No confirmation from anywhere. Only tweets by the journos.

Dubravka instead of Darlow?

Geordies are never shy about letting a manager know what they think but I haven't heard any boos in their home games this season so he must be doing something right. - Paul Merson He said that? Not surprised.

Remember the time when people were dismissing and laughing at the idea of Rafa managing a relegation-threatened team under a s*** owner? Which club was that? Ooo yes. It was Newcastle United. Never say never.

That Rafa rant yeaterday was pure digusting. Just by reading it you could guess he was raging with anger for some reason. Yes he has always bleated about Rafa but yesterday, to use his own words, he threw the hand grenade in.

You do wonder now why Bruce went over the top with the Rafa comment yesterday. Does he know Rafa was leaving China? Does he know Rafa is coming back? He went beserk about Rafa yesterday

Clutching now. Funny that no journo has said anything (as far as I'm aware) about the implications to the takeover with this new coach coming in.

This guy is such a pussy. Being criticised on social media and by the fucking Chronicle is vile already for him. Hope we get battered tomorrow, and SJP is full of bedsheets and banners telling this canteen lover to f*** off on Sunday morning.

The cabbage derby.

Cabbagehead deserves a banner of his own ala Pardew now. He's just the worse in living memory. Yes, worse than Carver and Kinnear for me. Those two were clowns. Everyone accepted that. But Mrs.Doubtfire here think he's just the best and right all the time. If he's not having a dig at Rafa, he'll have a dig at fans or his critics. Boils my f***ing p*ss.

Fans really need to show our hatred to this guy now in some form rather than just in social media. He is not only having a dig at Rafa but also fans again. Needs absolutely to be peletered with cabbages, bacon and possibly a pig's head on his way to work on Monday.

I honestly can’t disagree. Bit deflated by all this Agreed but conversely, anyone of any quality wouldn't want to come and join under these circumstances. If they are looking for someone to do something to help us scrape enough points to stay up, I don't think they could get anyone with any proven ability or ambition. Aye but if there was a guarantee the takeover was 'imminent' or 'soon' or whatever you want to call it, any big name would be tempted to take the job, get a few signings in and work with players who we already have, who to be fair are not bad, but badly mismanaged by Bruce. As it is, we're plucking some Geordie from the Championship to help with an impostor of a Geordie we currently have as manager and guide us upwards, which I don't see anytime soon, much like any supposed takeover.

This new coach coming in puts a dampner on any takeover talk for me. You can try spin it positively as much as you want, but you'd think, even if the buyers were to compromise and let Ashley keep Bruce for a while, at least bring someone in up to the supposed standards we are aiming for under new owners. Not some assistant coach of a Championship team. No way is this takeover anywhere near as some are hoping for. I have been on that train long enough but if this was so f***ing close, Bruce could have been sacked, new buyers could have paid him off and they'll still have some change for new players before January ends. This just stinks of a Bruce decision that was approved by Charnley and Ashley. Haven't a f***ing clue that baconhead is driving us down the road to relegation.

What a fucking waste of money Mike. Better to sack the cunt and pay him off now. You'll have to pay a bit extra if you hire this bloke and sack the whole coaching team next week.

'Getting close' seems the new word for 'imminent' to describe this saga. We have seen those words since October.

Yeah. Why do we have to believe Slim? He some sort of ITK?

A good Rafa signing, though Rafa admitted it was not his idea to bring Clark to the club.

Three owners? God damnit we just need one competent (and) rich one! The three meaning AS, Reubens and PIF?

What is the cryptic bread tweet for the day mean? Can't undeestand the three loaf part..

Where is HTT?

I mentioned this on Saturday. BT Sport had a question out and ask who was the best English manager in the country. No one named Bruce though there were two of his loyal supporters in Sutton and Savage that were there in the studio. Sutton actually went for Roy Hodgson. So these pundits defend Bruce fiercely but don't think he is anywhere near as good as they pretend him to be.

He's banging on about how the Covid situation has affected us. It's been more than a month now and in that time, other clubs' players and managers have been hit too and even more recently yet you don't hear them talking about it repeatedly. Some are lower league clubs with even less facilities and ability to manage the situation. Mrs Doubtfire here talks about it like it just happened yesterday and always has to bring up his favourite spot at the training ground was shutdown - the canteen.

Didn't HTT[/member] say news would be before Monday?

Someone mentioned it earlier. Snake Belly Steve. Can we have that as the thread title please? The guy is edging closer and faster to a heart attack than towards the relegation zone. Absolutely lost the plot under invisible pressure. Jamie Redknapp can absolutely f*** off. Hasn't the tiniest of clues about most teams let alone us.

Ando7[/member] now being consistent with this takeover talk. Hope you are right mate. By the way, do you expect baconhead to make drastic changes to the team on Monday? Surely the players are in foul mood to play for him now. Might as well play the kids as his way of 'doing it my way'.
