toontownman Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Probably going to be saved by three things: Saudis a) not being that arsed. b) happy to stick to the long term plan c) not being an attainable upgrade manager out there we would be proactive enough to secure with lots of competition this summer. Again. There isn't a better time to do it with decks being cleared with some big players leaving and a bunch out of contract. Money available to spend even before that. I don't think they will bin Eddie but I also think there won't be a huge outcry if they did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 It’s undeniably awful and I’m v concerned. I think I’d still like to see him get next season as a fresh start though. Teams can have shockers and be back at it the next. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milburn Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 And next up is Bournemouth. Probably one of the worst possible matchup for us right now. High intensity, aggressive press, direct running… basically everything we struggle against. Unless something drastically changes, it’s set up for another game where we get outplayed, both on the pitch and on the touchline. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question him maybe, get rid of him, no. There's been too many issues outside of Eddie control to blame him outright. Mind you, I'd love to know when we became divine righter fans from where we used to be - the way things are going, we're getting an increasing number of people in our fanbase who'd prefer us to operate like Chelsea or such where we have a new manager as soon as there's any difficulties, no wonder we've lost that 'together/family' feel at the club.

Amir_9 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 (edited) By now if you can't see why at the very least a discussion of consideration of his future is an absolute must at end of the season then I'm sorry, this club will be far beyond too late and too damaged by the time your eyes open up. Won us a League Cup so I guess it's alright keep happy clapping a dead horse. I don't understand the point of fighting against other clubs/fans when they call us a 'small club' when accepting/defending the huge regression this season as okay is exactly demonstrating the mentality of a 'small club' Spending £69m then not being able to integrate one of the best young talents out of Germany because of an inability to play more than one style of play Bringing on Wissa at the 94th minute today stinks of absolute desperation and not having any further clues on what to do. Panic buy or not, that's his signing in the way of crap handling the Isak saga. Not having a plan 'B' time and time again. Losing against the mackems home and away. The man is a legend for what he has done for us but this wasn't just an average season in the league, it has been an absolute nightmare. The choice is between gambling on him hopefully learning and turning it around in the summer as well as having a better transfer window than last... or finding a more dynamic coach that can operate/deliver a transfer window far better than our previous 2-3 mostly rubbish ones.

He rightfully sits at the head of the table, with Keegan, Robson, Rafa. But he's ran out of ideas, or surprises. No one person is bigger than the club. I honestly don't see how another Summer transfer period under him fixes anything. Happy to be proven wrong, of course. Very well said. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 The problem is we are just not potent enough for how we want to play. If you concede as many as you score there’s kinda a limit on what’s achievable. Too many players are incapable of consistently performing to a high level.

Geordie Ahmed Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 No doubt I'll be a lone or limited voice here but I'm still Eddie Howe in though today has been poor, as well as the league campaign overall Just want us to get this season out of the way as I just can't see us putting any sort of decent run together Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiseman Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I know logically this makes no sense, but fuck the logic. Hes got enough credit in the bank with me to get next season to give it another shot to put things right. Though I am starting to feel that he may not be able to do so, and it would be best for his legacy to leave by mutual agreement. I hate seeing him cop this every week, as hes the best manager we've had in a long time, but something does need fixing in the club,it feels stale and has for a while. Dropping 25 points from winning positions should cost most managers their job. Fucked if I know what the actual solution is, but saving sacking Howe just doesn't feel good to me either.

JoeyBartoon Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 4 minutes ago, John P said: So frustrating the lack of proactive changes in the second half. Miley hasn't played for months and plays the full game and looked knackered after 70mins. Same for Osula, we've got two strikers on the bench, use them. Elanga could have been on for Murphy who was completely ineffective. Just drifting along and hoping we hold onto the lead isn't good enough tbh This 100%. Also Ramsey should have started imo, looked like he was trying to prove that point when he came on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
