Yes they came across well. Sinclair rolled out the “he’s one of their own, I don’t know why they don’t get behind him?”???‍♂️ Carver was “one of our own” does it mean he was competent, obviously not.

He’s never been a Bruce advocate to be fair, always the harshest critic. Was on 5live last night with Kelly Gates, came across well. Basically said what everyone things about Bruce.

I love that Edwards wrote an article saying Bruce would be an instant hero if he won the cup and then in expected spectacular fashion Bruce completely blew it ??

If Wilson stays fit no chance of relegation. But that’s not the point is it, it’s going to be more of the same inane bullshit until the club is sold. At the moment it’s Bruce, if it was someone else it would be equally dire because Ashley won’t employ anyone with genuine quality. Who in their right mind would come?

Agreed this is the thing which winds me up currently. Before it was the constant comparisons with Rafa and while you still get a little bit of that it’s the constant inferences that fans are and will always make his life difficult. It’s so he can say “well you know they never gave me a chance there”. You’re shit and you did the same thing at every other club you cunt.

I’ve completely lost interest again. Admittedly I’ve been following the cycling closely recently but the combination of Bruce (mainly Bruce) and lockdown football with no fans has killed my interest completely.

With Wilson and ASM assuming they stay fit we won’t be involved in a relegation scrap

A goal threat too

Fraser and Wilson’s play will create much more space for ASM?

Under Ashley we don’t aspire to achieve anything as a sporting institution. What a completely pointless existence. It’s not even about winning things for me (as nice as that’d be) it’s about forward progression and a sense the club is striving to do all it can. Until that changes I have no interest in going back, it’s a hollow, meaningless club at present.

Exactly the same as me, no intention of going back

What an absolute car crash this has turned into. Almost August ffs

I haven’t gone back since Rafa left. It’ll be even easier not go back if this takeover doesn’t go through

I may watch some of it on my phone if I’m at my local but really not arsed

On here face of it it does seem mad to ban BeIn from SA thereby eliminating legal viewing of the PL in the country. I’ve lost track of all the details though. Now I’m feeling like this won’t go through but that only because I’ve been swayed by recent headlines many of which might be total bullshit and there may be plans in place to see this through in the end.

Edwards used to be half decent and reputable but in recent times he’s turned into a complete knacker. The Bruce link and constantly defending him, goading fans. He’s turned into a proper dick

Saudis or bust for me. No interest in this Yank chancer. Yep same

?

Christ if this thing doesn’t go through and we’re stuck with Bruce and an even less enthused Ashley ?‍♂️

I agree. As a few others have said on here it’s probably along the lines of “the takeover will get the go ahead if X,Y,Z is done first” relating to all the piracy stuff. There’s probably all sorts of contractual wrangling and lawyers involved. Utterly tedious the whole thing though.

Dislocated shoulder looks like

I know Masters has said there’s no time limit but surely this will have to be concluded either just before the season finishes or just after. The negative impact on the club moving forwards if this goes on into August will be massive, I mean it’s already had a negative impact so far.

I wouldn’t actually be surprised if certain players/agents have been contacted or at least given a nod on the potential new project. This takeover is going to have to happen soon though regarding planning for next season.

I’d probably continue as I have been since Rafa left. Look out for results, watch the occasional match on tv but all with a very distant feeling. It would just all feel fairly pointless really as we know what the remit would be. More of the same bullshit and I certainly wouldn’t go back to St James with Ashley there.

Well they were already handing out free season tickets. I guess some may hang on given recent results but I agree I think so many would just think “nah I’m done”. The idea of being stuck with an even less enthused Ashley (I know is that possible) doesn’t even bare thinking about. More mediocrity or worse with Bruce moving forwards.
