Dummett, Hayden, Ritchie, Hendrick, Fraser.. everytime I think of these players it makes me think of Ashley/Bruce.

Hayden especially, literally stealing a living. Just end their contracts man.
 
It's been going on decades... our fans saying we've got dummett.. I know everything is great but I'm sick of the sight of him.

The clubs in the champions league ffs
He's only needed for the CL home grown club trained numbers. Hopefully won't actually be needed on the pitch, especially not in CL.

Ending contracts up front would cost a fortune in wages. Would kill our FFP situation. Sadly.

What's his other option ? He can't exactly come out saying those players are crap.
He doesn't need to make any verbal statement at all - he chose to renew both players contracts for this season. It was probably for the CL home grown quota in Dummett's case, but whatever the reasons, these contact renewals are proof that Howe still thinks they are both worth that wage expenditure.

He's the coach basically he's not exactly running the financial side of the business.

Paul Dummet is not good enough for top half never mind champions league ! howe knows it, I know it and you know it.
 
Now that's an atmosphere... pisses all over England much like the South American and Eastern European fanbases.

Right, he didn't realise their wages would continue to be paid when he instructed the club to extend and/or renew their contracts then.

He doesn't have the option to sell the because they're **** and on higher wages than the **** clubs can afford. They'll also be good little boys and not complain about being on the bench every week.

He knows fine well he needs champions league quality.

Both were end of contract, so club didn't need to sell them. Coud have just cut the wages, but he wanted them to stay and club offered new 1 year extensions

He didn't need an option to sell either player as both of them were out of contract this summer - they and their wage costs would have been off to pastures new. However, Howe wanted Ritchie to stay, worked on persuading the player to do so and then activated an option the club had to extend his contract by a year. Dummett was offered a new one year deal.

Let's simplify it ..... they're crap.

Because they're players he wants around the place not because he thinks they're the answer to champions league football.
