Oh well, can’t say I’m surprised the saudis have pulled out after all this time. Shame for the north east and the club though - goes to show how rotten the PL is.

He’s FURIOUS

Theres a chance it might not be true you know

Im not sure how Ashley could hold it up. If the deal is concluded conditional on receiving PL approval, then he could only interfere by meddling with the PL. who would likely tell him to fuck off

It might have something to do with my reluctance to migrate to LOU2.

You could get an entire team of Will Griggs for 50m. And still have money left over to repair the lift.

Those cones won’t put themselves out you know

Thanks that sounds tempting. I have grown quite attached to Kassandras rear view

I have LOU2 but I’m still trying to finish AC Odyssey at least to the point that the cult is wiped out completely. Still a grim zombie survival epic will make a pleasant change to all the greek sunshine and tits. I imagine.

Seems to me the PL are quite happy normally to sign off on crooks, gangsters, conmen, embezzlers and sweat shop owners. I wouldn’t be surprised if the saudis sue the wankers now.

The truly disgraceful thing is that it’s dragged on for so long, every cunt with an opinion has been got plenty of media attention. It should all have been sorted within a month. I suspect the PL legal team consists of a bloke called Tarquin who commutes from Bucks every day, takes 2 hour lunch breaks and leaves early to take his daughter to gymkhana. He checks the fax machine once a week, sends everything on to Freshfields for sign off and can only be reached from the generalenquiries@pl.com mailbox. He can’t make a fucking decision but he knows how to pair wine and cheese.

So this is what we’re reduced to, speculating about speculation. It’s gone on way too long, somebody should sue the PL for boring us to death.

15 years man and boy. Hardest game there is....

Yes @Ants, like he said. And congrats too

Arguably people get the pundits they deserve, in football at least. I suppose these are the people that the average fan would want to stand beside in the pub while they watch a match on the telly (however Sky figure that out). Personally I would want to bring a bottle down on the head of Merson. Followed by several extravagant kicks to the testicles.

I take my hat off to anyone who’s sat through this match. Just the stats - 38% possession, one shot on goal - indicate why NUFC under Ashley are such a joyless waste of time. Everything about the club including Bruce says mediocrity and boredom. It’s impossible to muster a single fuck about, well, anything. We’re now at the Lonsdale/Slazenger end of the spectrum that everyone predicted would happen under Ashley’s ownership. He’s fucked NUFC brand to the point where we’re completely hollowed out. Does anyone give a fuck from one week to the next about the football? Or what Kieron Dyer has to say? Or what Bruce’s plans are for the team, or who we’re going to sign next season? Take away the annual relegation drama and there’s very little of any interest. It’s all so boring. Bruce is the perfect manager for Ashley’s NUFC, wittering on in that strange high pitched voice about how nothing’s his fault and what a great job he’s done. Whatever Steve.

Exactly. Maybe English footballers don’t generally have enough grey matter to make top managers. Although generally I don’t like to generalise.

There might be an undercurrent of jingoism about this ‘Bruce is better than Benitez’ patter. It’s been a constant theme with pundits that you should give British managers preference, especially with the England job. Worked well with Allardyce.

The best you can say for Bruce is that he’s utterly mediocre. It’s hardly a vindication for Bruce’s supporters that he’s taken us from a mediocre position last year to a mediocre position this year. His record shows that’s all he’s capable of at his best. At his worst he will get us relegated. Unless you think we don’t deserve any better then I don’t know why anyone would want another year of Bruce.

And the fact they’re fucking shit

Bruce is the right manager for the club under the current regime. I’ve always despised him, and look forward to him being swiftly replaced if we ever escape Ashley’s sweaty paws.

he sounds like a lunatic talking to himself in his padded cell

Ok I’m out

Yes all the best
