The Bonk

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?

Really affected Messi's decision making, didn't it.

Look, I'm a left leaning centrist and generally appreciate the Guardian's quality of work, but they absolutely went hunting for this type of juicy, juicy clickbaity content.

"We didn't have a chance to try to scupper the deal!" Cunts.
