There are none. The club still has to function and this is a move to help avoid relegation.

This. We're sinking into the Championship and something had to be done. Unfortunately for us this is the best Ashley could think of. This has no relevance to the takeover.

I honestly think Liverpool might not finish in the top 4 at this rate. 9 wins out of 19 games is abysmal for them.

I hate this big 6 bullshit like. Man Utd and Liverpool are the only standouts. City and Chelsea bought their way to the top, something that can be emulated at so many other clubs with the right ownership, ourselves included. So say our takeover goes through, in a few seasons its a big 7 then? Its bullshit. And as for Spurs and Arsenal, what have they achieved? Arsenal haven't won the league in 17 years and have never won the European Cup, they can't even qualify for it these days. Spurs haven't won a major trophy in decades and they have only been a Champions League team in recent history. These are the breakaway clubs for a new super league? Liverpool and Man Utd have done the business for decades and have massive worldwide support. The rest can be created with the right ownership, the wrong ownership and it all goes away, just look again at Arsenal.

Definitely going to be another 1-1 isn’t it.

Are Villa still isolating players for our game on Saturday? If they aren’t we won’t win another point and will absolutely go down with Bruce still here.

LDLLDLLLL. Some form there.

We haven't won our last 8 games so 6 wins in 21 seems ambitious right now.

Gonna start playing Brucie Bingo everytime we lose now.

Although he should be gone immediately, seriously when we lose on Monday he needs the chop there and then. Results have turned against us big time this weekend, we're gonna get dragged into the bottom 3 quicker than we thought.

Fuck sake. We're doomed.

I feel like "shut a few people up" should be squeezed in somewhere.

As if Shola will be standing in as interim if Bruce goes ffs. Its so hard to remember we're actually a Premier League club at times.

I cant stand Man Utd but I'd love to see them win on Sunday just to sicken some of the insufferable Liverpool fans I know.

Fuck I dunno why I have that assumption of their away form, maybe I'm still thinking about them last season or something.

Do you not think yous are a bit too shaky under OGS to be competing for titles? When I look at Man Utd I don't see them guaranteed to win any away games for example as they always seem like a Villa, Southampton or even the likes of Brighton, etc could hold them to a draw or even beat them. Under Fergie the bottom half of the table barely had a chance home or away. I think this season is a bit of a strange one, it kind of feels like the Leicester season because the top teams are dropping so many points. Maybe it was the lack of fans? If the league is going as normal next season and its more akin to last season in terms of the title race do you think Man Utd could ever keep up?

Maybe but it's not the main takeaway from this game. He should be explaining why we set up so defensively against a team with 2 points and why we looked like complete shit for the whole game. He's just going to focus on the VAR issues and hide from the real problems.

Blaming VAR.... Newcastle manager Steve Bruce to BBC Sport: "I've got no issues with the red card - we can't argue with that and you can't argue with how poor we are in the first half. "But the penalty baffles me. The referee got it spot on in real time. It hit [Fernandez's] hand but it's not intentional. It could have been a foul on him as well. "VAR is supposed to be for clear and obvious decisions. How someone 300 miles away on a TV screen can overturn it is beyond me. "You know when the referee goes to the screen it will be a penalty - it's pathetic. It's beyond me. "And then there's a horror challenge by Billy Sharp, that should be a straight red card. It's blatant. They didn't check it. It's laughable the whole VAR situation and I don't think anyone enjoys it. "I'm struggling to cope with it. Week in week out, it's ruining the game."

Easy to see why Bruce doesn't like Ryder. Fair play to him for sticking the boot in because very few people in the media will do it.

Can't blame him for anything when Bruce had the team set up to camp in our own half. Had we went out there attacking I'm sure he would have scored.

It's gonna annoy the fuck out of us when he blames it on the red card and the penalty despite us being shite for the entire 96 minutes.

He has to go now. Turning up with those tactics against a team with just 2 points and still fucking losing. Derby away under Fat Sam was one of the worst results I've seen since I supported us but this is just as bad if not worse. Our fixtures are horrible, we're going down unless we sack this fucking fraud. And the media can get fucked as well because no doubt they'll be out in their droves defending him.

We need to roll wuh sleeves up and get on with the business of the next game. Hopefully we can get something and shut a few people up.

Theres Bruce's excuse now despite us being utterly shit in the first half.
