We could be a top 6 club after Bruce has spent his £30 mill budget on Rose and Bentelab or whatever he's called

As Ashley (NUFC) are one of the 20 shareholders of the PL surely he can ask and be entitled to an answer. Perhaps he could get a few of the also ran clubs in the PL to support him

If the stories are true about giving SB £30 mill for new players then they would be better off spending that money on the academy and training ground. That would add value to the club. Giving Steve Bruce the money to turn decent players into crap ones would have the opposite effect

The PL don't need to make a decision now because the deal has been withdrawn. That suits them just fine, no questions to answer. I know it's not the PL but the Championship have kicked out the takeover at Charlton because of failed director tests (Paul Elliot and a.n.other) Difference was it was done almost instantly

I keep looking on here, living in hope. Hope born out of desperation and disappointment

Very few people had heard of or knew much about Mike Ashley until he bought Newcastle

I find it hard to accept that Masters and the Pl are not the subject of an investigation

They've stopped us from probably taking one of the Champions league spots. Look at the little group up there, feeding at the trough. Each one of those would be concerned at possibly losing their place along with £70 mill? plus. Of course they influenced the decision making

We always have to take it too far, don't we? It was a light hearted quip guys but I didn't know how to insert a smiley

If Amanda wins her case against Barclays maybe she can then buy the club on her own

Shame to see that Neil Warnock has decided to stay with Middlesborough for next season. Probably beyond our financial remit but he would have been a massive upgrade on Steve Bruce

Only Ashley could create such a mess of a takeover

To be such a prick and useless arse hole in his professional life he must practice being a prick in his private life. The man is a grade one lying tosser and that opinion of him was formed many years ago

Yes it's takeover or nothing for me. Couldn't stand another season of watching this crap and watching face licker

If somebody had told me when I came through the door that we'd finish the season a point ahead of a top side like Crystal Palace I'd have been delighted

You can't take it away from Steve Bruce, he's done incredibly well because the press said so

Probably gone off to sign his new contract

Rafas defensive displays were highly organised, this is just desperate defending

We are really having a go here, 24% possession now

And the commentators 'What an incredible job Bruce has done getting his players set up for this match despite all of the injuries'

Good team on the bench for the scousers

Can't see Klopp allowing his players to ease off. He's probably worried sick about the threat of Bentelab and Rose

I think Pearson has done an incredible job, taking over when they were 6 points adrift. Watford deserve to go down now

Why would anyone who buys a premier league club choose to have someone in control of the players who is the worst manager/coach in that division?

Didn't look remotely fit yesterday. In fact I thought at one point early in the game that he was limping.
