Saying Howe got Bournemouth relegated is barrel scraping on another level, in 6 years he took them from league 2 to the premier league and established them there. He's a complete legend at Bournemouth.

Might not be the right guy for us long term, but what he did at Bournemouth was remarkable.


He did get relegated so what I said earlier was just factually correct.
 
He’s not adaptable, is too loyal and puts too much emphasis on loyalty and hard work. It undid him at Bournemouth and it’s undoing him here.


He needs replacing for all kinds of reasons somewhere down the line including attracting players... we're acting like lidl.

And also utterly ****ing stupid if you're trying to say Howe is a bad manager. He is literally one of Bournemouth's best managers of all time.

I'm not saying he's perfect, but you have literally just said what Steve Bruce said when he was whining like a bitch at getting sacked and being replaced by Howe.

I said what I said so stop with the IFs Charlie..

Can I once again say something I said before your last rant which was that I have my view that Howe won't be the manager to take Newcastle where is wants to go and you have your view which is fine.
 
The ref was fine until that pen but Newcastle deserved to lose by a much bigger margin anyway.

A long season then hopefully things will improve.
 
We're battling to get our best levels back," Howe told BBC Sport. "The effort and determination was there. As long as we continue to see that we'll be fine.

"The most important thing is we're fighting. We're missing a lot of players, we've had a lot of tough fixtures in a congested December."

Also from this match where we are apparently “fighting” and “battling” (horrible Brucey-type words):

Liverpool recorded the highest expected goals in Premier League history and the joint-highest shots on goal this season
 
Also from this match where we are apparently “fighting” and “battling” (horrible Brucey-type words):

If Bruce had lost this many 7 from 8 he'd be getting it big time and he had much worse squad. Howe I think has ridden the takeover wave , run our players into the ground Biesla style and is just standing there like a mouse on the touchline.

Ultimately if results don't improve he'll he gone and once nufc lose the next 2 prem games he will be fighting for his job.

Sacking him when the opportunity arrives might be the best thing to do...top players don't fancy it right now and we need help attracting them and just a better manager at the end of the day.

Not bedwetting. I’m just concerned with the form, attitude of some players and the words that are coming out of Howes mouth.

7/8 defeats now. In three games that could easily be worse.

It’s the January transfer window and we are getting players back. But form is there for all to see.

It is worrying.

This is going to get worse and then hopefully in February start to improve.

All these good characters are getting beat every game now.
 
Two things really stand out - the manner of this defeat, and the fact no sooner does one player come back, another disappears with a soft tissue injury. Read something about Botman playing for two matches with a minor ACL tear, no wonder Howe kept quiet about it, claiming he didn't quite know, because it's just so amateurish.

The Head Physio departing potentially could be finger pointing. At some point Howe's going to be accountable. All this talk of credit in the bank is fine if it's just bad luck, but we've spent £375m and are getting absolutely battered by Forest let alone Liverpool.

Steve Bruce finished 12th with a far worse squad and stats like losing 7 from 8 would be lambasted for sure.

Ultimately Howes not a top level manager and newcastle need one. BTW Howe stood there last night trying to say we played well when we broke record's for being ****.

Fail to beat the Makems and it's Thanks Eddie and goodbye ... there might be a job at Crystal Palace soon.
