Howay

You’d think playing Ritchie over playing a shite CM out of position would make sense. I’d say it’s clear Bruce is completely wrong that their bust up is over but it could just be a shit decision, as Bruce is genuinely that bad of a manager. Almost impressive he’s going to manage to take us down.

Aye, interesting and good unbiased information from Jacobs. Nice to see that wanker “Geordie Dentist” pitched in to act like he knows something and it’s all just speculation, despite Jacobs clearly saying numerous times he has gotten this from people involved , there’s a right group of wankers on NUFC twitter who fancy themselves as being involved in things that are fucking miles outside their remit and that fucking dentist that lives in the UAE is a prime one. I think it also makes the decision to stick with Bruce even more baffling too. Ashley and his team are trying to win this to clear the way for the consortium, a consortium that have likely told them (especially if they’ve really been open about it with Jacobs) that relegation would lead to a price drop in the £85m - £100m range, why wouldn’t they also try and do at least more than completely gamble on Bruce to keep the club in the league? Baffling.

Yeah it’s a weird one, his prior involvement with the law firm on the PL side as well as the messages to only that law firm are iffy too, especially as it was clearly enough for even the law firm on the PL side to become uncomfortable enough to say they should loop in NUFCs team. The process has been ropey from the start so I suppose it wasn’t going to get better. Like one of our points is even just simply make it more public and transparent, which the PL is fighting, what problem could that possibly even cause them if there’s no issue here? This is a big one for me, I’ve never understood this from the start. I know it’s how the deal was packaged but why was it ever structured in a way like this? It would be like giving Russia some type of control over broadcasting the NFL in the US, I wouldn’t say it’s unreasonable to expect the US wouldn’t tolerate that. I get the response to pirate it is a bit petty, as the correct approach was likely to just block it, but it’s a really odd position to put the countries in.

I find it interesting Bruce is now saying it’s all resolved after Ritchie apologized, so does this mean Ritchie received no apology (clearly got no public one) for Bruce throwing him under the bus like he did in the press? What a fucking dog shit manager Bruce is, there’s no way it’s resolved on Ritchies end of this is the case.

Aye, I think there’s no doubt Benitez was harsh but I think the difference is his criticism was coming from an angle of drive for improvement and kicking the club on, rather than throwing the team under the bus like Bruce is doing. I’ve little doubt Rafa had team members that disliked him, Shelvey being one, I also know that Ritchie used to basically bray down Rafas office door after every match as Rafa subbed him off nearly every game he played, but Rafa could always seem to manage that whereas Bruce seems to be squaring up to people.

Insanity. He’s also acting like this is the first time Bruce has tried to throw players under the bus. While perhaps this is the first time he’s called individuals out, he basically labeled the team as shit back in November and gave a “what am I supposed to do with this lot” type of response to questions. Sorry like, I find it extremely hard to believe the players wouldn’t be happy if this useless tosser got sacked.

Bruce has to be sacked now, he’s continually had digs at the players by blaming them for losses and I think it eroded at his authority but choosing to do this to Ritchie was a complete error (or master stroke if you think he’s just angling for a pay out at this point). Our form should have got him the sack but now losing the dressing room it’s surely over. Edwards is an absolute fuckwit btw, hopefully Newcastle fans remember this and it ends the losers career as a NE football journalist. Honestly don’t get what he’s getting out of kissing up to Bruce, not had a single interesting story and has lost whatever credibility he had.

You’re lucky I got the name right.

I’m not advocating their behavior but there are a portion of absolute fucking idiots on Twitter, and they’re part of a larger group Edwards regularly targets to wind up. He doesn’t have to constantly provoke them, but he does, again the people that do it are idiots but a fucking wanker like Steve Wraith pointing it out like this accomplishes nothing. If I went into a pub in Daisy Hill and go “everyone in here is a little cunt, and daisy hill is a hovel” I’d get a fucking hiding, does it excuse their behavior that I did that? No, but we know it’s going to happen, the same way that when Edwards constantly plays devils advocate to such a degree that it is just wummery he can’t be too shocked that wankers using anonymous accounts on the internet become threatening/ personal. I’d also say Wraith siding with him makes it all worse for the bloke. I really fucking wish Wraith would realize he’s not speaking on behalf of NUFC fans when he talks.

Aye this is the real reason. Relegation would probably suit the consortium, as the EFL would more than likely pass them without much contest and you’d assume they would get the club cheaper, the latter being exactly why Ashley wouldn’t sell and would gamble on us getting back up before trying to sell again. Utter fucking nightmare.

Aye think it was either the Russian WC or a European match he was covering over in Russia, the takeover bid caught him off guard and he had no clue what was going on with it so he just started being a monumental bellend instead of bothering to try and find out what was going on.

