Not got much to say to the Howe topic as everything has been well covered. For me he has loads of credit in the bank, transition season, and I think we will come good eventually 

 

However, it is interesting to think of what other managers are out there, I'm not sure you can say most shout about (Glasner, Iraola etc) are upgrades on Howe

 

However 1 that I think would be and could be a good idea in 1.5 years time would be Inzaghi, if it turns out we would benefit to a change in management 

 

He'd a step up, though I reckon he'd be someone Liverpool go for if they get rid of Slot, or City if Pep goes etc

 

 

 

 

My opinion is still the same, Howe has the full season, I think we will find some sort of form, but let's see 

 

If we were to change manager, I'd want us to go big and get Inzaghi out of Saudi. Proper elite manager

Examples of any better than Howe?

 

You could argue Xabi Alonso, for example.

Andy's seriously the wrong guy to be attacking.

What's pissing me off the most lately is him saying he/we will learn and then blatantly not learning. Same shit over and over away from home.

Isn’t that just standard patter for managers who are losing their grip on things?

 

I know he’s quite reserved but you’d want to see a bit of anger and frustration after a match like that. They just seem to be going though the motions.

And yet my posts are the only ones you've replied to in a thread full of people genuinely wanting him out, calling me a fruit loop snowflake for...not being sure what my stance is at the moment..? And asking legitimate questions about our performances this season?

 

If you want to go on the attack at me and me alone, then continue to go for it, but if you're goading me then don't be surprised at the outcome as I really can't be fucked

I've never understood this Howe/Tindall dynamic. The rest of the managers/coaches in the premier league stand alone in the technical area and manage the game and make decisive decisions mostly by themselves where Howe doesn't appear to decide on anything without constantly having to ask Tindall what he thinks. We desperately need some coaches with new ideas who can change the way we play and motivate the players, either they replace Howe or they replace Tindall and Jones. They all need a fire lighting under them.

if someone say Iraola, I swear...

 

 

Tbf, Iraola is at a lower tier club, he doesn't have the resources to compete properly, and his best players are always going to get sold.

Thank you and goodnight. Got it all wrong today.

[Donut]

Come on now... Why would Glasner or Emery come here now? 

 

They're either gonna stay where they are or get a BIG offer somewhere we can't compete with.

Getting 'a reaction' from the same set of players immediately after the game you 100% needed 'the reaction' in just won't cut it anymore. There has to be a change of formation, attitude & mentality or personell or there will be a change of manager. Something major will change very soon with this squad and Howe. If Howe can't get a tune out of this squad then he'll get his cards, it feels like it's coming to a head recently and although today was only 1 game, it was a vital game and it was also one of the poorest performances we've given for years. No one should underestimate how badly losing a derby in the manner in which we did today affects fans. Today was massively damaging for Howe

The poll is a lot more closer than I thought it would be, would be interesting once people sleep it through / don't kneejerk after a big day obviously

I think when people have had time to shit that performance out of their system, it would probably be around 80-20 or above.

You’d have to question if anyone is elite if they ply their trade there, or China.

Eddie and Jason are conjoined. There is no one working without the other!

Seeing Andy getting pressed is cheering me up a bit, can’t lie.

So you’re saying you prefer George Michael solo to Wham

I think him and Tuchel will do a swap after the World Cup.

that's my point. He is the next guy on the assembly line of flavors of the month. Glasner to some smaller degree, but he's obviously won shit and qualified for the CL with Wolfsburg.

I couldn't think of a job more unsuitable to Howe than international football.

As a manger prior to the Leverkusen job, yes. 

[Vinny Green Balls]

Xabi Alonso hasn't been unknown since 2002.

I remember there was uproar with City fans and the media when Hughes was sacked and Mancini was bought in..That it was harsh etc etc..City then went on to their most successful era then by moving up to another level.

We are growing stagnant under Howe..We are never winning the League or the Champions League

Yes we won the Carabao Cup for which im eternally grateful for but so did Leicester,  Birmingham City and Swansea

He'd be in serious trouble if I remembered how to use the admin tools
