Howay

I can’t wait for him to let Bruce spunk a fortune up the wall, like he did for McLaren while Rafa wasn’t even allowed to spend what was recouped. As if there are people seriously on about “wheeyyy we just need to back him man”, this is an absolute joke, we’re going from Rafael Benitez to Steve Bruce whatever the club do off that back of the support will never ever be capitalized on, I mean when we somehow came 5th all they bought was Anita which sent our best player into a protest I actually hope we go down, and this time fucking stay down, if this abhorrent cunt is going to make moves like this I hope that for once he doesn’t somehow luck into a bloke who can rally everyone and have the squad over perform like Hughton and Rafa, so that way he finally takes the hit for the shit he’s serving up.

Why give Bruce any support? He knows exactly what he’s doing by taking this job, there’s no way he thinks we’ll be kicking on up the league, or that it’ll be a step in his development as a manager, it’s just one final PL season with the money that comes along with it. He’s a shite manager, he’ll be shite for us, the football will be shite, and we’ll be odds on for relegation.

“Couldn’t lie straight in bed”

That’s about it for me, what’s the fucking point? They essentially lost Benitez because they wouldn’t guarantee him a transfer budget, or improve the youth/training facilities, and now they’re appointing Steve fucking Bruce. Anyone who is saying to give him time or any of that shite is talking fucking twaddle, all of this is far beneath the level NUFC should be, not the shambolic version it currently is as like Ant says this fat mess is burning any bridge he crosses, but the version it should be with even a fucking modicum of caring internally towards football. I am very loathe to blame fellow fans, and I completely understand Renton about having already paid etc, that’s all fine but anyone renewing from this point forward (so after this coming season), short of a change of ownership, is bonkers. The football is going to be fucking dire, the players are going to be absolute fucking shit, and we’ll be struggling for promotion which if we get we’ll be doing exactly what we are doing now. I hope the stadium does begin to empty out, I know it’s highly unlikely/I’m not sure what they would do anyway but the PL wouldn’t be happy at all seeing a half/mostly empty stadium which would reduce televised games and hit this fat ugly vindictive cunt in the only place the fucker cares about. At least he is fat, with what seems a very unhealthy lifestyle, all increasing my chances of outliving him and maybe seeing NUFC do something.

Aye it’s fucking staggering, we appointed a bloke who was sacked by a League One side followed by a bloke who was sacked from a Championship side (and as you say had turned his fucking nose up at us to stay there ). Maybe the Bruce appointment does make sense, as going off that track record they may actually believe he’s a competent manager.

I thought he had turned it down, it could have been either tbf since the pockets on Ashley’s major relaxed fit NoFear jeans must reach down to his mini hooves.

The best things about this thread are it used to be called Mike Ashley — Football genius and the fact that you can’t even say the first post didn’t age well, as it was absolutely never the case.

Tbf the daft cunt has turned it down in the past hasn’t he? We also may as well put a traffic cone on a chair in any negotiations for as much use as Charnley is. Although saying all that he’ll no doubt jump at the chance of one final season in the PL.

I just genuinely don’t understand him at this point. He’s rejecting a bid which is by all accounts far higher than the clubs worth and met his previous valuation, only to appoint Steve Bruce? He’s literally wiping well over £100m off any potential selling price with these moves while also decreasing revenue streams (I know neither is right away but it’s nailed on in about 9 months time). I’ve long thought all he wanted was to bleed the club, but with the move mentioned above, as well as the fact the club has just sat on its hands all summer doing nothing pretending either Rafa would sign or the takeover would happen (presumably with a strong idea neither would happen), it’s like he’s trying to do the complete opposite and run the club into the ground.

I see Luke Edwards is going through the bellend gears again: ”If Steve Bruce gets the #nufc job I’ll judge him on results and performances like every other manager. I won’t be labelling it a disastrous appointment before he’s taken charge. I’ll leave that to others if they wish to do so. He knows what he’ll be coming into if he comes” Trying to sound like some level headed snob, Bruce is a manager that has over a decade of record to look at and our squad is a fucking shambles there’s no way it’s going to end well

Aye this is absolutely fucking absurd. If that useless cunt is appointed I’ll take that as a sign the takeover isn’t happening, in which case they’re even more incompetent than I’ve ever imagined. I echo David Kelly’s thought from earlier, if Bruce gets appointed that’s the last straw for me tbh. What’s the fucking point?

The most staggering piece will be we’d have to pay compensation to get the flat nosed wanker this is Mike Ashley, a man who is fuming about a bit of paint at the training ground, but is supposedly okay with paying millions in compo for an absolutely fucking rancid manager.

Aye he is a cunt, I agree with a northern soul that this would be staggering even for him though.

I think he’s closer to being a peak going off our current transfer activity

I really don’t understand Ashley. If he lets the club sign some players it’s not money out of his pocket, so if the takeover went ahead it’s no loss to him. That way if (tbh when) the takeover doesn’t happen the club are in a more manageable position. As things stand we’ll be finishing bottom (imo it’ll be a similar season to Huddersfield last season), sure he’ll then stupidly blame the takeover for why no one was signed but that doesn’t help the bottom line of the club in any way so really it’s a pointless excuse.

Sounds about right tbh. We’re a fucking disaster with this fat cunt as an owner. Can we just skip this season and prepare for the Championship in 2020?

tbf there’s no sense of panic as no one gives a flying fuck.

Spot on. The daft part is even as an investment it’s not worth him holding at this point, we’re likely at the height of the TV money and it’s not like we’re going to become a CL team, so he may as well take his undeserved profit and fuck off. Even bleeding the club like he is isn’t worth it, he could be making a far better return if he the money elsewhere. It looks like he’s losing some of his key allies at SD, so hopefully he keeps losing power there as it might force him to finally sell us.

That’s probably it then, similar to the Staveley bid they’ll start saying BZG were never serious.

Aye PL is spot on. Also, lost all respect for Nolan. What a cunt.

Good luck to the lad I can’t blame him for leaving at all.

Off the scale corporate banter.

To make this even more bare bones I’m pretty sure Roberts was released at the end of his contract recently.
