That was the chime from the large majority last season.  And the vast majority seem to want him gone now. Must be significant overlap.  

 

 

 

When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?

Are they the same people ? 

 

Dunno but i've never said either of the things mentioned, i'll say that's probably the position of the many, saying neither. I continue to back Eddie, with some worry about how it's going, but i think he can sort it out.

What did you expect from this season given the summer and the atmosphere at the club?

 

I think the vibe from the summer has killed all momentum for the season. All started from the shitshow in June. 
 

My biggest issues are with leadership.

Would anyone have been able to predict who the current Man Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea managers would be about six months ago?  There is a narrative of ‘there’s no-one out there’, but clearly that isn’t the case. 

Very much this. The club have the luxury of not needing to panic, so it's entirely on them to make a beneficial and creative decision. Our competitors often manage it.

Scared thinking of who might replace him tbh. Personality wise it will most certainly be a downgrade.

 

 

 

Not necessarily, but probably, yes.

Hardly..we just want some signs of a consistent (good) turnaround and there's little evidence this season but it was excused last season due to injuries.

 

If we take Newcastle blinkers off, few outside can understand why he hasn't already been sacked and why we weren't  vocally calling for his sack at the end of last season

I think regardless of whether anyone thinks Howe is the man or not long term, he will probably finish out the season.

 

Barring any suprise sales, we won't do anything major in January. Howe will either sink or swim, and a decision will be made at the end of the season.

 

With the the option to bring in a new man, sell some of our purples and start over.

The performance midweek, though immeasurably better than the rubbish either side, was the definition of a midtable side at home on a Wednesday eve against very good one. We’ve had enough of being midtable alsorans.

 

 

I think the scary think is that I'm not even sure what a midtable side looks like any more. We got outplayed by Brentford today, Howe got outmanaged by Frank. Eddie doesn't look that special in this company, not sure he's any better than the Bournemouth or Fulham manager either.

Mancini would be my pick, btw, if he’d come. 

 

Good shout. Don't watch as much non-NUFC football as I did when I was younger. Like Mancini.

 

Thought Poch did a lot in a short space of time for Chelsea too (but he's now tied up).

 

Must be some young Sean McVay types out there in Europe with fresh ideas and an ability to connect with the club [emoji38]

My choice would be that Porto geezer whose name I’m not going to try and spell, Terzic or Allegri. 
 

Do not see the point in getting Potter. Would contemplate a visit to Dignitas if we got Southgate.

Who are our competitors? We are closer to West Ham and Crystal Palace than Arsenal/Spurs.

I don't want him gone.I want him to stay for years.

 

But its a results driven job and if the owners deem.tjem.not good enough he will go.

Not sure that last paragraph is right at all? I didn’t hear many fans of other clubs saying he should lose his job. Similar in the media, bar the clickbait, Talksport sort of shite.

Owners and leadership haven’t put together a squad and atmosphere that can compete above station.

Howe will see the season out, and that's for the best. There's still enough points to play for to get into Europe with everyone beating everyone, but that's also part of the problem. We don't look any better than two thirds of the sides in the PL. I thought we were nailed on to finish 7/8th at worst, now I'm thinking 10th might be an achievement.

Not really true though. We've been underperforming for quite a long time.
