Think that would be make or break time for him to see if he was the man to take us all the way or we bring in a finisher like Conte at that point. Would be soul destroying if he was replaced now. Really want to see Eddie and his team continue to grow and succeed. Absolutely want him to be the guy to finally have us lift a trophy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Nah, you don't do "evolution" not "revolution" with Mourinho. He'll just sign his own players, not bother improving the squad, and won't use any youth players, even if they are a Salah or de Bruyne. That's what history says. To Mourinho's credit, he is not finished when it comes to winning the odd thing and did so as well as anyone at Man U. It was very Spursy of them to sack him just before a cup final he may well have won for them. Anyway, sounds like BS to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiseman Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 The owners see this club as a long term project, Mourinho for all his success is a journeyman manager who doesn't do long term projects. Replacing Howe with him now seems at odds with everything the owners seem to be wanting to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I’d walk away for good if they let Howe go for Mourinho who is finished as a top manager, where as ours has only just started. That said, these rumours are total bull shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Even if Howe took such a downturn that he's out of the door soon (which I don't think will happen), I'd be disappointed if we just threw money at Mourinho. Past his prime, complete waste of Howe trying to get the team playing more expansive and would lumber us with a bunch of expensive 30-somethings before flouncing off two years later, leaving us with little FFP wiggle room and no coherent long-term plan.

Emotic Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I don't know why that rumour has generated any discussion at all, it's clearly the most made up of made up things. And the only basis I can fathom is that our new owners were looking at him when they were first thinking of buying the club, almost two years ago. Cut, paste, get all the rage clicks.

jonny1403 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 (edited) There's a very real chance we finish two points off 8th place assuming Wolves lose to Liverpool. Insane. Edited May 18, 2022 by jonny1403 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 It's what ifs and things don't work this way, but if we had managed two or three wins during that barren spell under cunt, we'd have been challenging West Ham for Europe.

Paully Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 0 wins after 14 1 win after 20 12 points after 20 He simply must be manager of the season unless Liverpool win the league! What a job he has done and I hope he’s here for many years! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine margins in a few games, Southampton at home where we conceded in the 96th minute after taking the lead in the 90th, Watford away who we battered, Chelsea away where we should've got a pen and definitely deserved a point and Man Utd at home who we fully deserved to beat. 7 extra points there, if we had them we'd be on 53 points right now. 3 off West Ham.

Mazzy Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Next season is going to be one of the most intriguing in recent history. Not only because of the way the World Cup mid season will affect every single Premier League team but also because of the way Howe has changed us in a few months and made us part of that conversation for Europe. It used to be the Big Four, then it became the Big Six. Next season I reckon there will be 11 clubs who believe they are good enough to qualify for Europe and who will spend accordingly. The usual six plus, West Ham, Wolves, Leicester, Aston Villa and Newcastle. Its going to be incredibly difficult for Howe next season, every team will be strengthening and every tiny detail will matter. I do have every faith he and the sqaud are capable of it but I won't be pinning all my hopes on us finishing top 6 next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Wolves and Leicester will be having quasi-overhauls in the summer; loads of players at Wolves are leaving and Rodgers earlier in the season admitted a similar sort of thing. Plus Wolves have been poor for a couple months now and Leicester by their recent standards this season have been poor and could well be again given who could be leaving and bedding new players in. West Ham will likely still be up there next season but Villa I'm not too sure about, depends who they sign I guess but I haven't been blown away by them. Brummie could probably tell us more. We just have to get our recruitment spot on. If we do, I don't see any reason why 9th-6th can't be achievable. We have momentum and unity akin to the 90s and have been in Champions League form since January 22nd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson not being fouled by the Brighton keeper when clean through gets us another two points closer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
