Use of the "iz" always makes me chuckle

Cheers for the update Luke.

It's been an awful long time since a defeat ruined my weekend. I refuse to let Ashley's version of NUFC spoil my free time.

Ashley will stick with him for as long as possible. While fans are raging at the manager, they are slightly less inclined to rage at him. Bruce is just a human shield.

Jumping from looking at the 5 years ago comments in the Rafa thread, to this, is not good for the mood.

You haven't read the room very well, posting that and then just disappearing

It's a very well honed act he's got and it's helped him forge a long and lucrative career in management.

Here's me thinking that money is the most important thing to Ashley when in fact, money is no object when it comes to the pursuit of the ultimate dream of making sure all your high ranking employees are fully compliant, sycophantic, lickspittle cunts.

He's had an extra years worth of TV money. Doesn't matter with Ashley. No amount of money is enough.

Ashley hates to lose 100 pence never mind 100 million pounds. What the hell is he thinking, man.

Charnley as Velma, man :lol:

Fucking hell

What a horrific idea

Looking for something would constitute actually doing something. He never had any intention of searching out the leak. Too much like hard work.

Only one person making the decisions and everyone else just goes along with it, too scared to tell him he's wrong.

The Consortium would not buy a "Championship Club" for the money that they have agreed with Ashley to buy Newcastle United for. Hopefully, we will not be relegated, but if we are a Premier League Club in the Championship for a season - who cares? Certainly the Consortium won't care, why would they. Can people not understand the difference between a Championship Club and a Premier League Club temporarily in the Championship? After all we have done it twice under Ashley, so it would be no hardship under the Consortium and with Benitez at the helm. It would not affect the Takeover, it wouldn't really affect the development of the club under the new owners either, as they will have to replace pretty well 100% of the playing staff and non-playing staff, no matter which division we are in when they take over the club. The logic of this is obvious, but (I suppose) "cue the scatter-gun vitriol" !!!!! The concern is if Ashley thinks like you. "If we go down, we'll just come straight back up" There is no guarantee of that happening due to Ashley's negligence since we came back up. If we go down this year, it would take a monumental effort to come straight back up.

It is ridiculous how little he seems bothered by the threat of relegation. Even if he's being stubborn, there are so many people involved in the deal, you'd think he'd act based on advice from other people. He's a very odd man.

The PL must be loving this. Not only have they blocked us from possibly imposing ourselves on the 'Big 6', they are sitting watching us drop out of the league altogether. Cigars must be out in the PL offices. String it out for a couple more months and their troubles will be over. Thanks Mike.

The next one is highly unlikely to be.

Did not see Fulham winning that, despite Liverpool's form. Club is very fucked.

The Entertainers are back.

What's the chances that the test has changed since 2015 ?

Is there something cryptic there that I'm missing
