They only cared about separation in order to get them to move on bein sports and piracy, nothing else. Now that's done so is separation.

you'd think we'd sacked Pep or peak-Mou for fucks sake

I mean the money for PiF comes from the Saudi state, this isn't under dispute, so why shouldn't he talk about it in general terms? He's not running PiF, that's the entire point.

They'll fucking twist it somehow @Heron if someone competent comes in and does well with the same players. It'll all be put down to toxic mike ashley and the fans bringing the club down due to that or some shit. Ideal scenario would probably be Jones to take over, rock the next two games and go on to do with with the same group of players. Ideal in the sense of proving how bad Bruce was.

where was it said?

Search about for offers or listen to some podcasts, they usually have deals for £1-3 a month. I missed my deadline last time though and had to paid full whack before I realised

there a quote for that? amazing

Ya feel like Mou would have been in by now if he was available actually.

They went Mou?

Craig Hope on twitter made that point and it's typical of how disingenuous Bruce is that he talks so much about the abuse he's had without context. If the football/results/plan been good or even existed and we could see a path forward no-one would be saying fuck all. Rafa was criticised at times but his appearance, demeanour or words never came into it because he was a professional, not a fucking shambling fool hanging on for a payday.

That Roma team he managed was fuckin saucy mind

Feel for him that he's gone there to survive on scraps again just as we might become a proper club again :/

can you FUCKING IMAGINE a future where we don't have Steve Bruce as manager and we head into a january transfer window with competent people in charge looking to address issues in the squad with a view to doing more than keeping us in the league

This has cleared the way for a PIF run at Manyoo or Liverpool I reckon

Hope he takes it and does the PL for the rest

Yeah I mean it also clarifies why they've used the Saudi state as a defacto way to block to the takeover until now - basically acting on behalf a major commercial partner. If that's honestly what it all came down to then I've gotta be honest it's hard to argue with their stance imo. Also makes this cartel shit the laughable nonsense it always was.

Who was it who said it categorically had nothing to do with piracy, Staveley?

Be just our luck the PL will now be delighted with this news and happy to see the money coming into the league only for the independent arbitrators chuck it in the fucking bin

You know him and Hendrick were 100% Bruce as well.

Ignoring things such as chances created (as has been mentioned) in the PL he's played 58, scored 8 and assisted 11. That's playing under a godawful manager in a massively defensive system (particularly first season) and only having a striker for the second season with Bruce still stinking the place out. Adama Traore, playing for much of his time under a good manager in a settled system with great options around him for much of the time has played 147, with 7 goals and 14 assists. People were saying Traore was target for a massive transfer the last few summers. If he makes the right move next he could explode into life very easily.

So when he's back I guess he'll be asked repeatedly and mercilessly about the fact 90% of trust members (or whatever it was) want him to resign and why he isn't right. Right?

Excellent
