Ashely simply wants him to walk. A year ago it was the same excuse "it will cost millions" to sack him. No one seems to know what kind of contract he has but if it is rolling it will never not cost millions. Just game playing to force Bruce out. Also feel Ashley is happy for us to struggle/go down to try and prove a point to the PL and potentially get more compensation if the case goes his way. The fact he had every opportunity to fix the situation is lost on him like everything else.

Not sure anyone associated with NUFC are fans at this point. Simply addicts.

You know if the fans like him like they did Hughton, Bruce would have been sacked by now. Kept on in pure spite from Ashley.

Our result is all that matters to them anyway.

I don't see much changing under Jones and that is exactly where we will go if Bruce goes.

Bruce buckled under public pressure from his Nan and fan.

This IS the year.

Calamity central.

Ironically not as they will be used as his excuse post match.

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. ?

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
