Pretty sure firing someone on a contract is similar no matter what line of business you're dealing in.

Never said they should, and also said I think it'll be done before spurs.

Harsh. I'd take many other reasons for why I'm not suited for that role, but to claim I'm unable to contact HR and ask them to initiate work to terminate a contract and sign the paperwork once it's done is a bit ott.

I'd assume every coach hired by the club has a contract with the club, and not Steve Bruce. Are they afraid that his team will leave as well in solidarity if he is fired, or that Bruce will immediately get a new gig and bring them with him? I just can't fathom what the challenges are.

Chief executives and chairmen choked on their cappuccinos in board meetings as their phones pinged with emails from the league at 5.18pm informing them of the decision. Some had already seen the news on push notifications as it broke online. Why had they not heard about this in advance? was a complaint levelled at Premier League chief executive Richard Masters. Why had it not been discussed in the recent rights-holders meeting not long before? Why had many learned about it via the media, like the rest of football’s common folk?

Didn't know that was possible. Changed from yes to no now

We know our current defenders can defend with the right system & tactics in place, and we have decent cover in the event of injuries. We know we don't have any adequate strikers except Wilson, and we know Wilson is injury prone. Striker for me is first priority.

Ye..I should I realize it comes off very wrong. They haven't really made any mistakes so far, and I do have faith that they will make the right decision here so for the time being it really is a non-issue.

14 years of Ashley is the exact reason why I won't blindly trust they have the best of intentions and do things the right way. They need to prove it to us. I was too naive for too long with Ashley. Won't make that mistake again Whether they sack Bruce, put him on garden leave, simply ask him not to attend the game while assessing his situation/contract whatever - just do something to show us they understand and that they are able to make important decisions.

If they are so inept that they cannot do the bare minimum, the one single action that makes sense on all levels, why should they deserve any goodwill? It's not like it's something that cannot be changed in time by making good, timely decisions going forward (and tbf, there's still time to do it, and I am hopeful and confident that he will be gone). Contrary to Ashley, if they mess something up, we can still hope that they learn from mistakes rather than bookmarking them for eternal re-use.

Feet under or over their desks, this is not in any way a tough or difficult decision to make. Whether they are "nice" people or not is for them to prove through their actions. Most, if not everyone, liked Ashley in the beginning too. My confidence in them will be non-existent if they don't bin Bruce before the Spurs match. It's a bad decision from a sporting perspective which will impact the commercial side long term if we don't get any points against spurs and it will immediately sour the relationship they have started building with the fans.

Big name and out of a job and applying logic to have something to write about. Wouldn't be surprised if he ended up on a list of potential targets, but would be surprised if he became an actual target.

If it was up to me he'd be gone already, but I don't really care as long as he is gone before the spurs match. If they keep him on for any longer, early concerns needs to be raised. No matter how unprepared and sudden the takeover came about.

Much easier to get behind this project now that Ashley is gone. Signed up.

Yes please. Nobody on here likes him yet his tweets and quotes are copied on here multiple times every fucking day giving him legitimacy. If you don't like him, don't follow him, don't share his bullshit with others and he goes away into obscurity. Easy.

What did Jesus mean when he said forgive them for they know not what they do? Definition: Don't be angry at someone for doing something bad if they are ignorant and don't know what they are doing is wrong, or if they don't know a better way to do something.

Don't think Cavani would work out for Man Utd if he was relied on as a regular starter. I don't want to buy players at their peak either. Much rather prefer talent that we grow as "our own" if that makes sense

I've never been a fan of "PL experience" which is roughly translated to 28+ years players who are on the decline looking for a final big pay day. It never served us well before Ashley, it will not serve us well now either (although it's a situation we may now be more likely to buy us out of instead of being stuck with an ageing, unmotivated squad). Never had an issue with MA's strategy in the sense that he wanted talents over experience, however under new ownership I hope the next part of the strategy where MA would normally cash in changes to a strategy where we get to keep the talents that have blossomed and add to them.

Did my first tweet since 2018. Shocking by tf.

"I'm not even a Newcastle fan but the thought of him falling short of an ultimately meaningless milestone that will mean a ridiculous amount to him gives me the kind of erection you could fell an oak tree with."

Actually prefer if this ended up being the case than going down the Chelsea/Man City route.

Just a quick google paste if anyone is like me and always forget what the corporate jargon actually means. The nonexecutive chair is responsible for chairing the board meetings as well as the executive sessions of independent directors. The nonexecutive chair's role is to improve and maximize the governance process, not to manage the company. An executive chairman has many of the same responsibilities as a non-executive chairman, except he's a company's paid employee. An executive chairman takes a more active role in supporting the CEO, ensuring the CEO grows into the role. He can help the CEO make the right decisions and avoid wrong ones. A chief executive officer (CEO) is the highest-ranking executive in a company, whose primary responsibilities include making major corporate decisions, managing the overall operations and resources of a company, acting as the main point of communication between the board of directors (the board) and corporate operations and being the public face of the company. A CEO is elected by the board and its shareholders.

Well that should quickly determine whether she is suited to lead the club onwards or not

Don't overthink it. For now just be relieved that Ashley is gone for now forever
