i dont think we will, i think we´ll get an improvement, he wont risk us going down again. Todays statement is a positive in terms of pardew, and a new manager is concerned, imo.

I'm not aware that they've ever taken legal action against any newspaper? They've threatened to but have we seen them in court, and win? As for the Independent article, the newspaper says it 'understands', and carries no direct quotes. Also, as the games in question have yet to take place, how can we ascertain that the article has 'no substance. It's not actionable even if he lasts until 2018. by legal action, i meant a lgeal letter and demand of an apology. pretty much what they´ve done to the telegraph today, and to others in the past.

Might have already been said since I posted it the other day, but the fact they've not challenged the two games to save his job stories speaks volumes.

No herrera? Mata will make way imo

Tomorrow's express running story he has two games left.

I'll never understand why players are kept as a fall back, loan them out and recall if needed is surely the answer?

I like Martin Jol, I have to say. Was his time at Fulham that bad?

May have already been said, but don't the club usually take legal action against articles with no substance? Has that been done with the independent article about him having two games?

I'd like to think that was true, but these days I'm not sure tbh The Cardiff game last season, the poor start and the Ben Arfa loan gives me hope that he'll go before Christmas. It gives me hope that he'll go before end of he month mick. A hiding at Southampton next week, and the Hull game is massive. If we're getting beat, fans will turn imo.

I'd take Bruces hand off. What kind of fucked up situation is this?

Haha, wankers. :-)

Sorry if my posts don't read well, I'm ok holiday and trying to post from a phone in the sun.

Man City are also a poor example to use btw, they're one of three takeovers, that I can think of, which wanted to rule football, regardless of £ (Chelsea and psg others). You can't use the man City takeover as a barometer to how attractive nufc are, buyers like them are few and far between. If nufc was marketed for what it's worth, it would sell, you only have to look at the numerous takeovers of clubs with far less potential than ours, to see that.

I honestly don't think at ever has been for sale, no. Ashleys business credentials can't be called into question, he's without doubt one of the best in the country. If he wanted to sell nufc back then, he wouldn't have got shit faced in dubai as was reported. I think it would as a box ticking exercise, personally. When my business ran into trouble, the bank told me to sell my house. I'd paid £300k for it, the market was fucked and it was worth £250k, I marketed it at £300k,because i didn't want to sell, although I argued that what i had paid, and that's what I wanted. It was advertised, at £300k, and the bank got off my back. It was 'for sale', but wasn't 'for sale', if you get what I mean. If I'd really wanted to sell, it would have been marketed at £250k,but I didn't, I wanted a box ticked. Same with us, imo obviously.

They won't do, will they, because it isn't worth that. The club isn't actively for sale, that's a fact, if it was, and he actually wanted rid, he'd market it at its value, like any other sale of anything, ever.

That doesn't mean it's for sale though, just because he'd accept an offer of more than its worth, everything is for sale, in that sense.

This. Makes no difference whatsoevere, unless some buyer emerges from nowhere lot of idiots on twitter banging on about forcing him to sell but cant understand theres no sale without a willing buyer I really wouldn't be surprised if Fat Fred and his cronies try to get the club back one day. Totally agree.

I hope rangers fans welcome him with open arms tbh.

Said before I think he'll be one by end of September, and i still do. Ben arfa being there for the Hull home game could create the perfect storm. I expect Southampton, and Hull to turn us over.

howay then, lets dream. Moyes for me.

He won't see past end of September as our manager I don't think.

Ten more years of puma.

as much as I hate him, he's doing as he's told, that isnt his choice.
