AyeDubbleYoo Posted Thursday at 10:17 Share Posted Thursday at 10:17 I don’t think turning corners and all that is very helpful. It’s not like we’re suddenly going to beat everyone. Are we playing well recently? Yes. I’m happy with that and will enjoy it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted Thursday at 10:17 Share Posted Thursday at 10:17 I think some have made their mind up already and are Howe out whatever happens. I think he should get January and Botman back and see how he does rest of the season particularly with Tonali’s emergence. I don’t see a change now as that beneficial.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted Thursday at 10:18 Share Posted Thursday at 10:18 (edited) There’s no chance of a manager change this season. Therefore there’s probably no chance of a change in the summer either, because the rest of our season will be positive. I don’t expect us to win the league cup but we can only take it one round at a time. Edited Thursday at 10:19 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted Thursday at 10:26 Share Posted Thursday at 10:26 The club need to help him out with a couple of signings, but they shouldn't souly be his picks, everyone needs to be in agreement. Last thing we need is a couple of signings which don't work and potentially the next manager can't use. We have enough overpaid dross on the books strangling us, and Howes loyalty and judgement has played its part, without a doubt. Not saying Mitchell is the answer, either. We just can't afford any mistakes or missteps due to psr. We may no be able to afford any steps at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It nigh on always does unless the club is a complete basketcase, that's why it's so often used as a metric. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More positive is that the uptick isn't just an accident from persevering with the same thing. We've tweaked the midfield and from nowhere the set pieces have some variety.

andycap Posted Thursday at 10:54 Share Posted Thursday at 10:54 (edited) Couple of loans would do if money is tight. Shift miggy trips and Wilson we should be okay for the summer window. Edited Thursday at 10:55 by andycap Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that or the fact that Howe has stated a couple of times that we won’t be spending big in January as we need to be careful because of PSR. Coupled with us having to sell to not break the limit last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycap Posted Thursday at 11:14 Share Posted Thursday at 11:14 Miggy will have decent price around 8-12 million probably. Trippier maybes 4 million at a push. Wilson could be bought for spare parts. 😂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted Thursday at 11:24 Share Posted Thursday at 11:24 Reading the last two pages, you'd be forgiven in thinking we hadn't just reached a cup semi final, people need to learn to enjoy the moment more, and not thinking about what might potentially be around the corner.

He might be "backed", but if the reports are to be trusted, we would put ourselves in the position of having to sell someone before 1st of july if we "back him". It might just be the reality, and talking about PSR in a realistic way has nothing to do with projection of doom. Edit: as others has pointed out already.

Well yeah obviously My post was more that the conversation has been about our manager potentially getting sacked after guiding us to yet another semi-final, and a couple of really good results and more importantly performances. It just feels like some people love being negative as a football fan, which personally, I just don't get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but if does when it is being framed as though the club have seemingly lost belief in him, it is the consequence of people getting stuck in an echo chamber and thinking there is much substance to #sackEddie #Howeout out etc and so on For the most part, our season is just about on trend of where most would expect it to be out with a few poor results, there has never really been much substance to validate this constant narrative Howe is a man on the brink of being sacked which IS pushed often as a narrative by some, and is being leaned on when it is suggested that would be the reason the board wouldn’t back him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
