There has to be an acceptance from Manchester United fans - your club is no longer the force it once was. Yes, it's one of the biggest clubs in the world but when it comes to the football - you're not title challengers, and won't be consistently for a very long time to come.

The sooner this is accepted - and managers are given time, and by time, I mean real time. Not months but a couple of years to implement a real style & then you will see progress. This consistent sacking of managers, and immediate pressure on the new one, simple isn't working.

There's a weird sense of entitlement when it comes to Manchester United - obviously built on the past success of Sir Alex Ferguson. But you're not that club anymore. You need to accept that - and look at the bigger picture. Progress takes time.

The comments to this. If the job is offered to Eddie Howe, I hope he turns it down. Deserves much better than the disrespect thrown his way by a very entitled fanbase.

I don’t think Eddie Howe and Man United are the right fit - and partly because of views like the one below. Howe is a fantastic manager but he needs time and patience at the beginning. Give him that, he’ll be a success. He won’t get that at #MUFC.
Eddie Howe would be the most underwhelming appointment as Manchester United manager for nearly 50 years since Dave Sexton?

Match Preview of Crystal Palace has landed. Two managers in a need of a win. Two managers being urged to change their tactics. It's got a draw written all over it. youtu.be/Y8x63TsZVr0

What an amazing night for football and to remember Sir Bobby ⚽. Our foundation Chair, Mark Robson was a special guest at last night's Champions League clash between two of his dad's former teams @FCPorto and @PSV. Thank you again to @FCPorto for your hospitality 💙.

Newcastle won’t get relegated. Newcastle won’t qualify for Europe - and in my opinion, I don’t think they’ve got the squad for it. So what is a success for this season? What’s realistic?
Is #NUFC’s squad good enough to qualify for Europe? When fit and firing, is that the aim for the season? Pleasure to welcome @sandell84 onto the pod, who thinks it is. I disagree. youtu.be/16khQfrniu4?si=Ft8S…

The debate on today's show will be... Do Newcastle United have a squad that can qualify for Europe this season, and should that be the aim? I don't think it should be but my special guest does... So we're having a discussion about it!
I’d like your views for an episode of the @EIBWPodcast I’m recording later. The current squad - on ability and fitness - where it should be aiming to finish in the league this season? What is realistic? Forget current form. What could this squad achieve? #nufc

Pleasure to have @DanRolinson of @ClaretBluePod back on the show talk all things #AVFC. He admits ‘he’s mildly worried’ about Saturday’s game! youtu.be/qjkYoa38jw8

Yesterday, John tried to instil some confidence by telling us: ‘this isn’t the Aston Villa of old.’ Eight hours later - they’ve thrashed Fenerbahçe six-nil. 🤣
NEW POD: youtu.be/DCjMF4flYDM 😱 Gibbo admits he's 'scared to death' about #NUFC - and ahead of the Aston Villa game is hoping, rather than expecting, a formation change!

Our foundation chair, Mark Robson, made a very special return to Langley Park Primary School - where his dad attended growing up in County Durham. Speaking with pupils, Mark shared more about Sir Bobby and what we're doing to advance cancer care in the future! #SirBobbyRobson

It's not taken long for those who felt Eddie Howe leaving was the wrong decision - to call out those who felt it was the right decision after the new manager has lost a game. I never understand this. It's like people are waiting for Matthias Jaissle to fail.

You can be sad Eddie Howe left. It was sad the way it ended but I'll always maintain that this club works at its best when it's united. It's a cliche - yes, but it's better than the alternative of posting 'are those fans who wanted Howe out, happy now?'

And to add, I'm not saying MJ is deserving of a free pass or that there aren't major concerns - I talk about them on the podcast. But my point is, it's still very early on in his reign. A new side, big names just returning from injury. Let's give it sometime before judging.
