I'd be pretty shocked with how its looking if they weren't just getting the DOF and CEO lined up before the manager. Hopefully to announce all three at the same time!

The ownership should really just invite every single available manager that's been linked to have them in the stands and shown on camera on Sunday, like a massive who dunnit.

He had a chance to come out, show some humility, emulate the new ownerships tone and show some class. ...nah fuck it I give ya a slap.

A few nice joint rounds of you're getting sacked in the morning followed by Nah nah hey hey at the end of the game would be lovely.

Wonder with his comments whether he would be interested in the youth set up. Would be an amazing guest coach down the line either way.

As a Dof and head coach set up Potter would be my preference out of the two. Would work well with Jones too obviously. Favre seems like the most experienced realistic choice for turning us around. The notaligic part of me would love Mourinho or an interim Wenger. The former for the bobby links even if he feels a bit tainted, rose tinted specs make me hope he would just click with us.

Even for Bruce that presser seems to have been a raging disaster of bitterness and stupidity. Amazing.

Aye, that is also if we settle for someone a bit shit and I don't think we will. If they weren't limited they would be the long term manager of choice. If they are just interim the board will be ruthless should the person they want become available. Outside of Conte or Rafa I don't know who would be a long term manager on that list of linked names. Rodgers maybe. The rest all seem like transitional at best. To be fair to Conte he isn't generally a long term manager either. Having a Rangnick or Favre come in for a year or two to get us in a place for a successor makes sense to me. Just no Martinez, Lampard or Gerrard please.

That's great stuff. Thanks for the share. Interim manager seems the way unless they really pull a shock Conte level rabbit out of the hat.

Staveley sat there looking at her phone. "FFS Yasir, I can see that you have read the fucking whatsapp message.. just reply so we can let Bruce go."

It has begun.. More of this.

Absolutely, and not just that. The media and other clubs fans want to take every chance to stick the knife into this new regime and will mistakes that can fit their agenda or stereotypes. If the new owners can't remove/replace Bruce with precision and class then it is damaging like you say. Like it or not more people seem to hold a high "public" opinion of Bruce than not, even if push comes to shove they would never have him at "their" clubs. Treating Bruce with a bit of respect however grating to us as it is, is more important if there is no immediate plan in place. Give him his 1000th if we have to and let him ride off into the wind like a whimpering, whispering fart.

Don't remember seeing that but for DOF I expect Henrique and Campos are sexier choices, not least that both have been linked to this in the past. I felt everything said about Rangnick in the press was pushing a narrative he was more interested in a role than the new owners might be. Reports yesterday had suggested he would be interviewed along with the others though. He is my top choice for manager, outside Conte. Think he would be an incredible interim appointment. Quite possible he isn't very interested in returning to management at this stage though. Edit: I have also gone "Full Hitzfeld" on Rangnick. Just seems perfect.

100% what they have achieved has been done largely in a beautiful way!

By all reports we are interviewing Rangnick, Henrique, and Campos, maybe Marwood for DOF (Marwood maybe for CEO not DOF?) . If this is the calibre talent we are looking at I am not concerned about who the choice of manager will be.

I see all this talk of Marwood, Campos, Henrique, Rangnick and I say.....why not all of them?

Absolutely immense. Is it really him running his Twitter. Imagine him going into management when he hangs up his boots. Like ian Holloway on crack.

Primed for a Jan move to us lol

You have to account for the long periods of silence, twiddling of thumbs, mind-numbing repetitive excuses and blame game, before being pressed to actually answer the question he was initially presented with.

There is really nowt in that Edwards article other than some mutual respect and courtesy with them apparently thanking him for his professionalism. Edwards and by the looks of it Bruce know absolutely nothing else like the rest of us.

Talking of which, I am pretty shocked Joey Barton hasn't mentioned it on twitter. Savage has been borderline respectful.

Not sure what his PCP position is but he is their contact person on their press release. https://www.prnewswire.com/ae/news-releases/pif-pcp-capital-partners-and-rb-sports--media-acquire-newcastle-united-football-club-301395576.html

To be fair if he manages again it likely wont be in the Premier League, nor should it be. Your point still stands though!
