In retrospect that Everton home game last season where we didn't turn up and were lucky to sneak into the CL was a sign of things to come. I didn't think the mackems would be a walkover like some but wouldn't have believed they'd do the double over us.

I think if Howe left tomorrow his stock would remain exceptionally high 

Pepo (Peoples goat [emoji38]) Arteta ,Slot etc would never ever ever ever ever ever be able to do or has done for us or Bournemouth

It was said nearly every club in the league would want him though which I don't think is the case. The elite clubs in the league wouldn't appoint him. Villa and the mackems wouldn't either.

Bet Spurs would take him in a heart beat

Probably, but he’d better hit the ground running. That fanbase isn’t exactly known for patience.

I'm not sure you can be lucky to finish in the CL like. I thought the table didn't lie and all that?

If you’re going to replace Howe, now is the time.

 

Last seven games are dead rubbers, we are not getting relegated and gives the new manager a chance to evaluate players, try different tactics and buy players in the Summer to suit his style.

 

But i will say this and it may make some of you vomit, i hope Gerrard saying Newcastle is his second favourite side is not a telling sign or hint.

I don't get how they're dead rubbers, we still have loads of points to play for and aren't that far off Europe. This attitude is baffling.

Most likely, but things change very quickly in football. Stock is only high until it isn’t.

 

I still remember when Brendan Rodgers at Leicester was being talked about as Pep’s successor at City. That doesn’t exactly get mentioned anymore.

Would say it comes from Howe and the players mind. 

 

We couldn't even get ourselves up for a home derby, expectations to get ourselves up for the rest of the games is understandably low.

No you’re right, but what i’m trying to say is the timing is right, there’s a better chance of not getting Europe then there is.

 

And besides, a new Manager might actually lift this team into Europe.

I'm not necessarily saying Howe out (but I'm open minded) but for those who are still 100% behind Howe tonight, did you not see the lack of fight in the players today?

 

In the stadium at 1150 we were all up for it, the atmosphere was brilliant. Second half the application from the players was fucking shocking. They were not playing for him or the fans or the shirt. Something is definitely off, it stands out a mile. I think the players have stopped responding to Howe and/or his coaching staff. Something needs to change this summer. 

 

The mackems game is not a barometer of our season but its a check on the attitude of the players and the management. We failed big time, twice.

I wouldn’t expect any kind of bounce. Seems to me the players are really behind Howe.

If the owners and CEO actually mean all the ambition they’ve been talking about (and we don’t really know if it’s anything more than words), then there’s only one real option if we’re sitting bottom half of the table come May.

 

That’s option 2.

 

You don’t finish mid-table with this level of investment and respond by doubling down and giving the same manager even more control over squad building. That’s not how serious clubs operate.

 

Option 1 only makes sense if the ambition isn’t as high as advertised.

Hard disagree. Howe has vastly overachieved here in 3 of his 4 seasons here, and underachieved in some competitions this year (CL and cups about as good as you’d expect especially taking into account opposition that knocked us out). He’s proven to be one of the best in the business; one disappointing PL campaign doesn’t change that, just like Pardew’s fifth place season didn’t make him a good manager. I’d give Eddie Howe at least the first half of next season. Overall we’re still massively trending up. Howe’s development and entire ethos comes from analysing and learning from failures. Let him cook until the situation really becomes untenable, which there is every chance it won’t become anytime soon.

One clean sheet in 17 btw. You aren't going to do anything in league or cup with that record.

 

And in those 17 games we've shipped 3+ goals on 6 occasions including 7 on Wednesday night. Now I'm not doubting Barcelona are a talented football team but they only managed 1 goal at home to relegation threatened Real Vallecano today.
