The Bonk

We've gone from 1 game, to an entire month now? Honestly? Sure. We need to act accordingly and improvement isn't going to move the needle until we can bring in new players come January. Should Bruce be in this job? Absolutely not and there's a reason (he's shit) why we plucked him from a mid table championship club, but if it's deemed having him short term is providing stabilization, then fine. A week ago we were faced with a season and beyond of Bruce. Now, we've all got the idea everything needs to happen at high velocity because the takeover was approved in 48hrs out of nowhere. There's been zero public support of Bruce from our new owners, with the only mention of performance quoted being "this club should not be 19th". Brucey's days are numbered, it will happen very soon.

There's 31 games left, mate. Reckon there's enough time to get survival sorted.

I've not heard a peep of support from our new owners towards Bruce. He's gone and I imagine PIF want reasoning, a plan and outcomes defined before his removal. It's actually nice having some foresight injected into this club rather than the "just good enough" from our former owner.

Right? The immediacy in which the takeover happened has skewed logic in some of our supporters thinking. We’re run at another level now and every decision will be calculated, concise, with every outcome measured for accountability. I expect we’re being operated moving forward in a model that is insight and data driven over opinion. Rather than Ashley’s inner circle of muppets.

The recency bias and cognitive dissonance is through the roof in this thread.

The forum is going through some recency bias here with how quickly the takeover happened last week.

He’d stabilize them, which is what they’re clamouring for now and that’s about it. Eventually, Derby fans would ask…”Right, can we crack on with it?” to which his answer would be:

Have him here to goad the Mackem's like he does Roy Keane.

Godspeed, sir!

Mostly piss taking the Mackems from what I recall, sprinkled with some “we’ve got a billionaire now” lifting craic. Took one season to realize it was going backwards for those with any intelligence towards football.

This image is the exact reason why we should not be involved in any sort of docu-series.

the contrarianism on RTG is next level. You also left out rampant homophobia, something they excel at better than football.

This, exactly this. Top flight football hasn't been about the match going public for well over a decade and you could argue most owners couldn't care less what fans think going back much longer than that. I was recruited 2 years ago by project NEOM (https://www.neom.com/en-us) with an opportunity to double my salary, unlimited travel budget, free accommodation, you name it. There was no way I'd even consider taking this role for numerous reasons including my moral compass not allowing it. I obviously had control over this situation and could control the outcome. Situationally, we fans have little control over who is going to purchase our club and how it's run (Case in point; Ashley, Mike). We can only hope the consortium remove themselves, as promised, from KSA and how the ruling class there conduct themselves.

Think we all know how hollow the test is.

The turncoat.

Glad to see he's well.

".....and socialist" Hahaha....fucking hell. They're reaching in all sorts of directions, this is fucking magical levels of bitter and fewm.

"Newcastle win out for [insert top player]'s signature over rival interest from Spurs, Man City and Chelsea" Let that headline sink in. The only thing we need to predict is 'when', not 'if' of it happening.

Agreed. Seems to own up to the opinion's he puts out there. Prefer him to Wraith any day of the week.

For a Mackem, he kinda seems decent enough. When he's gone radge, it's his best work. Wouldn't be half as hilarious if SAFC had their collective shite together.

Ta!

Should be "gewge" an eye, no?

Is he the one in the beanie up in his ma's loft with a pint of Foster's? Love him.

mistreatment of SD employees, perhaps?
