If course it isn't. He hasn't lost cases, but he'll have lost judgments as part of cases he ended up winning. What do you think he is like Mr Perfect? Could also be argued this is simply a manoeuvre, which is backed up by the fact its been made public. The chairman now has the question of bias hanging over him, not just in proceedings but publically. You are bang on with what you say. I think my post was a reflex reaction to the news; just seemed instantly bad ! The optimistic half of my brain is hoping it is as you say, a manoeuvre as part of a bigger play.

Oh to be a fly on the wall in Nick de Marco's office. Would love to know what he thinks this afternoon.

Cheers B-more Mag[/member] Seems reasonable grounds for us to complain.

Sorry if I've missed it but why would NUFC thing Michael Beloff was biased ?

It's NUFC so probably about 300 years.

El Jurassico

FFS. Two sentences in and he's already making that claim that NUFC is some sort of special entity where the treatment is different to anywhere else. I fucking hate him for that. If a PL manager has a barny with a player, it's big news.

As far as Mike Ashley is concerned, all NUFC fans deserve is misery, so to be fair, he's doing well at providing that to us.

De Marco's first loss ?

Well, that cannot possibly be good news.

Genuine question, how is Gordon Ramsey so popular? Forgetting the Steve Bruce joke, that was so staged and fake it was painful.

If that severance pay is correct, is that evidence that Bruce really was the last choice for manager and that Ashley had to agree to it because they were desparate fill the role ? Also if it is, the arrogance of the cunt to be so aware of his inability to do the job, he went into it, simply to earn a fortune. Aye, I hate him more than Pardew now.

Like fuck am I watching that video

Ideal man? He's going to cost him £150m in lost value of the club man. Well he’s obviously clearly not that bothered about it is he. He hates us that much he won’t care if we go down. People forget just how much he hates us and how personal this is to him. If we go down he can just sell a few players and bank the parachute payments and he won’t be out of pocket much if at all. It will be us as usual that have to suffer. He hates us that much he is prepared for it to cost him £150m. Aye, righto. The parachute payments wont all come in one go and the players we have aren't worth much at all, so all of that won't be anywhere near £150m. The whole "he hates us" thing is bollocks too, he doesn't care either way. The man is simply as thick as a castle wall, nothing more than that. Aye righto? Aye that’s exactly what is actually happening. If you think he is prepared to watch NUFC halve in value simply because he "hates the fans" then you are genuinely off your nut. It is a ludicrous thing to think I would agree but what other explanation could there be because keeping Bruce in a job at this stage defies belief.

If this was the case, why is he still here? MA obviously doesn’t care at all. Because NUFC fans want Bruce gone and if there is one thing that Mike Ashley will never do, it's give the fans what they want. He will cut his nose off to spite his face.

I think it was The Ideal Crash[/member] that suggested that the club were deliberately trying to get relegated so the takeover could be more easily done in the Championship. Seems more feasible by the day

How can anyone wants this club to win football matches is beyond me. It's an absolute cesspit and is not the Newcastle United we all know and love. It deserves nothing more than to crumble to the ground.

People should be ignoring Simon Jordan. He's deliberately being contrary to get fans to text in, tweet etc. The focus should be on that Hope has got the message out there which is brilliant.

I refuse to believe that Ashley gave him a contract that contained a clause allowing Bruce to get a seven figure sum if he was sacked. Digits after the decimal point are included in that.

Shoulder Barge Bruce II:lol:

This seems absolutely true.

Just checked this thread. Was it any good ? Was over too quickly, but I enjoyed it. Cool

Just checked this thread. Was it any good ?

Who is he Whitley mag[/member] ?

Do you realise that a fair response would be... Has Ashley issued a statement to say the Takeover is still on? Has Staveley said that the Takeover is still on? Have DeMarco and co ever said that they are fighting for the takeover to happen? NO . . . they haven't.
