underperforming?

 

Why can't we close out games? Where is our defensive steel against non-Cartel clubs?

 

I would personally want satisfactory answers to these questions before you reload the squad with a new crop of talent, and potentially shave a few years off our football-watching life.

To be fair, I think most of us talk about football with other fans away from the football forum and Twitter. There’s a good section of the people I know starting to ask questions and think about who might replace him. I wouldn’t say it’s nowhere near.

Yeah someone above said we have only been poor for 13 games but it's a lot longer than that , you could argue we have been up and down for the best part of a year now, since we beat Man United at home this time last season when it should have been about 5-0 we have never really consistently looked anywhere near our best.

I think this thread is already well into Choose Your Own Adventure mode tbh, so it can probably mean whatever you want it to mean.

This, The summer window was a car crash that wasn't down to him, Jan will be huge and i hope we move on a few players 

I beg to differ it was all down to him with his monocular vision. We are crying out for a large mobile CB not a titchy little Gheui. A bloke with good history has the recruitment job but no . .Alan Howe knows better

Yes or no, do we finish top 6 this season? Answer with your brain.

 

No. Still idiotic to suggest saying "Yes" would be some mental opinion belonging only to the crazy minority.

A poll might be pretty interesting, think it would be quite close to those wanting him out or not.


Strongly back him

Still back him for now

Open to change end of season

Strongly think he should go

 

If they’re the options, think it’s heavily clumped in the middle too, with more still backing, but the open to change starting to have more.

Not saying it is. Just saying we all knew we needed minimum top 6 this season, and even those admitting they can’t see it now are deferring judgement. I don’t get it.
