What struck me is that, realistically, Stuart Donald did a decent job for his first season. He did exactly what he had to, stopped the rot. Jack Ross also steadied the ship, got the to a place where they were hard to beat and just needed a bit more firepower to get promoted. Their obvious problem was Maja, leaving and replacing him with Grigg but that's football, every team has that problem. The other issue is that Donald wasnt in a financial position to have a second season in league 1, which was silly from his part. The should have kept Ross and played the long game.

PIF is like a separate business altogether. Funded by the government but not entirely ran by it. Basically, what's going on elsewhere wont bother them much. In fact, it could be argued that the whole purpose of PIF is too turn their oil fortunes into long term business and ventures in other areas. One day the oil will run out and they need a future.

There was loads of little gems. Methven's red trousers Never trust a man who wheres red trousers, unless its Santa.

Aye Donald seemed ok. Was just a genuine bloke. Methven was an absolute cunt.

No but its perfectly rational to think that MA is going to pull the plug at some point. Of course there is negotiations going on but I dont believe for a second that they will amount to anything.

That office music scene was class. When he said we need to know what "good" looks like, I almost vomited. It's pure corporate shite. Hes a con artist, it's no suprise they hounded him out.

This is absolute horseshit.

Sports Journalists have nothing atm. That's the only reason why Caulkin has done an article. Even a respected Journalist like Caulkin can only be as reliable as his sources. His source is undoubtedly Staveleys team, in which case MA could pull the plug at any time.

FFS, I was hoping it was Coronavirus. Sorrynotsorry. He would die too, since hes a walking heart attack.

If they didnt already know he was a cunt, this wont make a difference.

Why does it have to be either/or? Is it not possible that Joelinton is not worth anywhere near the 40m paid and that hes playing in a poor side managed by a buffoon? If he was playing in say, Wolves side, he would have undoubtedly scored 10+ IMO. But 10 goals wouldnt make him a particularly good striker anyway, just a decent one.

Heart breaking. Poor soul.

My thoughts are, abandon the season, award Liverpool the league and have play offs (for the champions league and relegation spots), behind closed doors once its dying down. They need to focus on getting next season started on a fresh, I dont think I'm up for shuffling around fixtures for next season.

Probably been mentioned but did anyone see the Leeds fan on SSN, who said the games should go ahead and that as fans they can go to the games, "knowing the risks". Its thick cunts like this who miss the point. It's not about if YOU get it, dickwad, it's about if you get it and take it back to your local area and pass it on to some old dear who doesnt give a fuck about the football. Unbelievably selfish from a Leeds fan because hes desperate to get promoted.

This makes sense to me. They need to look at it as an opportunity to do something different next season. They could also create space to play the Euros.

Was a no brainer. I'm surprised the club has done it actually.

Thing is though... no amount of buddying up with media types and opposition managers is going to hide his ability as a manager. He might last a season or two, heck Pardew did, but eventually we know how this ends. We would have the last laugh, if it wasnt so depressing.

I feel out numbered on twitter by Bruce sympathisers. Deserve everything they get, rancid cunts.

Has the water retention of kielder dam, this fella. Must be the salt of the bacon making him thirsty.

Don't worry, we'll be knocked out soon as we play someone decent. West Brom made 9 changes yesterday and we still almost blew it. Aye, the Bruce sympathisers were out in force because we outplayed a championship second string for 55 minutes. Any half decent side will batter us.

Shows his true colours there. Tries to bully Hope.

West Brom are used to winning and we arent. 3-0

I have much more sympathy for away fans, as its much more about the experience and especially in an FA cup when there is more chance of getting a ticket etc. That's until they start chanting Bruceys name.

Came on to say this.

Not playing our best player was a masterstroke from Bruce like. This is pardew levels of ridiculous. What's Bruce blaming in his presser. The fans? His players? Dycheys good side? Corona Virus? The argentinian steaks they had on tuesday?
