I just think we need to quickly get to a back line of: Ramsdale, Tino, Thiaw, Botman, Hall With Pope, Tripps, Schar, Burn dropping to the bench. Not intended as hurtful, we just need to progress and continually upgrade.
Howes mentality is all about loyalty. He just isn’t a ruthless manager and would also appear to be quite stubborn. On a side note I do wonder why YAR was here yesterday. I can’t believe he personally went to Isak's house to try and persuade him to stay. So it must be other things.
He was gutted after the game.. Any doubt about him caring is gone imo. Things will be better in a year or two but this season will probably be similar to 2 years ago. Howe will probably get taken off the club somewhere down the line, players will do an Isak, but it'll be good in the end.
Aren't the new CEO and DoF officially starting next week? If so Maybe YAR and Rueben were meeting them. And having emergency talks about the rest of this transfer window.
