Rafa

Long since had his day, his methods of man management are archaic. We couldn’t defend for pish under him, after having being solid last season. He brought his usual poisonous bitching with him and caused problems throughout the club. The ‘fit’ bollocks is just that, plenty were prepared to accept him, me included, but he’s turned out to be ****ing useless, so had to go. I hope you jump at the chance lol.

 

I did have hopes for Howe tbh, and saw him as an improvement on Bruce, but there's been no improvement whatsoever.

Record after 10 games is awful, and I would back Rafa with 18 games to go plus some choice in signings.

 

Well he says it and he’s been right on more than one occasion. Definitely about the timing.

He said that Rafa was going to be sacked regardless of the result. That they have already been in touch with Rooney and he is very interested.

 

Nah, he was doomed from the start at Everton cos of his Liverpool connection.

He sorted our defence (something that has NEVER been done with us), and built a team that could progress and we were in the ascendancy with him.

Poisonous bitching was cos you guys hated him from the off.

 

Me too mate but unfortunately the real Eddie Howe is the guy that got relegated without a fight.

Get rid

2 more games to get it right then get him out

 

He’s won one league game since September and the football / tactics were atrocious

 

So does Howe now start ****ting himself. Does the Rafa sacking put more pressure on him.

We all know McParland is good mates with Rafa.

 

Howes still got a bit of time tbh, but if we lose he next 2 or 3 then all of a sudden the question will be asked.


Many of the fans that chased Bruce out will try to save face by backing him where they didn't Bruce, but they'll crack soon.

 

I think I’m some respects the Rafa situation may make Howe a bit nervous. Buy all Howe needs to really do is try and get a CM and a CB and replace Shelvey and Lascelles.

If he does this by the end of the window then I will
be fully supportive.

If he keeps them both playing week in and week out I’m less inclined.

 

The new owners will more than likely give him this season at least., but rafas availability and what will soon be a fanbase that's removed its mask might become tempting of we lose the next matches

 

Interesting times. Things just got juicy.

 

I think what we need to remember is that relegation isn't the end of what will be a much brighter future in the long run

I'll get a season ticket and I'll just enjoy the fresh start


Next season whether we stay up or go down is the new owners 1st proper go at this game

 

Why the **** anyone would want him back is beyond me. The football under him was atrocious.
Sold Mitro, Armstrong and Toney and preferred Joselu up front.
Bought a load of ****e, particularly Muto, and unforgivably sold Mbabu.
He’s a dinosaur. Thanks, but no thanks.

 

Leeds next, and they're smashing West Ham now.

 

Because what he left behind was much better than what we've got now.

Needs must

 

I reckon Howe has got 1 game left.

 

Sold a bunch of championship level players who weren't good enough at the time. Didn't get his 1st choice players, instead was scraping the barrel for his 5th and 6th choice players.

 

Don't get me wrong I like Howe he says the right things, but I need results or I won't credit him.

Let's hope for two back to back wins

 

You know what. Me too.

I am happy for it to take a while. I think the penny has dropped for me that we are in a league of 4 now.

Win that brilliant.

Don’t win and well so what. We can start to get rid of some of the rubbish we have.

And get to see something different.

We are all sick of the sight of Shelvey Lascelles Clark Gayle Hayden And the like.

 

I honestly don’t think you will be relegated this season .

If I like your club or not , is irrelevant, I just can’t see it happening !
