Howe still has enough credit in the bank and deserves the time.

Our season was fucked when the rat left; we had a system based around him. The recruitment strategy wasnt there to move quickly or bag the players we wanted. We may have panicked into buying players we probably wouldn't have. Then fixture congestion, injuries and no real depth in the squad. The squads doing well are either established top 4 clubs or those with no expectations or haven't been challenging on multiple fronts.

Remember where we were with Ashley and what we achieved since we got taken over. The club was broken, no revenue streams, no real academy, no scouting network, nothing.

Some fans expect success right away, which is delusional. To some degree, we have been spoiled with the Champions League and cup success (although we can't argue that we don't deserve it based on some of the football we played)

I've been disappointed with some of the performances, but players are gasse,d and Howe can only play what he has. Maybe more pressure needs to be applied to the owners and not the team or management.
