someone who can do that if we want to be in Europe each season.

It was disruptive but our opponents last night lost their two strikers and manager in the summer, if NUFC reckon they are a top club they need to be able to cope with losing a good player. Howe also need to know how to train his team when they have two game each week. If he canโ€™t we need to find

March doesnโ€™t look great mind. We have resurgent Man U at SJP, away to Chelsea and then we welcome the Mackems to SJP. Lose that last one mind and that is one fucking absolutely shite season. As usual I am not sure we can win any of those March games- then it is squeaky bum time ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

replacement manager in than replace half your team to fit in with the manager. Next 4 games will be telling whether it is a long or a short goodbye. The CEO states we will be best in 4 years- so they need to rapidly improve whatโ€™s on the pitch

Not sure who the replacement is. That is the owners to answer. What I do know is from watching the team is that currently that team and that manager are not a good combo, something has to give. EH doesnโ€™t seem to have an answer to get the best out of these lads and it is a lot cheaper to get a

Agree, when saw those Feb fixtures- all bar 1 away I knew it would be โ€˜swim or sinkโ€™ time and it looks like we are sinking.I am not even sure getting to last 16 CL is worth it,other than the money is would bring in. We need about 10 points on the board to prevent a relegation battle, that priority.

08.02.2026 09:51 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

be very low. I think lose in Baku and EH may be toast as we then have an away game in Manchester again ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

These next 4 games will be telling. We say Spurs are shit at home, but West Ham hadnโ€™t won for 10plus games u until Dr. Newcastle arrived. Our away from is atrocious. I was at Anfield. It was so so bad. Quarabag may be our best chance but after losing at Spurs and likely Villa confidence will

The semi finals against Arsenal last season and this years against Man City are like light and dark arenโ€™t they? we have regressed so far it is something even me, being a half empty type of guy, didnโ€™t predict it would be this bad.

08.02.2026 09:33 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

And I think PIF will want a top
draw European player in, I hear the current Benfica manager is quite amoured with us. Not saying he is best answer to this tho. Next 4 away (!!) game will IMO tell us whether this is a long or quick goodbye. I could see EH resign is we lose all 4.

08.02.2026 09:27 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

It is clear this team and thus manager and coaching staff do not work together anymore so one needs to give, and doubt there is money to replace a whole team especially as EH wasted the best part of a quarter of a ยฃbillion in the summer. My prediction is that EH will go,

08.02.2026 09:27 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

On the pitch tells something different- our away form is atrocious, and even SJP is gash now- that performance last night one of the worst in EH tenure, which follows quick off one of the worst the other week against Villa, and we laboured for 3 hours to beat Bโ€™mouth in the cup.

08.02.2026 09:27 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I think a lot of our best players will want out. Odds on Tonali and Tino will be off in the summer, itโ€™s not the boos that will push them out itโ€™s the lack of wins- no European football, and lack of ambition from the owners. Yeah the CEO harps on about being best in just 4 years but performance

โ€˜Iโ€™m not doing my job well enoughโ€™ - Anyone reckon EH could resign if the next 4 away games go the way most away games go and we lose. We could be 13th if Bโ€™ton win 2moro and if Spurs win Tues only 1point off 14th. Lose to Villa next Sat and itโ€™s all but over isnโ€™t it? Would he resign? #NUFC

18 months! I want to see what they do the next 3 months! The next 4 games are away to Spurs, Villa (cup), Qarabag and back to our awful hunting ground Man City. Lose all 4 and the C Suite will need to grow some and so something about ir

Being looked at in the boardroom for the head coach.

Jesus wept give your head a wobble. He spent a quarter of a billion in the summer and we are utter shite. He will always be a legend at NUFC but people need to realise this team and this manager canโ€™t go on like this. One need to give. The next 4 games will Be telling but surely a replacement is

07.02.2026 22:26 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 4    ๐Ÿ” 1    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

battle (I donโ€™t think we will, reckon we will get at least 40ish points, probably 50ish) but the season is done and no Europe next season. The rebuild is then needed in the summer, but what is that rebuild ? a new manager or a total dismantling of this team but with Howe still at the helm.

07.02.2026 22:23 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I could see us losing all 4. Maybe a win in Baku. Definitely a loss down at London, Birmingham and Manchester, then the season, apart from a few CL games (and no chance of winning it) that is the season over before the winter is even ended. We have got to hope we donโ€™t get dragged into a relegation

07.02.2026 22:23 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I honestly can not see one team in the PL we are guaranteed to beat. We couldnโ€™t even get past Wolves and had to go to penalties against Bโ€™mouth the other week. The fortress that was SJP has been breached which is a huge concern. We were so poor tonight.

07.02.2026 21:43 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Of money. Jury out whether Ramsey is worth the money we paid too. Deep down I feel Woltemade may come good- he is just young, and Thiaw worth what we paid. The PL proven strategy lies at EH door though doesnโ€™t it? Despite all our best players came from abroad he went and spent ยฃ50m+ on Wissa ๐Ÿคฏ

07.02.2026 21:36 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Indeed, the whole Isak debacle was incompetent boardroom- as soon as Lpool was interested and Isak was interested it should have just happened. Think we thought Elitike was the prepared thing but when Lpool came askingโ€ฆ. The PL proven strategy was to me the disaster- Elanga and Wissa- total waste

07.02.2026 21:36 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I think questions need to be asked of management both owners and manager when ยฃ250m was spent in the summer and we are so gash. There isnโ€™t one team in the PL currently that i think we are odds
on to beat. We couldnโ€™t even beat Wolves FFS. Dr NUFC will no doubt turn up at Spurs on Tuesday.

07.02.2026 21:00 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Fair enough, I imagine theyโ€™re off the day after a game so am sure they can go out and let some steam off. Did they fly back from Liverpool? Cos itโ€™s a 3+ drive on the motorway.

07.02.2026 20:56 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Think if Iโ€™d just been bossed around at home to Brentford Iโ€™d be in the ale too. He will be in his Vermont penthouse maybe tonight? Or maybe he doesnโ€™t need that anymore now his wife has left him but then again you wouldnโ€™t bring some lass to your own place would you?

Someone would need to have a convo and see whether the person is interested, regardless they need to be working on a possible replacement in mind.

Thought he was just a glorified scouter? You could bring someone in until end of season.

I would say only reason to get rid now would be if weโ€™re at risk of relegation. However, owners/ board need to be looking now and have someone in mind/ have discussions with before May comes.

07.02.2026 20:44 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

By this time next week the whole season is over apart from a few CL play off games. There is zero chance we will beat Villa at their place. Lose at Spurs Tuesday and next Saturday and the writing has got to be in the wall for wor Eddie.

PIF take forever to make a decision so doubt itโ€™ll be something imminent. If he is sacked mid season who coaches the team? It wonโ€™t be his best pal will it? It took PIF a year to find a new CEO!
