    It already is. At this point he's just a more likeable Jack Colback. Probably a combination of Rafa making him look better than he is and Bruce making him look worse than he is.
  2. If we go down, keeping Bruce is a good thing. Improves the chances of not getting automatic promotion. Ashley will spend to get us up. If crowds and ST goes down significantly then the second season in the championship will be even harder as Ashley will most likely have to sell players without buying unless he gambles and puts his own money into the club. With the tragic investment in youth there won't be many, if any, youth players that will be able to step up either.

    Isaac Hayden

    Hayden and Schar clearly showing their frustration on and off the field the last two games. Only a matter of time until one of them either lashes out at the abysmal coaching/tactics or go into apathy mode and eventually get dropped.

    Voted 15 as soon as the poll was reset. Only thing that would change this is if the scale was lowered even more.
  5. Incident didn't happen in the ground but you know. Abuse your fellow fans all you like, really going to bring about regime change. You dont know what abuse or militant means. At least I'm not stupid enough to think an organisation raising concerns to a club, when members of said organisation ask the organisation to raise those concerns and issues -that they go ahead and do that on behalf of their members - their basic mandate and part of their fundamental function - is being in bed with Mike Ashley and supporting Sports Direct. About half of NUST members in the most recent survey stated they go to games, while your view is that nobody should go to games (I've given up going, been involved in more protests than I care to remember and will not give a penny to the club as long as Ashley is still there) that doesn't mean that those that do shouldn't be stood up for if things go wrong. You still don't appear to comprehend or understand what a supporters trust is. The trust may well come to a boycott position, and I would quite like that, but it would have to be what the members want and clearly a large numbers of members still go the match. We've got TMG, AO, EFA and all sorts pushing the boycott and more now and that's great. Division and arguments amongst the fan base appears to be your approach - attack those that still go to games - this will achieve nothing - these people need to educated not belittled. If you don't understand how you hurt the club and fellow fans by going to the match by now you never will. Most likely they majority of people still going understand that deep down but are too selfish to walk away for the greater good and deserve to get shamed and watch the awful football they are getting served at the moment. You should do the absolute bare minimum to retain status as a trust until there's new ownership, while promoting walking away internally as that is literally the only way Ashley will go. I will never join an organisation that has members that still attends matches. I suspect there's more people in the same boat.

  7. Looking forward to the point in the season when he has accumulated fewer points than Rafa had.
  8. At least it looked like the away crowd had a good day out. Couldnt see any pepper spray shower throughout the match so let's all give a big thank you to SDST.
  9. He's doesn't have the awareness of players around him. Keep losing the ball to players closing him down from behind. Always plays the ball backwards. So weird to see him in a more defensive role than Hayden when you look back at his goals for us and Blackpool where he needs to be facing the opposition goal when he receives the ball to make something happen.
  10. He was tracking Vardys run. Too bad Schar was already covering the path Vardy was running towards Bless this well drilled team.
  11. Right? Some people man. Every half chance "should have been a goal". Was more impressed that Muto was alert enough to attack the ball than I was dissapointed that he missed it by a few inches.
  12. Harsh. It was a shot from Hayden, on a wet slippery ball.
  13. Do NUST have dialogue with the club? Very limited. Currently mostly with Lucy Oliver about inclusion and diversity issues and some contact with Lee Marshall on a issue by issue basis - e.g. issues that occur at matches that need brought to the club’s attention. Good job doing the good work of keeping people at the matches. Ashley must be laughing when he hears about this. Doing the work for him. :lol: So all the work on inclusive and diversity should just be ignored? Harassment of women and racism amongst our fan base should be ignored? Travelling fans at away games being pepper sprayed for no reason shouldn't be challenged? Under 16s being refused entry to Anfield the other week should just be ignored? Think you are confusing NUST with a militant protest group. I don't see the reason for working with the club at anything at this point, no. I don't consider advising everyone that has an interest in NUFC to stop giving Ashley money as militant either. Maybe you should just change name to NUT so you're not confusing anyone.

  15. It's quite funny to watch the matches on TV these days when the result is irrelevant. Good relief to just laugh at the misery and to observe and speculate on how much worse can it possibly get. The worst part is hearing the experts in the studio be completely out of touch with the fans, and just play on the old stereotypes which in terms forms the opinion of other clubs' fans who's knowledge of the club is limited to what they hear on match days, but for the most part only follow their own club on a day to day basis.
  16. What is this? Any reference that isn't riddled with ads and scripts that doesn't break your pc? Couldn't care less about this fakeover v.6.0. Anyone care to shed some light on the "now that we have proof from BZG that he moved the goalposts after a deal was agreed"? I haven't seen this before.
  17. Brought in two Leicester defenders for my FPL team ahead of this round so fully expecting us to get a flukey goal at the end of the match when Leicester is already comfortably in the lead by 2 goals or more.
  18. So. Sustainability predicated on buying low and selling high. Why not; it's worked a treat so far. When done properly it works fine. Look at Liverpool and Spurs as examples. I would have no problem with this strategy in theory (minus the Bruce bit obvs).

  20. He was fairly new to management, his previous experience was with a club that bought players as if they were cheating on FM. He had no experience on how it is to manage a struggling club with low morale, which had to sell their best players after relegation. Lots of clubs struggle to turn their fortunes around after getting relegated and he only survived until mid/end September in the Championship. It's just my opinion though. I can certainly understand why people draw conclusions on his abilities by this point.
  21. Ashley gave Hughton pretty much what he wanted too to get up last time we got relegated, so that he gave Rafa what he wanted to get us up is not an indication of his intent or ambition had we stayed up. It just confirms what we all know, that Ashley needs the club to stay in the Premier League.
  22. Staying up that season wouldnt have changed a damn thing, sadly.
  23. TBF winning the league with Molde those years weren't hard with the amount of investment they had. They were the Norwegian equivalent to Man City. That being said, I think it's unfair to judge him based on how he did with Cardiff. They had a woeful squad and any manager would have struggled to keep them up. This is the first season, in my eyes at least, that he can be properly judged as a manager. A good manager should be able to get that squad into the top 5 by the end of the season, a great one into top 4. So far he's not doing very well.
