The questions need to be asked. How much patience would you have if you had spent 400m and lose against Luton Town.
Howe seemed to be really good at home and really poor away with Bournemouth.
I think he’ll get to the summer and they will decide based on second half of this season
I agree I mean he deserves the benefit of the doubt over the sqaud management and poor form. It's better to see if things improve once we get everyone back and having freshened up the legs of key players.
I think it's inevitable he'll be replaced at some stage because they need to grow the brand and he's soooo super market sweep.
The problem is I think, given time and money to replace 6-8 players which will take a few transfer windows, he will do well and win a trophy
I think he has a lot of credit in the bank and deservedly so, I think this season is a write off at this point but I'd give him next season and see how we go rotation and injury wise.
The transfer strategy needs looking at though as it seems to have regressed

I'm not sure I think his style of play is the problem. I noticed Howe looking very anguished Today which tells me he's beginning to come under pressure.
If we keep losing into early February he'll be in bother.
But has the transfer strategy regressed? In short but no one could have foreseen Barnes getting that bizarre injury and in that’s game he could have easily been the one to make the difference. Tonali would have started today and we would have looked stronger in midfield.
The strategy was right but Sod’s Law kicked in with injuries and the ban
I'm wondering if Howes had to much say on transfers because early on we got some brilliant ones and since then it's been crap.
Or the players have been burned out which is what I think I'm seeing. Bielsa and howe have some similarities.
Regressed is probably a strong word but to me it seemed like early on we targeted weak positions to strengthen, in the summer it felt more like who could we get in for the price even if its a relatively stronger position for example Barnes on the left wing who I do rate.
This might of course have been budget related but it was clear to me that center back was in need of reinforcements.
I think Roland was right about the summer activity. Barnes and Tonali are great but those were not required as much as cbs and a right winger.
If we win the F.A.Cup the season won’t be a write off.
Thats what I mean it seems to have gone from a targeted approach to who is available
