This should have been done as soon as it became apparent Rafa was leaving and why tbf.

Even if he was a manager you could rate, what he has done here is so bad, spitting in the face of the club that stood by you through a tough time and made adjustments for your personal life for what? A thankless lacky job, getting paid less and hated by the supporters? Clearly this is an attempt by Ashley to turn focus on the manager, Bruce is being brought in to take the flack while he disappears back into the background. Everyone needs to ignore this gelatinous mass and continue to pay focus squarely at Ashley and Charnley.

Nevermind "or" Gareth, we are all of the above lad

I hope we do sell Dubravka for £30m and buy no one in as a replacement, it just highlights further the ineptitude of this regime. Scorched earth, watch it burn!

I wouldn't, I still know people now that hold fond memories of Pardue "but he got us to 5th". We need someone worse!

What are you even hanging on in the hope of? The worse manager they get the better. The ideal scenario is that we get a decent manager who can make some shrewd purchases and keep us up whilst simultaneously boycotting games and forcing Ashley out. The truth is if we get a decent manager and start winning games then the sheep will go back and all will be forgiven.

Rafa wanted players to build a team, Ashley's SD United want to buy assets with potential sell on value and a coach to try and make a functioning team out of them to keep them in the league for free advertising.

Www.ashleyout.com But I think it needs to be more concise, like the Pardew one with a timeline of events and educate fans/press as to the litany of "mistakes" this regime has made and purposely done to starve this club of any and all ambition and progress.

i'm borderline impressed how they're hooking folk in tbh, every single hour there's another cunt along saying "announcement at Xpm" and everyone jumps on it every single time What time is the announcement? 9..10..11am..12pm...etc...

29, non-starter, next

Mrs Brown's Boys?? This thread has reached an all time low!

No one will tell me what to do! Boo the team, support the regime.

Not that I believe we'll sign or have any interest in signing any players but Keeper has to be one of the least priorities on our list!?

Thankfully the Rafa leaving news broke on the last night of my holiday, would have been a right bummer if it was the first day. Until then there was genuine hope of a takeover plus Rafa staying. Looks like neither now Literally broke on my first day on holiday, I was in Atlanta, I'd like to say it didn't ruin my holiday but I spent more time than I should refreshing newsnow and here ffs

Read into this what you will, I may be missing something her but why wouldn't sky bet give odds for this?

Quite the contrary, there will be "£100m available" to the new manager (head coach) but we'll lowball all our offers, refuse to be held at ransom and struggle to get deals over the line

Can't see anything but a slow and painful relegation for this lot, toothless up front and our expert defensive organiser has left. We won't be half as effective in defence and less than that in attack without Perez and Rondon.

Its massively indicative of Mike Ashley's NUFC, every fibre of the club screams cheap. The fact he didn't dish up the food himself doesn't absolve him of the fault for an embarrassing display such as this.

Not sure where to post this so I'll pop it here:

Although Europe is the name of a rock band from the 80s it is unclear if they have been approached about the vacant head coach position at this time.

The fucker is monumentally stupid. This is the best bit: https://twitter.com/lee_ryder/status/1147474861121581056?s=19 For some reason he stopped talking after he was rightfully vilified for that answer :lol:

No bones about it NUFC is getting relegated this season in a thoroughly soul destroying campaign, sign me up!

I can't see anyone wanting to buy the club after this debacle

@ifashleygoeswestay it's the future.

Me too. No thank you to Sports Direct United. This is where I'm at, genuinely like the chat in here with most but the "football" with this regime, no matter the manager is now irrelevant, if Rafa couldn't get an ounce of ambition from fatty, no one will.
