Rafa was on the brochure and where it all started. It's an easy call for them if he suddenly become available. If he were free right now he'd have had the Tottenham game.

6pts adrift already. Reckon we'll be double that before we can get players in and by then it will be too late. 11

Nobody knows whether they are just winging it. More than likely they are due to the nature of the sale. The longer this goes on the bigger the decision and the more likely managers will look at our position and think its too much of a risk. Even if its someone in till the end of the season, it has to be done sooner rather than later.

You also can't go weeks without making a decision whilst games tick away. They'll learnt this the hard way sooner and more catastrophic than they'd imagined when buying the club.

We've no idea of the calibre of the new board. What we do know is they lack football experience and there's a convoluted hierarchy of decision. I'd honestly hope its something like waiting on Rafa than being this far in and having no idea on who they want, because that's how it feels.

Think the club is hoping Everton get turned over tomorrow night as Rafa's position becomes untenable, especially if Spuds get in there first and sack Nuno, then the Rafa appointment and departure doesn't look so stupid.

Wouldn't bother me in the slightest. RB & PCP will just find another partner. The main thing was to get rid of Ashley.

Needs a liver transplant then.

I wonder if the club is now thinking this season is a bust and are now looking to next year to rebuild in the championship. We looked absolutely doomed, you’d be mad to want to join this shite as a manager or player.

We will be the richest man in the graveyard next season in the championship.

We're going down without a serious financial rescue buying us about 5-6 prem level players. Hopefully they act quickly once the manager is in place. If they stutter through the window to get deals done the most of the season will be gone and we'll be mile behind. Jan 1st we need players through the door.

Wakey wakey

Well that's the end of his managerial career. Hopefully it hurries this lot in to some action and get some fuckers in to take charge of this utter mess.

Can't believe anyone thinks this lot is good enough to stay up with just a decent manager. They lot of them are spineless.

Unlikely as it is it would be great for him to get a win over Chelsea and stick it to Bruce. He's had a fair bit of grief being part of the problem but it would be nice for him to prove otherwise.

The Saudi's going to lift or rebuild his Wirral home on Tyneside? I know they like a construction challenge or two but that's impressive.

Now Bruce has been sacked I’m totally calm about all this. I know they are trying to get the best person for the job, not the cheapest. That’s massive but will take some time whilst they find their feet. We know how important a manger is to a club and this next appointment is as big as it gets for a club on its knees.

look at all the bites, man.

Yup. I’m part of the problem (currently 3 bets on next NUFC manager) but I love a flutter on this market. Don’t think I’ve ever won once but still, can’t help myself.

Thats it, I thought there was a Bobby memory about geremi. Glad I’m not going insane.

Dyer has treat everyone in his life like shit, especially those who matter most to him. Guess that's part of being sexually abused by your uncle as a child, that wall and front. Poor sod.

Thought he was a Bobby signing. Edit: Christ, you're right. Some reason i thought it was Bobby.

Yup, either or its the exact thing the PL want to stop, so I guess this deal has to fall through and any money earned beyond reasonable has to be fine from the club. Only fair.

I can't quite remember when i saw it but it was in a financial report the likes of Maguire does via twitter. Its Usmanov their other shareholders company who sponsors them irrc. He'll also sponsor the new ground for £30m.
