Two sexy points, one regular.

We’ve got 2 of the best QC’s in their speciality fields working on this takeover, and by all accounts a huge legal team behind them working on this, so yes there are people working behind the scenes to make this happen. In addition numerous journalist including Kennedy, Caulkin, Burt Douglass and the guy from the Observer who’s name escapes me, all confirming the aim is to get the takeover pushed through and PIF are just waiting for the wheels to be greased to enable this. On top of this you have massive hints from Staveley’s husband, Jamie Reuben and the NCSL that everyone is aiming to get this done. Remember the takeover 2.0 as Caulkin named it after political pressure, confirmed that PIF money was actually in a bank account in this country to complete the deal. I’ve learned on this site you can’t change people’s minds by presenting glaring information, those who claimed the takeover was dead soon backtracked, now certain people are claiming this is all about compen for Ashley. In short believe what you want, but this is 100% in play with a view to getting the takeover completed. Thats quite a significant step isnt it? If it can be that close and still blown out of the water then it doesn't bode well for pretending any minor steps that seem to be going in the right direction at the moment is some unstoppable snowball which will end in a takeover, if anything people hearing that will probably give up on it ever happening at all.

Some of this reminds me of Trump fans still desperately clinging on to the idea that some machiavelli is working behind the scenes and is just about to pull out some magic legal trump card that makes everything they want to be true come to pass.

Leicester put their match preview up before our match started already saying we were looking to bounce back from defeats to Man City and Liverpool https://www.lcfc.com/news/1960154/the-lowdown-steve-bruces-newcastle-united

Nope Ha, came in to ask the same. Boo.

Nice of Amazon smacking this up on the screen the second he finished speaking

One of the biggest names in the Sunderland pro-Brexit social media scene now has an I-Am-Not-A-Nonce Mobile parked up in Roker.

Brucie bingo card getting hammered in his pre-match. Plus "remit" bonus square.

We need 12% position in the second half lads. Come on.

Ah, it's worth posting in here I think, it's useful to know what nonsense is going round on Twitter so you know where it's come from when your mate's dad comes out with it or something. Plus once people have seen it in this thread they'll hopefully not post it anywhere else.

Reckon we infected them?

Couldn't even do more than roll my eyes when he came to us and said it was his dream job, inspite of saying whilke at Sunderland, literally "Managing Newcastle has never been my dream."

Bruce still talks about "fans on the internet" and "fans on social media" like it's 1996 and having a web presence means you're some kind of non-representative sun-fearing geek running a BBS. Like social media and the Internet doesn't include, you know, every Newcastle fan on the planet with a smartphone.

Crime does not pay.

Don't understand what he gets out of it, surely he must have more money than God from these years of management roles he's been overpaid for, he can't enjoy churning out this shit, can he?

Most of my bets are for an outrageous amount of goals and corners each for City combined with a smattering of cards for us and my main worry is we're not going to get close enough to foul them.

I literally just thought that watching Longstaff chase the ball ? Remember when the talk was we were going to sell the two of them to Man U for 55m or something? Surely if anything convinces Ashley to bin Bruce it'd be the stagnation and devaluation of player assets under him.

Post-match reaction from page 2.

Did I just hear them say "Some people think he's done an OK job, some people think he's done a good job, just got to find that balance between entertaining football that the fans want to see and staying in the league"

Maybe he should perform a histrioncstomy and remove himself from the club then.
