    I know but you said is he engineering a move. Which I’m saying well if that’s the case let him go.

    He’s not really doing much good for us and he seems sulky. He also like Bruce because for all intense and purposes he let him do whatever he wanted. Both on the pitch and off it.

    It appears he doesn’t like this nee setup. Making me think he may be lazy.

    He plays for himself aswell. He had many opportunities to pass the ball easy and move. He choose to run at 3 defenders and lost it most times.

    I accept we're **** and don't blame Howe for that, but the mental weakness from these ****s has me slightly miffed today.

    Not an over reaction. Just a reaction to the real mess we are in.

    And make no mistake we are. And I believe things will improve. That’s because it can’t really get that much worse. Also because we have money (apparently we do) and we can hopefully buy ourselves out of the problem we are in.

    Which will take a long time. Maybe 3-5 years just to get back to a mid table team.

    That’s called the Bruce effect. Like snowflakes.

    Did you see any player on the pitch who looked angry or remotely bothered.

    Not 1, as soon as a goal goes in the performance nose dives.

    I agree. We see things quite similar.

    We match on we're still in the fight and even if we lose this years battle we will come back stronger than ever before.

    That is a fact

    And that’s a mindset thing which I don’t think Howe can change.

    We are where we are. I am looking forward to this season being concluded and then we can go from there.

    Personally feel like we might go down and would be politely surprised if we didn’t. But my head says the Jan transfer window is pivotal to that.

    Could it be that the takeover itself has had a negative impact on the current players mentality?

    Here's a thought. If a ridiculous corporate deal is signed in championship for multiple years there is nowt EPL can do about it as it would be "Historic"

    That’s why I believe they are trying to change the rules. The reason why it’s been blocked. The PL do not want it to happen.

    The deadline is 14th December for the sponsorship freeze. Which is beyond a joke anyways as they are again being anti competitive.

    I can see another legal battle commencing.

    I think the Saudis should get on the blower to pèresz and start up a super league

    I honestly think it'll be fine come May..

    This is the last 3 weeks of the Ashley regime really.. Just got to keep marching and take the final big hits then it'll start getting better.

    It's more than that - they are voting on ECL places - A motion was made to allow 2 teams to qualify from league position with the other 2 being awarded on a historic basis.

    Which is also anti competitive. That’s an absolute joke by the way.

    It devalues the competition to the point of what is the point of teams striving for better.

    It’s a money grab.

    Historic basis over a time period that suits.

    So anti-competition.

    It’s absurd it’s even being considered.
