    My view of the current situation

    We did Rob. And I was there for it. My first game was in 1983. But that’s my point. We’ve massively over-achieved and anything we’ve ever managed has come with a togetherness that other more normal clubs could only dream of. My worry is that we are becoming like everyone else…

    My view of the current situation

    How very flattering to be summoned by one’s fellow posters…. My alternative view? What a bunch of entitled and spoilt fans we have become. On January 14th 2009, we were 91st in the football league and 7 points adrift. And penniless and bankrupt. I know we are on a bad run, but please don’t...

    I guess you can tell how well a team is doing by the things it’s fans are disgruntled about….!

    Howe

    Thanks Rickie. Who would you like to see as his replacement out of interest? You got someone in mind?

    January Transfer Rumours

    You’d prefer us to sack him and get someone in who can be trusted?

    Neil Dawson - An Alternative View

    This might be one of my more random Alternative posts (GrumpyG, don't say it), but bear with me. Neil Dawson. I feel it's become fashionable to have a pop at the guy. SlowDownDerek and co have really turned on him in recent weeks, and he is starting to get shot down with a level of ferocity...

    Eddie Howe - An Alternative View

    I'm sure he has plenty of wise heads he can turn to for advice, and has never been afraid to ask for it to his credit

    Eddie Howe - An Alternative View

    Totally agree, I'm sure fatigue and exhaustion are a real problem. Pochettino at Spurs got them to a UCL Final and literally ran out of steam, after what was 5 years. Eddie is entering his 8th year since returning from Burnley. But the lot and support of a fan base can energise him; of course...

    Eddie Howe - An Alternative View

    Possibly, but as the manager that HAS to be his call. Truth is we aren't privy to 90% of the things that happen behind the scenes that affect what we watch for a few hours a week. The ownership agenda, players agents, players personal lives and the affect their decisions have on their work etc...

    Eddie Howe - An Alternative View

    I actually can't believe I'm even typing these words.....! We've had a bad 2019, and are currently in a bad place. Of that, nobody could disagree We've spent a lot of money, so can't blame that Not all of our signings have come off yet, that's true And at times we've made tactical mistakes...

    Ake

    It would suit the Ake camp (his advisors) for the player to leave for 40m, not 75m. It’s better that way.

    Ake

    It is definitely the case beyond players in Neymars bracket! And seeing as we don’t have any of those....

    Chris Mepham

    Steve Cook is a left footed CB who has adapted to playing in the right Mepham is a right footed CV who on Saturday showed he can play on the left options....

    Ake

    The bigger the transfer fee, the smaller his signing on fee and wages are. That’s why players run their contracts down as they do better on a free transfer. I fear we will lose him to Chelsea this January, as even if they don’t want him, they could sell him straight on at a handsome profit. As...
