I rescind this. Actively dislike him now.

If they're doing instalments so that they can invest in the club short term then I don't see the problem. Not many people who can afford to buy outright and spend 100-150m on the infrastructure and squad improvements needed off the bat.

Dear God. He's like a caricature of a PFM.

Some right dicks on this forum. There's still kids and the like going to the games and they absolutely should not be subjected to racist, sexist and other abuse. Even if its not directed at them, they don't need to hear/see it. Its completely separate to any protests, and if NUST did become a militant anti-NUFC/Ashley group then I'm sure they wouldn't be allowed any contact with the club. It's also more than likely that the club employees they are liaising with have probably never met Ashlsy and are decent people wanting to do their job and protect the supporters who are going. I get the scorched earth approach people might want to take with the club at the mo, but if we ever get rid of Ashley, people seem to expect that everything will immediately start being rosy. In reality, any issues mentioned by Greg not dealt with now will still be there regardless of ownership.

I don't hate Bruce, but where I used to hunt out all Rafa interviews, I actively avoid Bruce. Unfortunately as a manager is pretty much your main link in to a club, it's left me rather ambivalent

Ha ha fucking hell im not that bad man I don't say anything different to most people on here tbf Just over and over and over and over again and again and again and again

Cheered, couldn't help myself.

He's probably saying this only because he thinks in simplistic terms, but it's actually very patronising, and he should know better. He's effectively saying Steve Bruce should be judged on his local roots, and his actual managerial ability shouldn't be questioned. Does he think all managers should get a free pass if they are local then? I read it differently and think he's almost marginalising Bruce. Reckon he is purely saying you can't blame him for taking the job and it's Ashley's fault for giving it to him when he's not up to it.

Thought a lot of the quotes on here were parodies but amused to realise that they are in fact genuine Sounds like a manager on the brink, not one 2 games in

Back when Hughton was binned, I heard from a reputable acquaintance that Chris is a full on Communist. Apparently he collects Che Guevara stuff and wears a shapka when it's dead cold. According to my source, Hught had been making his mouth go behind the scenes and was calling for a worker's revolution amongst the players and the lasses at the Donnay shop. In many ways the best black manager in the world was the ideal man for fat Ash, as he could make a loaf of bread last a fortnight, and could make Kevin Nolan look like a Premier League player. Ultimately though, a class of ideologies meant that Commrade Chris had to go. Did Midhat tell you this? I'm not Odin. Perhaps the mods can confirm that we usea different IP. Someone with your obvious IT expertise (evidenced by the high level photoshopping) would have no issues with masking your true IP by bouncing it off several satellites. Possibly using multiple VPNs via the dark Web.

D. Yimentov ODIN!!

Out of everything, it's Odins betrayal that still hurts the most.

Craig Hopes article in the Daily Mail is brutal... Highlighting all Bruce's deficiencies! SBs quotes sound like a manager on the brink of a sacking, not someone 2 games in

I don't want to go all RTG, but they're both clearly mackems. Both joined when the takeover was falling apart (CDM 1st) just to stir it up and now they just dig out the fans/club. Which considering most of us are doing so anyway is fairly pointless....

Can't be long surely. As expected he seems clueless... Hopefully the rumours of his low basic is true and the brains trust pull the trigger 10 games in and get a proper manager in.

I get maybe he was a cold fish but surely you want to be part of a decent team? None of our players are likely to be in a team beating City again or matching Liverpool, barring a cheating diver.

Claimed he was hacked shortly after

What a snide fucker. No need to get involved on Rafa.

Haven't got my contacts in and on 1st glance read this as "Buyout Newcastle....." to in a heartbeat

Came in here to see what people thought of the game as I only saw the 1st half and it's horrific. We really need a separate thread for the utter bell ends to do their gloating and usual shite posts that infect every thread. Have no interest in their opinions anymore as it's just full on repeat. They also love just quoting each other without actually adding anything. Why? It's genuinely ruining the forum...

Shhh! You’re not supposed to remember that! Still have to pay him. You know, actual money not just wave some financial accounts at him.

My Dad was born in Durham but as I've never lived in the area I don't get as passionate as many of you. I like to think that makes me slightly more objective but even I think he needs to shut up about it ..... Just makes him seem really small time Just say you're now a manager 1st and fan 2nd or something.

Offers something different, won't be our main striker but can cause problem. Hope he gets some game time and can prove he's not past it.

We played a fucking French team. Probably Colback going in for an obligatory late challenge in the dressing room Or a Brucey PFM old skool initiation
