If it doesn't affect our chances, then by your arguement he may as well stay. You bringing a Bruce flag on Sunday?

Apparently Yasir arrived in Newcastle today. Could he be the one to rubber stamp Bruce’s sacking? Might explain why the press conference has been moved from 9.30am to 1.30pm?

You can see Bruce having the best of intentions this week. Dreaming about getting to the training ground early with a new found optimism, only to wake up at half nine, still half cut and sending a WhatsApp message telling everyone to take the day off 

Half-nine? That’s generous. 
 

He’s got a Mon-Fri breakfast order from Kamil’s Kebab Emporium to deliver at 10:00am sharp ( ish). 
Demolish that, quick fag and a pint, then a “morning” shite won’t see him rocking up til 11:00 at best. 

[Chaser 1207]

Can't see him out before Spurs now. Thought at the very latest we would hear it today. It's going to be an odd atmosphere on Sunday now. 

[Monkeys Fist 42449]

Sorry to bring a downer, but the chat about time being of the essence reminded me of Polarboy’s comment the other day about The Fragrant Amanda having Huntingdon’s Disease. 
The usual life expectancy of sufferers is 10-20 years from diagnosis- she was diagnosed with it 8 years ago, so, given her stated aim of winning the Title within 5-10 years, there’s a distinct possibility she may not see it happen. 
 

Obviously I hope she does, but it’s a sobering thought.

 

As you were. 

[Rayvin 5223]

Damn. Downer indeed, but good to know nonetheless. Hope we do manage it while she's still here.

He’ll definitely go the same way as Elvis like

She wasn’t diagnosed with it afaia. Just that she has the gene and is highly likely to get it in the future?

Not just likely- its certain. 
This interview with her seems to indicate that she has it. 
“One of the reasons Staveley has been so eager for the case to go ahead is her health. She suffers from Huntington’s disease, a degenerative genetic disorder that affects people later in life and for which there is no known cure. Once the disease starts taking effect, brain function slowly declines, culminating in symptoms similar to dementia.

Staveley discovered she had inherited the Huntington’s gene from her mother at the age of 37 when she decided to start a family and got tested. She has been told the disease is dormant but could be brought on by anxiety or intense pressure at work.

‘The stress brings on the onset of the disease, and the disease is fatal,’ she says. ‘It was a tough decision for the judge to delay my case and I was in bits when Barclays won a two-year delay in 2017. They want to delay until I give up.’

Staveley suffers from mood swings that affect her family life, and there are long periods where she can’t sleep for more than three hours a night. 

She says: ‘I have the most incredibly patient and loving husband. I didn’t want to get married when I found out about the disease – but he said he didn’t care, and that we would find the best medical care available.’

Staveley says she has in fact exhibited signs of her Huntington’s disease throughout her life. She believes the disorder made her brilliant with numbers at a young age.

‘It’s actually very useful because I’ve never needed a calculator,’ she says breezily. ‘The Barclays guys were always shocked that I could do complicated financial models in my head. I thought I was just good with numbers – it turns out I was sick.’

She also says the disease means she has no ‘filter’ in social situations and laughs as she admits to embarrassing her husband with off-the-wall comments at parties.“

 

Obviously I hope, as you, that she’s around to see the fruits of her efforts with us pay off, and more importantly, for her husband and son. 
But, reading about it, it’s fucking grim. 
 

 

 

Anyway, how long will the bacon fiend continue to fleece us for a job not done?

If you have the gene you're almost certain to get it, so it's more or less the same difference in terms of life expectancy. Amanda Staveley: the £100m woman advising the most influential sheikhs across the Gulf | London Evening Standard | Evening Standard The fifth last paragraph is where it's talked about.

There is only one acceptable response to that question:

 

 

[Isegrim 9775]

If sacking Bruce costs 8m, paying off Rangnick’s contract would only be a fraction. It looks a no-brainer to me …

He's Belgium's answer to Southgate

[Ayatollah Hermione 13869]

What a greedy fat cunt he truly is. I’d put the cunt on gardening leave until he chose to resign.

[Gemmill 44881]

It's Ashley's fault, not Bruce's. He just wants what he's contractually entitled to from new owners who everyone says have a bottomless pit of cash. 

[Rayvin 5223]

Yep, gardening leave. Who gives a fuck - spreads the costs out as well. He's contractually entitled to be paid whatever he's paid every week, so let's lock him in.
