I’m loathed to defend Bruce but willems had a really bad injury and choudhury didn’t. For once it’s maybe wise not to gamble a squad place on a guy that i don’t think has played a single minute since a really bad injury.

Ban him

Something I’m trying to avoid. I was only trying to make the point the price of the club may be a problem if we are relegated. I’ll leave it

Just a change in the way we set up and play might be enough. It’s a gamble which could go either way but I really believe Bruce is that bad, just him being out the way might get the little bounce we need to stay up. Would agree normally, but by all accounts Jones is more of a front foot manager, and that was definitely the way at Bournemouth. I'm concerned that Rafa bought players for a more counter attacking style, not sure if the players will be able to adapt to a totally different way of playing. I could see it just causing more confusion. Bournemouth and Luton fans say he loves 5 at the back. Ultimately with Bournemouth that’s not his call

No new signings, Bruce still here. The future is bright

There has been a blanket warning from admin about the standard of posts in here so for this reason I’m not willing to get in to a back and forth with you. It’s not an insult I genuinely believe you to be deluded. It’s a constant stream of nonsense from you saying the same things time and time again. You are arguing that we wouldnt be a championship club is just wrong, factually wrong. I like your positivity to a point but honestly man reign it in.

When Mike Ashley refused to lower the price watch it fast become an issue. No one is spending £360m on a championship club I genuinely believe the landscape is such at the minute that even Ashley would cut his losses. Last time we went down he had to loan the club 40 to 60 million. With the current losses even greater due to Covid I think your talking an even greater amount. We know he’s a gambler but promotion for a 3rd time at the 1st attempt ? He’s not a complete fool, I think he would maybe accept 200 million, and a further payment on promotion. It’s also been rumoured of sweeteners for Fraser group branching out into Saudi. That’s 3 respected journalists now confirming relegation is not a deal breaker, obviously no one wants relegation but potentially a safety blanket if the worst happens. Hope you are right. It would be peak Newcastle to finally get the dream takeover and get relegated

I’m no so sure pinning our hopes on Jones will save us either. Need a proper manager to come in and rebuild the damage Bruce has done. Could be too late already

Reading all those points again in that article is so depressing. How different would this season be had it gone thru

From the Athletic article a few days after they pulled out

Wasn’t it confirmed he increased the price at the last minute? He’s a chancer trying to get as much money as he can for the club. Was that not with the fellas that are trying to buy Derby ? "if they are that rich what's another £10 million" with the benefit of hindsight it looks like he was smoking them out, I don't think Ashley has done anything to rock the boat on this takeover No I remember golfmag saying Ashley fucked the deal by putting the price up last min and that’s why PIF walked away but I’m sure it was confirmed by I think caulkin that he did increase the price but they were still prepared to do the deal

When Mike Ashley refused to lower the price watch it fast become an issue. No one is spending £360m on a championship club It is unlikely that we would become "a Championship Club" even if we were relegated. We would "be in the Championship" for hopefully only the one season, but we would not qualify to be labelled "a Championship Club" in the way that many perennial Championship Clubs are. I think it is important to remember this, when considering any impact on the sale price of the club! Actually, I do not think we will be relegated anyway, though it really "feels like it" at the moment. I think that - this season - we will be saved by other clubs beneath us. What are you talking about? Seriously, come on, you can work that out surely? Or, are you just trying to make a really very silly point? You are deluded. I’m not arguing with you. If we get relegated the value of the club drops rapidly. We rightly slaughter Sunderland fans for those we ain’t really a championship/league 1 club views when clearly they are. Even with a takeover and a good manager there is no guarantee we come straight back up
