Have a hard time sympathizing with Gayle. He had ample opportunities to leave but turned moves down due to money. He is just a part of two handfuls of players that would have been shipped out under rafa or a competent manager and are simply no better than premiership squad players at best.

Yep, not a DM because he generally shirks the defensive side of his game and not an AM because he would rather go sideways, backwards recede into himself or pass rather than get into the box and give it a go. Somewhere he can hold up the ball, dribble 5-10 yards and pass it short neatly and he is golden.

Probably says it all.... Newcastle United 1-1 Leeds United: Steve Bruce 'delighted' with fight to get draw https://www.bbc.com/sport/av/football/58605442 Newcastle United 1-1 Leeds United: Marcelo Bielsa not satisfied with draw at Newcastle https://www.bbc.com/sport/av/football/58605441

Shit attempts on the first two goals when he did.

But we are such a nothing club. Not even a half way club. I think a better manager could certainly be getting more out of the players. Ashley will continue to hope the media and crowd will turn on Bruce and push him to resign rather than sacking him. I don't know he will have a choice though. We will be bottom soon enough. Ironically there were periods of the game we did fine, were well organized as much as we could have been and the gulf in class between the teams players were obvious. Likely exactly what he will say in his press conference. Usual rhetoric from him but half way true today. The Ronaldo/Manure love in will save and deflect any criticism at all. It was pretty sickening. Full narrative of how well we did never standing a chance. ?

https://www.nufc.co.uk/news/latest-news/caldwell-concludes-interim-role/ Aye. I'd imagine a combination of being "too expensive" a hire and some degree of common sense/self worth was involved. Shame, it's a clear path to becoming our next first team manager after Bruce.

Clearly the money saved from Choudhurys loan fee and wages are earmarked for Bruce's compensation when they have to sack him. They just hope he walks first.

Both Mexican no?

We want 10, we want 10!

We winning the league!!!!!!!!

Missed out on Jebbison who ended up at Burton instead.

Will be the making of the lad. Will feature heavily for us off the bench in the Championship.

Mike likes a gamble. - Might be a breakthrough in the Takeover - then its not his problem - Maybe Jones Bruce manages to keep the club up with no spend and we aren't relegated by christmas - He has to sack Bruce between now and Christmas so why back him to get players the next fool that takes over won't want. Save some more pennies to give to the poor sod that comes next. ROLL DEM DICE

Imagine Bruce is eating a late night Kebab in his chair thinking... "Wait you mean I actually have to coach the players I have now? How does that work? where do I start? Order another donair me thinks.."

I feel literally zero anger. Absolute hilarity if anything, twinged with apathy. A depressing and damning indictment of what most of our fanbase had been driven to this past decade and then some.

He has already said the squad has improved due to the players naturally improving. Jobs a goodun

Why would Bruce walk, he has yet more excuses. It is tailor made for him. He will wait to get sacked and the compo. Tick tock.

Wonder if we will manage to squeak Krafth out on loan before deadline just to make things more amusing with no one coming in.

Dem freed up wages..

It will come to nowt Can't imagine Ashley has been involved at any level of talks tbh.

Oh thought it was 2 total at any time. Not so bad.

Did we really just use up one of our two loan slots on a 19 year old to play in our u23's not the first team?

Chronicle reporting Matt Ritchie and Sean Longstaff could be sold to bring in a deadline day signing. lol I love our clubs logic. We need a new player to improve the squad, ok sell two you have and we will green light the incoming loan.

Harsh on Butt to be honest. He never had that type of injury record.

Bookies favourites to get Phil Jones before the window shuts. Only 6-8 weeks from full fitness and hasn't played since February 2020. Will be a good catch, like shooting dead fish in a barrel.
