The red flag was not keeping Rangnick. That was it.
What is the point?Think you’re missing the point.
No it's not ffs.Top 4 is long gone.
He has signedI'd have a lot of respect for him if he quit and called everyone of them cnuts.
That our fanbase are clueless, way too tolerant, standards way too low, deluded, and stuck in the past.What is the point?
Look what Howe has done. He took over when bottom of the table.Again this needs to be said that Ange has Tottenham top of the league after losing their best player. We have gone backwards to the point we are worse than the end of Ole’s tenure.
Probably happy clapping along to managers that aren't up to the task and lowering standards year-on-year. All this for a full fecking decade now. Yeowzers.What is the point?
Of course it is. Thinking we can get top 4 is like thinking Sheff Utd can get Europa leagueNo it's not ffs.
Top 6 is gone, how can you expect a team who can't score in a brothel to finish top 4-6?No it's not ffs.
A lot of it was. But somehow with £400m Ten Hag has replaced them with worse.Remember when we all thought the problem was McFred and De Gea
’We can’t play out with De Gea’
Not trueHe has signed
Malacia
Eriksen
Martinez
Casemiro
Antony
Mount
Onana
Hojlund
Amrabat / Weghorst / Sabitzer on loan
He has total control of transfers.
He should be sacked for this alone.. who the feck is he going to call out?? he is the fecking problem.
Mc part of that equation is still here. We need to sort that out before thinking about the manager.Remember when we all thought the problem was McFred and De Gea

Howe has an actual footballing structure and a settled culture at the club though.Look what Howe has done. He took over when bottom of the table.
Realistically no. But 11 goals, 5 defeats in 10 games doesn’t bode well for a top 4 finish.No it's not ffs.
Ah the famous footballing culture Brucie left behind in the relegation zone.Howe has an actual footballing structure and a settled culture at the club though.
Howe would be doing about as well as Ten Hag if he was here instead, I think.
Would a better structure have kept Mourinho, Ole, Ragnick employed. Have those respective managers moved to other clubs and amassed success ?I think the vast majority would welcome a new manager once we change our whole sporting structure. Klopp had a fantastic structure in place at Liverpool and Michael Edwards struck gold with plenty of the early targets he identified.
I, for one, think that as fans we obsess far too much over who our manager is and get too emotionally invested in them. I would rather we had a world class footballing structure in place that identifies a specific criteria of manager and player for the club, with a very clear vision in place. This would enable our managers to act more as coaches and drill a playstyle into the players.
The current structure we have is a fecking mess; we've gone through a tonne of poor managers and players - while spending close to a billion quid - and had zero discernible success to show for it. Sacking ETH now, and operating as we have been doing for the past decade, likely will lead to the same failures. For what it's worth; I think as fans we've been far too passive with most managers and given them way too much slack.
Yep, they haven’t even signed big names. Just sensible transfers all round and young hungry players who will give their all every game. Look at their full back options ffs. Blow us out the water in every department and at this point our team is basically names only. None of our players live up to their reputations in the past. Just all complete bottle jobs who can’t handle the pressure. The manager doesn’t have a clue what he’s doing either and the fact the club let him sign all this garbage just says it all. What a complete fecking joke.Look what Howe has done. He took over when bottom of the table.
That's a brilliant point, let's get rid and try again. I'd rather do that than keep this shit showing going.Look what Howe has done. He took over when bottom of the table.
I'm sure most people on here have played for a really bad 5 or 7 aside team that loses their heads and everybody just runs around like kids trying to start fights..... that is Ten Haag ball.Can someone please tell me what the system is? What is Ten Hag football?
Newcastle were in the doldrums before Howe took overHowe has an actual footballing structure and a settled culture at the club though.

I can’t fault fans going and supporting the team, what do you expect them to do? Boo from the first whistle? Bring white flags? I’m expecting a pretty hefty booing at this final whistleProbably happy clapping along to managers that aren't up to the task and lowering standards year-on-year.

Can't keep blaming culture or the board or this or that. They have zero to do with a manager having no ideas or any sort of footballing structure on the pitch, we are the pits to watch. What are our patterns of play, defensive structure, and how do we build up?Howe has an actual footballing structure and a settled culture at the club though.

It's been said a lot, but he was never the man making transfer decisions at Ajax, and he's brought in Ajax players who were dominating in Holland and took that confidence into the CL - now we Ave Eredevise level players who are low on confidence because they can't hack the PL.We all fell for it, we were bluffed by him, the media, and his time at Ajax. Also if we didn't hire him for his philosophy at Ajax then why did we?
Yet Brighton play great football with Milner and Lallana pulling the strings….Newcastle with Longstaff etc. We can’t put 2 passes together and play the worst brand of football in the leagueMc part of that equation is still here. We need to sort that out before thinking about the manager.
It's funny as we have bought half the Ajax team haven't we?I hope at some point he goes into detail on his recent quotes about not wanting to implement the style of football he played with Ajax here because, on face value, seeing him say what he did was probably the final nail in his coffin.
Absolute nonsense. What settled system? They were bought out last year.Howe has an actual footballing structure and a settled culture at the club though.
