I said throughout, it was a nice distraction but there was always the feeling it was a temporary sticking plaster on the disastrous club. I was enjoying it, but not completely because I was always waiting for it to collapse.

I'd accept nuclear war on those terms

My intention was genuinely to find out, it's valid that people might have reasons of their own which override hatred of Mike Ashley.

He doesn't do coaching, he doesn't do transfers, really not sure what his function is.

He might not want to stay, he might just want to secure 3 years of salary in case he can't get a move or gets injured before the transfer window.

This is important I guess, just the club protecting an asset.

Yeah, I mean I agree, that just leads me to the conclusion that it doesn't matter what league we're in.

Isn't being one of the worst teams in the PL shit?

The fuck?! I actually like Gayle but it's mental he wants to stay. Critical lack of ambition from both him and the club.

It would be nice to be able to watch the PL without us in it, much more enjoyable. That’s a benefit. I quite enjoyed the Championship before, it’s a good league. But this time I wouldn’t really be following us.

No, but I don’t really care if we do. If I knew the takeover was going to happen, I’d want us to stay up. But I haven’t a clue about that.

Selling the 10k doesn’t mean anything, you’d sell them under any circumstances. Let alone when it’s the first time people are allowed to go to a big event for a year.

Care to say why?

I don’t fully get what happened here, but you can’t have clubs not playing their games, can you?

I’d be more surprised if he didn’t want out.

Yeah, I’d be genuinely interested to hear why people would go. TBH I’ve considered it just because I miss the match day experience so much. But I don’t think I could actually go through with it.

I'm not that convinced, it could well be done by then.

That's rank from Wraith, what an idiot.

Check the table every couple of weeks, maybe switch score alerts on, that should really be the standard for Newcastle fans at this point.

Watkins looks genuinely stoked, nice to see.

I think it’s the style that makes it harder for them as well. At least our shit players are brought up to win headers and smash people, they can’t even do that.

Bromley could beat them. I’d like to see Ward-Prowse play in some real games, he adds something interesting.

Why even quote that Rio shite?

I think the scale of Bruce's inadequacy has been surprising. I thought he'd be shit, but I thought he'd be a fairly standard PFM who would play shit football but grind out 40-50 points somehow. I never expected him to ruin everything as quickly and comprehensively as this. And then, of course, not be sacked.

We need a three of Willock and the Staffs, at least they can run (and might care).
