Howay

One of the people being linked is Hansjorg Wyss, who is 86 and apparently worth $5.6Bn so it would be somewhere around half his net worth. I assume the press are just googling billionaires if that’s the links they’re coming up with?

For a price point that high, there’s only one man for the job imo. It’s a man with a track record of putting together loads of unnamed consortiums, which have resulted in MULTIPLE fake bids.

Isn’t he asking for £3B? It honestly seems like just a gesture to take the heat off and make it look like he’s trying to sell to ward off any asset stripping situation. Maybe he thinks alongside the public statement where he has distanced himself from running the business, he thinks if he’s showing he is trying to sell it the UK Govt might be okay leaving it with that.

Only they could possibly get excited about that. Trust fund kid attends event ffs, reading into it like “he’s getting our name out there mixing with big teams and talking us up” - what the fuck does that even mean? What would talking them up even do? Do they think that’s what got Manchester City to where they are now, just randomly have their owners hang about places other owners would be to “talk them up”? Staggering stupidity. They just have to accept reality, they’re just a no mark lower league side. No one gives a fuck about them besides Newcastle fans having a laugh about them. The highlight of their recent footballing history is rotting out the bottom of the top division, but aye massive club. Will the effects of mammys boy talking them up help next season? Or should we wait a while?

I hope they get to enjoy him for a while longer then. They don’t get off the hook after 6 games or whatever it is, being on the side of “he’s treat harshly” after we had him for 2.5 YEARS! Hope he’s there for ages, Brummy cunts.

What a fucking loser he is. Why the fuck do clubs keep employing the lazy bastard?

Of course there’s one that’s convinced he remembers it happening to someone off SMB by a Newcastle fan 🙄. Fair play to most of them for saying it’s lifting craic, have to be an absolute cunt to do something like that tbh.

The defensive stats are absolutely staggering tbh, which is insanely encouraging given that was Howes area of weakness in his last job. He is clearly constantly improving and is hungry. Of course many will laugh at Staveley’s “we want him to be our Sir Alex Ferguson” comment but he’s basically the same age Ferguson was when he took over Manchester United, I’m obviously not saying he is going to be that level of manager but it shows how young he is and how much time he has to improve and grow as a coach. The people on the outside can scream all they want that it’s purely down to money, the same way they’re all still laughing that we rate Joelinton and he’s playing CM, in time they’ll learn how wrong they are. The same people were laughing at us signing Burn and Targett a few weeks back as well.

It is mental mind, he’s such a presence in central midfield you can see many opposition players just want no part of it. He’s been integral to this turnaround, and honestly we can’t heap enough praise on the bloke. From the position of being a laughing stock, he put his head down and just worked hard and now with this change in position it’s all clicking into place. If he can improve his range of passing, and start to improve his composure in the opposition area (not just shooting btw at times his head does seem to go in the area) he will be a complete midfielder. It’s just mad to be at the point where I wouldn’t bring in a Bissouma type, as I genuinely don’t think it improves on Joelinton . As I note above the manner of his hard working turnaround means it’s impossible not to be fucking buzzing for the bloke, the new ownership puts us in this weird new territory where we can just sit back and enjoy the growth in the player without fearing a “Joelinton is linked with a move to … this summer”. I can honestly see him getting a Brazil cap soon they play Fred regularly and he’s honestly not fit to lace Joelintons boots.

In a game we had 63% possession and 11 shots on target to their 1, but aye Paul who knows eh. The next few years of watching Merson twist and bitch is going to be fucking hilarious.

Postponed games btw he is aware we haven’t played those fixtures yet aye? Hopefully he gets his wish and can enjoy the national league shortly enough.

Saying “why can’t we be like…” is very different from saying “we will be…” but I’m past thinking Edwards has the brain power to comprehend that (I know he’s likely being a wum but I ignore that now and just take the assumption it’s his actual beliefs as he’s offered no sensible commentary on anything to give me any reference point besides his usual bilge).

Really comfortable win in a professional manner. Sure they were down to 10 men most the game but we didn’t allow them to do anything and looked a constant threat even with all of our injuries.

I don’t understand the mackems, you’d never know they hadn’t won a single game since Defoe had come in.

Me neither, Jonny Evans brother apparently. It’s also Corry but much like Donaldson actually being called Donald nobody knows him enough or cares. People also stopped updating the career statistics part of his Wikipedia page a season and a half ago. What a club.

Does he think the same should have been done when he done his knee playing for England? Just let play crack on while he lay there, I mean who knew? Just get up and run it off you never know could have just been a bump to the knee. What a total fucking waste of time Michael Owen is. Btw speaking as if he was this nails player, he was soft as fucking clarts - not that concussion protocols are anything about “being nails” but it’s an opinion I’d be expecting from a Lee Carsley.

Reading through those threads man. What a fucking pack of cunts they are. I really fucking wish “Sunlin til ah die” had kept going, could you imagine the episodes we’d be getting by this point. Fucking “witty”.

Not that he should have ever had the job but after that Chelsea game was the time to sack him, there was a 2 week international break and then a couple of games we could have gotten points from but of course mr hair island lost them both before being sacked. Only 2 points off survival that season, probably a good chance we stayed up if the change had been made then.

Aye that’s why the “just pack it in he doesn’t manage your club” crowd (including Edwards) can fuck right off for me. We endured nearly 3 years being derided as if we were this deluded horde of abusive idiots, who were treating a manager worse than any manager in the history of the game and doing it towards a manager who was doing a really good job, when the reality was we were watching some of the worst football our club has played in the PL era and all the games were behind closed doors so there was no abuse. All the while Bruce was just shrugging and giving it the “eeeee whys it happening to me eh, horrible this lot” schtick. Now we have been proven emphatically right, by both Howe getting an almost immediate tune out of the same players, and Bruce doing an absolutely shocking job with WBA, they don’t get to shy away from being mocked for talking absolute fucking shite for 3 years by saying “well he’s not your manager anymore and he finished bottom half twice”. I hope WBA finish bottom half tbh.

I saw things to be pleased about in the first-half, but the one thing I have learned from the second half is change - change is difficult for them. “They have played a certain way and to try and implement change is something I will look at too. I probably took them out their comfort zone when we were chasing the game in the second half, but I wanted players on the pitch who could maybe score a goal.” Fucking hell man already using the “they can only play the old managers system” card, he’s genuinely just going to cycle through the exact same excuses he used while at us. What an absolute disgrace the bloke is. Just saw the below comment. Glad Ross can enjoy him now what a fucking Brummy whopper.

It’s hilarious that they always struggle so much with Burton. You genuinely couldn’t make it up tbh. So now Wycombe, Sheffield Wed, and Pompey can all catch/overtake them since the mackems have played so many games. Enjoy league one nonce sympathizers.

I might also be misremembering but I can’t recall Kinnear constantly blaming/insulting the fan base like the others did.

Very attune to things like that the mackems. Even to the point they are incapable of making packed lunches, that they’ve been making without fail for 60 years, because of tensions in Ukraine. I assume the constant pressures of the geopolitical climate is why they’re seemingly such a pack of workshy bastards, can’t bring themselves to get out of bed with the stress of it all. I also assume it’s what caused all of Shaun Middletons teeth to fall out. Btw, I find it hilarious that they keep getting all excited whenever some random Italian junk news source pulls that PiF want to buy Inter story up again, have they genuinely not realized by this point it’s complete and utter fucking nonsense . Without fail though whenever it’s reported anywhere, regardless of how clearly untrustworthy the source, they’re buzzing about it. They then immediately start acting like it has happened “just a feyydahhh club them marras”.