What a nob head he is. He’s ran around for the last two years with his fingers in his ears screaming about how Bruce is doing a good job, picking any obscure stat that he can bring up to back his point up and then going silent whenever a bad run happened. Then once it goes the way absolutely everyone with half a brain could see it eventually would go now everyone is being a big meanie to him. Maybe it’s time everyone just ignored the mouth breathing crony. He shouldn’t be covering north east football tbh.

Why the fuck did they ever see Bruce as a steady pair of hands who could keep the club in the Premier League? Did they just ignore his entire managerial career? As Alex said in another thread you’d really think relegation was the aim with the decisions they’ve made.

What an utter crock of shit. While I don’t think we are being sold, why would they pause any action currently going on because of this? There’s literally nothing anyone outside the playing and coaching staff can do at this point, they had opportunities to sack Bruce and get someone competent, as well as bring players in back in January. So now they’re just going to stand about and spending their time hoping something happens and just not bother doing any type of work so they can focus on hoping? What an utter fucking shambles or a club we are under this uninterested wanker, sadly a case where the fanbase doesn’t deserve this at all but relegation is something Ashley and Bruce really do deserve.

RIP, always came across as a nice bloke. I remember he had been having treatment for brain cancer shortly after being our manager?

and under that it probably has EPL, but looks like it could be EDL, I don’t imagine the latter is far from their political leanings.

“Hello Alex, aye it’s dad, your dad... it’s Steve. Aye yeah haha your dad, fuckin dozy cunt. Anyway what they saying about iz now on the tweets and that? They’re fuckin not are they? Not the cabbage again man, I’ll never shake that... right never mind that, you just say I’m proper gutted about being slated. I don’t know why I’m not fired man Alex, I’ve fucking tried the lot, I even called Charnley a little mug but he just ran oot the room and hid behind Steve Harper. Ritchie you say? Aye right, aye I’ll slate him, say he’s not telling the players what to do after I told him, I mean I already made Shelvey captain so shows I can’t care about communication but hopefully no one spots that. Who knows he might start on iz and I can whack in a bumper fucking compo claim! Ah kna man, every day I’m not fired is another day less in Benidorm, I was telling Jonjo he will love it, I said there’s plenty of shade under the Carling umbrellas. Anyway get yeself on talkSPORT or something this week, I’ve already got Keys backing me up. They hired that Jones man, he’s relentless so I told him to fuck off on the touchline... aye dead casual there was no way a camera picked up on it. I’ll be home aye, no only 4 packs of space raiders I’ll still polish the Bhuna off. In a bit!”

The midnight ride of the Micks was fucking phenomenal man . I think the cherry on top was their assumption that Bruce being one of them would bother us at all, he was completely fucking useless even back then (although by far their best manager in recent history). They went through all that and still barely got the proof they were outside SJP in the picture. Wonder whatever happened to Mick, lal Mick, and Uncal Mick. Likely a lot of below mediocre activities, little to no work, and just general failure.

I mean it surely is just trolling here. We’ve lost 10 out of 14 games, averaging a point per game, and are 4th bottom, there’s not a viable point for keeping him anymore. Keys is a sad little desperate man.

Fucking shambles of a manager, regardless of any individual errors you handle that behind closed doors ffs. Embarrassment of a bloke, honestly losing all fucking interest with this dildo in charge.

Why is this cunt our fucking manager. Why would you ever appoint this helmet? He’s a fucking loser, and brings a loser mentality to his teams which is part of the reason this is where they always are. He will be happy with that, a draw at home to a dog shit Wolves. We need to fucking win games like that, a point per game is an absolute disgrace. Just fucking sell the club Ashley man.

All that time, and space in the box and he just lifts it mid height at the center of the goal? Blast it into the top corner for fuck sake.

It’s interesting how we consistently have two or three players go off injured every game, something that didn’t happen this consistently under better previous managers. Bruce will blame bad luck, and no doubt some of it is but when it’s this consistent I’d argue there’s some poor training practices going on.

“illegal” imagine just going through life making it more difficult for yourself just so you can grandstand. Wear a mask you pathetic little bitch. Has the date been set for that mackem MMA fighter to choke the dozy cunt out? Or has he #chickenedout? #loser #softlad #feeblecunt

To be fair my opinion of him never changed after seeing him joking with his Man United mate after they hammered us, it’s still that he’s a massive fucking cunt and never was, and never will be a Newcastle United fan (which isn’t a stipulation of being NUFC manager, I just fucking hate the media try and say he’s one of us). I know he’s just a symptom of Ashley, and there will be another grossly unqualified lump given the job after him, but fucking hell I can’t wait until he’s not at our club anymore.
