I get what you’re saying. I think it’s Bayern who said they don’t want to be involved in any ‘Super league’ as they understand what it would mean for the lower teams. Unfortunately, here in England, the ‘Big 6’ are motivated purely by the cash signs, and less (or not at all) about the thought of ruining the game as a whole and potentially driving other clubs to the wall. Whether this is because of foreign ownership purely in it to make cash, I don’t know. I haven’t taken much interest in other Euro leagues since the 90’s/00’s in all honesty, but it’s pretty damning on the likes of Real given their (usual lack of) challengers each year, to be pushing for this super league in the supposed manner they are. It’s greed, pure and simple. Those at the top stay top and fuck the rest, no matter that 20 years down the line there either won’t be anyone else, or people will be so disheartened with the same shite the ‘super’ league will have fallen by the wayside itself.

Load of shite. It’s all the ‘biggest’ and greediest clubs throughout the leagues, all wanting to protect and grow their future income at the expense of the alleged smaller clubs. https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/liverpool-man-utd-face-grilling-23440473

New manager would probably bring his own staff in, and they’d have to pay his contract off, as opposed to us paying them a fee to take him off their hands?

Fucking shan Preston are only getting £2m for their first choice CB, like. Though I imagine there's sell on benefits. Outrageous the prices that can be demanded from certain places and then how others are absolutely shat on. He was running down his contract for a move to Celtic apparently. £2m still seems like absolutely nowt given current levels of spending. Little left on his contract or not. A 25 year old from Preston? Come on. He wouldn’t be going for mega millions.

....visit a different kitchen...

We not getting Mattheus Sammer then....?

I’d argue that even those three had a vision of where they wanted to go, and how to achieve it. Obviously their vision often contradicted that of the fan base. Bruce simply has no idea, about the team, signings, tactics, infrastructure, training...anything. We’re floating along (or rather sinking) because there’s zero leadership, imagination, clarity, and ability from the man in charge of our team.

Not only the fact that Lingard is a winger, but also that a winger was his ‘top target’. Does the man genuinely not see where we’re lacking?

People telling him to keep bashing away....at the steak bake mountain. We don’t want any post Christmas diet withdrawal problems occurring.

Unlike Choudhury who’s made 3 league appearances all season (plus one cup and 6 European, according to wiki). Hardly an ever present.

I just fail to see how comments like this can be accurate. A manager’s waist size has no impact on their ability to manage a football team. Trying to suggest Bruce is a liability because of it, or couldn’t motivate players because of it, is just a bit daft when you consider Rafa. Bruce’s belly is the ONLY thing he brings to the training field though.

I will do, when he stops being so high and mighty about the team that has four out of eight of the highest Premiership transfer fees (including the top three) and yet cries about his team not doing well allegedly because they haven’t got fans in the stadium. If he wants less abuse, maybe have a bit of empathy about where our team are, and give it less on a NUFC forum. It's the other games thread. It's purpose is literally to talk about other teams. I appreciate that. Just fed up of the constant ‘woe is us’ bullshit and excuses. It was lack of fans, then the board making shit signings behind OGS’s back, then OGS not having enough time in his position, and now they need to spend yet another £150m. And all on top of a lack of empathy and understanding where we are as a club and how little we all care for what’s going on unless a possible takeover happens.

Like who, Louis van Gaal? Or maybe one of the most decorated managers of all time Jose Mourinho? We really wouldn't. Ole is getting the best of out of this team. We need a right winger, a centre back and probably a centre forward. Sure. Go and spend yet another couple of hundred million on transfer fees. Your team is already the second most expensive in the league. Fuck off with the hard done to bullshit. Hard done by* And yes numerous managers have spent a fortune assembling different teams at us. That is also irrelevant. We need a right winger and a centre back, and we have done for a while. If you google the Cambridge English dictionary, it comes up with both hard done to and hard done by, bell end. You’re whinging because you’ve spent the best part of a billion pounds and are still lagging behind other teams. Don’t be coming in here and crying about needing to sign yet another three £50+M player. Prick.

Well I mean their first goal was a foul and their second was a deflection. Luck is properly out. If their first isn't a foul then ours should have stood. Struggling against Sheffield United at home and moaning about luck. Fuck off you whinging old bag. It's irrelevant who you're against. Is it still because you don’t have fans inside the Theatre of Dreams?

Isnt Choudhury the cunt who did one of our players a few years ago?

We’ve come a long way since the previous match where Bruce was congratulating a cross, that’s for sure.

So West Ham (and the press) that they already have two players in on loan so can’t do this unless they cancel one, or pay the full transfer fee.

Because given the potential backing of the Saudis to us, one of them wouldn’t be in the top 6 for much longer....pure jealousy and fear at being usurped.

We tried...

More likely to be Sammy fucking Lee.

The ‘good’ Bruce twin that no one knew about, and has been kept locked in the Bruce family’s attic for the last 60 years, out of shame.
