Well, Old Sparky is always available to help Bonney out <whistle>

Pulis lives in Bmouth, and it's long been his dream job. But Eddie has always presented a brick wall for him. Maybe not now.

A much more likely option than Hughes, I would suggest.
 
This just adds to the feeling that Norwich v Bmouth next weekend is the first proper must-win of the season (being for Norwich). If Norwich can't even win at home against this Bmouth team, they are gone. (They very much look gone as it is.)

It's not quite a must-win for Bmouth also, but very close. Maybe a must-not-lose. I'm not really sure where you turn if you lose to Brighton, West Ham, Watford and Norwich in successive matches - potentially without even scoring one goal. Fair play if you manage to pick yourselves up from that.

Losing 4-0 to West Ham this season should be anyone's lowest point of the season. It's not even Bmouth's lowest point of the month.
 
Bmouth conceded the same number of goals as fouls.

I'm not saying that they need to become dirty, but that says a lot. Too nice? Too weak? Too lacking in effort? A mixture?
 
It potentially depends on what Chelsea see his market value as. Bmouth apparently rate him at around £60m. If Chelsea do too, then signing him for £40m makes sense even if they don't want him - because they could sell him on for £60m, and make themselves an easy £20m profit.

Chelsea's position is actually very problematic for Bmouth. Whilst Chelsea don't put a bid in, Bmouth can just sit back and reject any offers which don't meet their £60m valuation. But the moment Chelsea offer £40m, and trigger the clause, Bmouth cease to have any reason to be rejecting bids for (say) £41m.

Although what's more problematic right now for Bmouth is being 2-0 down at home to Watford. Sinking like a ship since October, with no signs of it changing. This off the back of the 4-0 thrashing by West Ham. Eddie might finally be under pressure.
Agreed.
First time Howe has really been under pressure - downwards, if that makes sense. Maybe he’s only good on the up?
 
Emi Buendia would be somebody I would be looking at if Norwich go down

And for somebody completely unrealistic Grealish
