    There's so many that have burrowed themselves into this idea Howe is not right about anyhing and worsening everything.

    I've noticed that they attribute everything negative to Howe, but if somethings does work, they credit the owners or even journalists at this point.

    Like seriously

    Which is why I said it's very early to judge. He's played at 2 other clubs though of course.

    Once you start rolling with everythings you're being unrealistic. I think you're overly negative.

    Actually you proved my point folders.

    Folders is now scurrying around and realising I have both complimented and credited Howe just like with previous managers like Steve Bruce.

    Unfortunately not many were actually capable of it with Bruce or Pardew... I was though, so perhaps this post wasn't aimed at me?

    I have repeatedly had back and forths for years surrounding credit when due and vice versa.. There's no agenda, no emotional bias, and it's fair.

    Do you accept that Howe does indeed make mistakes just like the club are also?

    Howes a good manager but he’s not elite yet.

    Howe makes many mistakes. We needed a goal yesterday and he brought on Osula on the 90th minute.

    Thats almost insulting?

    Cheers GG everyone has flaws I think that's very different to blaming everything on someone.

    I wouldn't care I always credit when due.

    I'm a bit overboard sometimes but I try to be fair.

    Indeed. That’s a fair point. Being balanced and saying it for what it is should be ok.

    People do get very defensive mind.

    At Man United he's wasn't great... So far Elanga has got into good areas and then nothing comes.

    It remains to be seen how things work out, but for clarity my entire comment was based on what's we've seen so far and at know point have I written him off.

    There's exclusivity involved within the use of 'so far'

    Apologies for any misunderstanding.

    We paid 55m for him. Have we lost the plot. The kid should be able to cross a ball and beat a GK in one on ones.

    Footballers these days are so over rated.

    Folders was actually driving from Wetherby Services.

    <laugh>

    The fact you comment in generalisations inevitably means most of your comments about 'fans' etc are wrong. But you keep dreaming.

    It's always important to use general terms if that's what you're talking about.

    I think I've used the term some fans or American fans maybe, but nothing to get upset about.

    I've been very open minded on a number of situations, that's all.

    Did you get another pasty?

    Of course EH makes mistakes. He's human. Everyone makes mistakes. Pep makes mistakes. Slot made mistakes last year and mistakes in probably most if not every game.

    It's all a question of trying to look at the bigger picture and not obsessing on single issues.

    EH is not an elite manager but then again no elite manager would presently come here. He is an excellent manager and coach and the best manager we have had IMO in my lifetime (yes, better than Keegan) and is the best manager available to us atm.

    Are there things I think he should have done differently? Yes, especially during games. But nobody else that would have come here, again IMO, would have achieved what he has in his time here and most especially nobody posting on this Board. <laugh>

    Perhaps like myself you should have afforded Steve Bruce the credit he was due from time to time

    Just saying because it would perhaps be nice if you ever acknowledge that I did that? Never mind assert I blame everything on Howe.

    I'm might be irritating, but I'm genuinely not going after managers, so it's a tad unfair on me this one mate.
