Don't even have that excuse. Van Bronckhorst is a free agent too. Just zero ambition and they don't want anyone that might do well enough to rock the boat and have delusions of grandeur like a cup run or top 10.

More than likely we will end up with worse than even Bruce. Our shortlist will be Bruce, Viera, Gerrard and Arteta (actually if Bruce is on there the list will be far less progressive). We will go through the list and get no from everyone which should take another 2 weeks then another week to get the b list of targets drawn up then finally when they turn us down and the season has started we will be getting somewhere.

The potential of hiring Bruce certainly well ease the acceptance of Redfearn and Dawson.

Leeds got Beisla, Derby got Cocu. We get Steve fucking Bruce. Ashleys trolling is beyond all comprehension. Will be an absolutely toxic year. Even the numptiest or numpties is going to hate this. It's classic child..lets see how far we can push the envelope before we get told off.

Yeah well welcome to the environment we have lived in over a decade. You get it wrong (again) and a few people give you some shit on the internet. We live with this daily.

What an addition to that team. They are already running away. If they get a motivated non sulky BenArfa importantly Bradley handles him and gives him belief and love he will be their Giovinco.

If we were close enough for something to happen today or even this week there wouldn't have been any "statements" released yesterday completely wishful thinking!

Far better appointment than anyone we will get next. Like Derby, a whole lot more not lampard has left. Thought hughton would be a fit there. Far more ambitious appointment that will put us to shame.

Senegal or Algeria will win it saviet with the winner.

Compensation involved. Probably a non starter.

Old pic. In training today. Will be the update soon.

To be fair he said something along the lines of "I'm convinced they will have contacted him. (to see if he is interested)" complete guess work based on a hunch. Terry would be a worth successor to fill the two faced Pardew void. Just the type Ashley likes.

Glad we can finally close the takeover saga.. oh no..more ambiguous news and another unbearable week. Like GDM says maybe the PL/FA or other have strung out the process so they have missed out to another bidder. Realistically we know we can't have nice things though. This will rumble on longer before it comes to the same conclusion of Ashely still in charge, fuck all spent on new players and relegation.

Shame. Out of nearly everyone linked Gerrard was by far my least favourite. He would have been easier to despise.

Obviously waiting/hoping for something. - correspondence from the club and Ashley - premier league clearance - a nod a pay off from Ashley for the fakeover God knows, one god, all gods or no God.

Last season was a struggle and we are likely to lose at least 5 of our best players. Would be a miracle if we survived. We need at least 6 high quality players and another couple more quality first team players and a manager that can bring the players together. That's presuming we don't lose anyone else. Hayden, longstaff, Schar, Lejune, Fernandes, Dubravka, shelvey could all need replacing. Saivet and colback are going to get lots of minutes aren't they.

Must be selling Dubravka for €50m. Would be our management logic to spend €40m on a GK, 15m on Dann and start the season with muto and Gayle up top.

Ashley is reverting NUFC back to the pre-Rafa model of buying players and giving them to the 'head coach'. Their job is then to make the player impress so the player can then be sold on at a profit. We're back to being a stepping stone club. Do well at NUFC and you'll be sold on to a better club. So Charnley makes the final call on who to sign on recommendations of Scouting team??? Charnley bungles his way through nicksons recommendation list and the first deal he gets to that doesn't fall through wins. Obviously the top 5 are ruled out for cost, insultingly low gesture bid aside.

Life long Sheffield United fan, former player. Just led them into premier league. No chance he drops the chance of that experience for one of the most poisonous jobs in football. Would be a good fit for our squad. Loves 3 at the back with 2 marauding ball playing and attacking centre backs. Would be solid in the championship where we are heading. A sad reflection of where we are as a club (Harsh on wilder tbh) Only ever getting someone out of a job. Flores followed rafa once before at Valencia and loves the premier league. Van bronckhorst fits the mould working with youth and the squad he has on the cheap. Blanc put his name out there but there has to be a reason he has been out of work so long we will end up with someone far more underwhelming.

Muto and Gayle... dat physical presence. Hope we play 4-5-1.

Bit harsh.

Great sequence of headlines there. - Scores 12th goal of the season - Shortlisted for Barclays player of the month - Nominated for PFA fans player of the month - Signs for Leicester.

What we don't end up spending will be carried over to the January window...

This is it like, Wullie. Depressing that in our time supporting this club we've gone from breaking the transfer world record to being rock bottom of the premier league food chain. Used to mock the mackems for being a yo yo club and got annoyed when they labbeld us so. European football was so long ago it is beyond comprehension how much the club has eroded under Ashley. It was slipping rapidly before under shepherd but nothing like this.

Heard it through the vine the flight number was actually T-MATO
