Hhtoon

Always sweeter against him as well

We've made life hard for them, we don't actually just let them waltz in to our half without pressing

Wilson is classy as fuck

Not to get ahead of myself as it's just 30mins but Bruce has been going on for months about wanting to change things etc, We get a new coach in for a few days and instant impact. It's nuts and he best not get away with it

This should make Bruce look totally shite that a new coach has made us look completely different, but some morons will likely give him the plaudits

Not just sitting in our half waiting for them....what is this sorcery??

Getting people in the box. WTF has Bruce been doing all this time....

"Carlo was telling me how well we played against Leeds"

Yeah lots of links and £50m was touted. Might have been garbage of course but he was a different player at the time

I'm loathe to read it but hopefully it's a long the lines of keeping him out of the way whilst someone (hopefully) competent can sort the team out.

From my reading of the Athletic article, the consortium would complete the takeover if relegated but it would be a "pain in the arse" and they would revisit the fee. But we are very much the "right" club. Ashley increased the asking price on completion of last season so he hasn't got much of a leg to stand on. Ashley has had other interest but is not engaging with anyone else as PIF are paying in one hit and there are other opportunities. Obviously might change and relegation would be fucking annoying (for fans especially!) but doesn't seem a deal-breaker (usual caveats on buyer sources etc)

"Wigan was always going to work out for us thanks to the backing of Dave Whelan. A lot of clubs could take inspiration from his way of working. Assess the people you’re hiring. Are they good at what they do? Are they committed? Creative? Then stick by them. With Mr Whelan’s backing, we had the comfort to work as we wished. Three times we were bottom, or joint-bottom, of the Premier League with 10 games of the season left. Three times we escaped relegation. The consistency of our work always came through in the end." I'm not sure that's my definition of "working out"

Again...what exactly in Jones record makes anyone think he's going to improve us? Unless I've missed something I don't see much past a few years of mediocrity at low level. Fair enough if he was 20, but this guy is 50 and isn't exactly a newby to coaching Lots of great assistant coaches that don't make the grade as a manager/head coach. If he can get shit down behind the scenes then great - even if it's getting the players settled and training properly

como esta el tocino

Especially Bruce.

ASM buys everyone else some extra space

Schar breaks over the halfway line and there's about 2 people ahead of him. Are they told to stay back?? It's nuts

They're having a post goal chill out

Carried the ball 25 yards and nee one making an effort to get in the box. The players want Bruce here as much as we do. Yup, Leeds get a sniff and they swarm forward

One person in the fucking box for Lewis....

"young Murphy's mum and dad came in complaining that he wasn't allowed to play with his friends even though he always turns up for training, so I felt it was only fair that he was allowed a game"

Wait. Patience. Good things are coming. Future. Tanks. Logical.

Wor flags obviously operating on a reduced budget

Yup and hope he buggers off. If I was doing shit at work and they sent a couple of people to "help" me I'd take it as a massive slap in the face.

You have to question any local who is prepared to work for Ashley, at NUFC. And sadly, I include Harper and Ameobi in that. Under other circumstances I'd agree. But relegation would likely kill off any chance of a takeover. If he is a local who cares, help steady the ship, and the takeover does happen, he should be lauded as a hero. Bruce isn't capable of doing it on his own...
