My friend was asking my opinion on why we have not heard anything, I can only guess that an offer is still on the table from them that Ashley refuses to accept that could expire at anytime and thats why neither have said anything more publicly. Or the whole thing is covered under some agreement to not discuss anything around the deal even if it doesn`t go ahead. This is it. They've made their offer, Ashley isn't making 300 billions off it so he's just ignoring it/them as he has not real intention of selling anyway so makes no odds to him. Meanwhile BZG move on to other business, probably another club next season.

Would love to see him walking out v Arsenal to that, however it's got more chance of being a rousing rendition of 'he's one of our own, he's one of our owwwwwn...'. Fuckin idiots.

just walked around stadium on lunch and there are 4 or 5 max at Box Office, definitely no queue Worth noting his post was referring to at least an hour before you went. No doubt in my mind there will have been a decent queue there today.

I think some people are in for a surprise when the Arsenal game comes round.

Desperation implies that Ashley didn't really want Bruce, imo Bruce is 100% what Ashley wants. A whipping boy who's going to absorb some of the anger. Hell, he'll probably take the blame off the morons in the crowd when we're getting humped off Sheff United.

HAHAHA Glorious.

That'll be 0 in transfer fund now then or may have to bring money forward from next years budget Bruce should put his own money in tbh.

I think if people have went this far without cancelling, they've already thrown their lot in with the fat man.

*cloggers Can't imagine the better players being happy stepping down from Rafa and a proper set of coaches to Steve Bruce and his mates.

He wants shot with shit, as do his assistants.

100% Nee wonder Ashley likes him. Absolute rat.

Admire the optimism, but nah, he's definitely resigned to come here and not because he's took a bit of stick.

What is this madness?

Really? He deserves dogs abuse from our lot like, won't happen from the happy clappers though. Ground will be rammed with SUPPORT THA TEEEEEEEMers. Nuggets.

Still fully expect a 50k plus v Arsenal People just don't want to know.

depends what they throw at it imo, there's still a solid defence there but they'd need to spend +£50m easy in order for bruce to be able to keep us up That solid defence will look a shadow of what it did under Rafa after a month or 2. I mean, even now they are in China 'preparing' for the new season. How can they prepare when they don't even know what roles they're going to playing come the start of the season. Absolute waste for the past 3 years of good work.

Yeah, strangely the other interested parties (didn’t happen) just vanished. It’s almost like it was bullshit all along. It was always going to play out like this. It's straight out of the Ashley book. It's still hard to believe how many fell for it again though. Fell for what exactly? The buyers are, like Staveley, genuinely trying to buy the club. Ashley as always, has been the sticking point, and I don't think many people out there thought it was going to be otherwise. Yip. Most people said they were genuine but ashley, which is exactly how it's played out. But the special group on here are taking it as an 'i told you so' win. Pretty sure a couple of them had it down as a KB masterstroke.

Hopefully true

You do know who/what Mike Ashley is don't you?

Ashley will be happy imo, gets his yes man, aye he has to pay a few quid but he's not going to have the politics he had with Rafa, less wages, less backroom staff to pay. Absolutely comical.

Bruce is coming like No doubt.

Price tag? I'd want 30 million Why? Personally I want everyone decent to go for pennies. Fees mean absolutely nothing to us. bigger fee means bigger signing on and wages for the player though, and the ones that are being linked with moves away i'd like to see do well for themselves personally ashley will make money either way, who gives a fuck about him Not sure I agree with the higher fee/wages like but regardless, the decent players we have will do well for themselves anywhere other than here I reckon. Rafa has shown them/us what they are capable of when being coached properly. Hope other clubs pick our rotten carcass clean at minimal profits for Mike. I don't see it happening like, but ideally that's what I want. Pathetic being back to this mind set.

Take pleasure in knowing they are wasting their own life and money sitting watching the crap served up by Ashley. I really don't take any pleasure in it, no matter what points I put across there's either an excuse to go or a shrug. So I just resorted to having digs every now and then, such as cheering Steve Bruce's decision to bring on Colback to steady the ship, watching players such as Longstaff being shipped out, watching the likes of lascelles, schar and lejeune 'decline' as they struggle without an actual manager then blaming them for it. Fuckin bollocks.

Not a chance next season as things stand. Suppose we'll see mate. Imo there's too many people with too many different 'reasons' to go.
