It's going to be high 40s-50k+ regardless imo. Had the pleasure of sitting at a mates house last night who has no intention of staying away. Like... Zero. Nor have the people he goes with.

But the parasite will still want 350 million plus advertising and sports direct merchandising... And the cycle continues.

Begging for Brucey, beautiful.

How on earth could he know that?

I would have to agree that we were grateful to have Rafa as manager at such a dreadful club. And it’s a fact Bruce will have to try and clear up this mess. He won’t succeed though. He’s claiming we should be thankful though, and we absolutely should not be. Read my reply later on, which is what I’m getting at Like Bruce will suddenly rectify this mess. Well exactly He's walking into a shit storm where he's going to have basically no say on anything other than who starts on a matchday and what their rolls are. He's coming in to be a fuckin yes man/whipping boy and he knows it. 12 years of decay and Bruce rocks ups portrayed by the journos as a "Mr Fix It". When in reality better men have tried and failed, then given up and left. We're going to get this kind of shit for the foreseeable from the shit rags. Just realised I've written 'rolls' ffs Probably more apt anyway.

Don't be silly. After all these years we're still deluded cunts who are entitled to win everything, facts don't get in the way of the geordie stereotype.

Fuck that this is perfect BURN!!!

Give him a chance Should be thankful he's took the job tbh.

No.

It was similar with all the others before them. I dont get what you get out of what was described as ploys to get their names out there and some publicity. Not when it makes you look like incompetent businessmen/women. Again.. when its multiple takeover stories that end the same there is one common factor. It's mental that people think the buyers are the problem like. It's been the same story every time and people still buy it. Just what ashley wants, and the fact these people believe it was 'no funds' or 'tyre kickers' rather that 'ashley moves goalposts and wants to keep his grip on the club' means he can do it all again.

And there it is

Nope. He deserves grief from the moment he signs.

What did he do? I'm gona guess he ignored them a lot, upped the price a few times, added clauses, ignored them some more now we're just waiting for the 'timewasters' statement and that Bruce can have every penny.

I see you online and read my messages Fuck me man

Stop pandering to them, the time for softly softly has long gone, it's Ashley and them against the rest of us. Unfortunately there is 10s of thousands more of 'them' which is why they're trying not to p*ss them all off before they've even got started. I'm with you, they're absolute (short sighted) c***s if they go to the match. But I can see why they're trying this approach. They will see that line as the green light to keep going, they really didn't need to put it in. Aye, leaving it out would have been preferable like. I think they need to go down the route of 'this isn't your club anymore' etc, but alas, we've been here plenty of times before, who knows how to make the masses call it a day.

Christ I'd forgot about him in amongst this sea of shit. Poor little fucker, hope he gets a move in January at the latest.

Is this a wind up? In what way? I'm just questioning why they didn't go for Hughton given that he was available for nowt? Hughton is not a PL manager either, nice guy but Championship is his level Steve Bruce on the other hand... Is also a Championship standard Manager Exactly, and it hasn't stopped them going for him.

Line his pockets at 'his' club knowing that however badly he does it won't be his fault.

Because there is zero chance of him saying yes after Ashley shat on him, don't you remember? Howay man They approached Fat Sam who was also sacked. What's the difference? Sam was sacked, Hughton was fucked over by fatty and Pardew.

Good post. Incompetence or trying to fuck us all over, I can't decide. Maybe both. I don't know, maybe I'm over-estimating Mike Ashley but I don't think this is incompetency. For me, he's like the fat lonely kid at school who kicks cats/dogs and burns insects for the fun of it because nobody will play with him. He's taking the piss and loving it.

You say this as if it matters. Couldn't pick someone more perfect than Bruce to accelerate the demise of the club. Bring it on.
