It is disappointing not getting Emery, but he was the caliber of a manager i did not think we could get right now. We are in real danger of relegation and money wont help us until January. Given our situation, i always thought that the Emery's and ten Hag's were going to be kind of names we could be going for next, if we stay up. If the takeover would have been completed during the summer or we would be around mid-table now, it surely would be completely different situation. I think Howe would have enough to keep us up. That is the short-term priority. He does not seem anything like these PFM c***s and i remember his Bournemouth side tried to play good football. He did very well with Bournemouth and who knows how what he could do with a bigger club. How far he could take this "process", remains to be seen. It would have been great having a new manager before Brighton..but under Jones we can write the game off.

Howling at "Puke" Edwards. Thats not even funny

Pogba was the icing. Fantastic stuff

At first, for me anyway, it was not the character of the man. That came later. I knew how shit he´s record as manager was, and of course he had no business managing in the premier league anymore. I did not know beforehand was what a snidy, egoistic weasel he actually is. It was what he represented. Polar opposite of the appointment of Rafa. Rafa was loved here because he represented hope, ambition, professionalism and actual care for the club. For a moment you could almost think that we could go somewhere even under Mike Ashlely, if Rafa had he´s way. He had a clear plan how to play and had long-term plans how to take the club forward. It was great us-against-them mentality. I, for one, loved it when Neville was crying about the way Rafa beat Man City. This is how we play, this is our team, f*** off. Appointment of Bruce was the polar opposite. No clear plan how to play, just "ticking along" and making up the numbers. No identity, no professionalism, snidy remarks of fans and previous manager (i´ve never ever seen that happen anywhere). From day one he could never accept any responsibility or take any criticism. Complete embarrassment. He was the perfect image of the Ashley era. Slow death of a club. I don't care how lovely he might be to he´s family and friends, but as a football manager he comes across as unlikable you can. And what i have seen, the fans of he´s previous clubs have the same opinion. Then i have to read and listen from every media-outlet what a great manager and lovely fellow he is. Just one big lie after another. I´ve been more angry than i was under Pardew. I dislike him more than Pardew. I did not think it would ever be possible. He managed Villa and Birmingham, both Sheffield teams, mackems and Newcastle. Loss for words. But here we go. He is history. Lets forget him. Because now, we can have an actual manager. Sorry about my grammar etc. I know it has all been said 1000 times, but i just had to write this for my own - therapeutic - sake.

YES Now i can actually be 100% happy if we win.

Ridiculous

Could it be magic now

Derby in serious danger of relegation

There are also people who want to see Bruce get relegated. If he is sacked before, then the PFM brigade will say that he would have kept us up.

Will order a Henry of toot and sniff the cunt in one line if so. Just tweeted that he has covid and wont be checking twitter for a while..

"..We would like to win but it is not a must-win.." "..Can we go there and get a result? It would be great if we can, but we can only do our best.." I mean jesus wept that is sad

Now that's man management

Darlows attempt ;D

Ladies and gents, our left winger JOE LILNTOOOOOON

De Bruyne playing as false 10?

I cant believe how bad De Bruyne has been

Please take a red Shelvey

Steven Taylorish reaction from Ritchie

Wigan 1-0 NUFC under Allardyce on Boxing Day was horrific. 3-0 defeat at home to Liverpool was utter gash. However, the worst under Allardyce had to be the defeat at Derby. God, this thread is bringing back so many terrible memories. Drove there and back on the day. I think we had Viduka up top on his own, with nobody within 50 yards of him. 2 shots all game, nothing on target, Geremi and Alan Smith as wingers Lost to another Ryan Taylor free kick. I remember Ashley being sat near us and getting loads of fuss in the concourse at HT First game I can think of when it got really toxic for Fat Sam. Fans universally turned on him. I was at that one. Utterly horrific. I'm sure the only chance we had was a standing overhead kick from the edge of the box by Viduka. Sam Allardyce after the game: "I'm a top man in my field and I know it's not good enough, so it doesn't take much for them (fans) to work out it's not good enough. They are not daft. The level of form they have dropped to is unacceptable. Everyone can have an off day, but our off days are really off It was a poor performance - we couldn't cope with Wigan being high-tempo and hard-working. Some of our players have not lived up to their reputation. The front players have not held the ball up and the creative players have not created. Today the appetite to beat the opposition was not there. I'm not happy to have my future in their hands." THE BEST BIT: "You have to roll your sleeves up, wear your heart on your sleeve and go and fight because that is what gets you out of difficult situations" Given Beye Taylor Faye N'Zogbia Milner Smith Geremi Emre Duff Viduka

As you keep saying. To what gain? "ooh look, I was right all along, fuck you idiots" No. This seems too real and good to be true. So this time, i refuse to accept it completely until the takeover is done. Im not too serious here, just refuse to get excited (this time) for my own good

Another fakeover
