This is my view also. People keep saying he'll sell in the PL, but he's proven he never will. Even if someones interested and has the cash waiting. We don't know he'll sell if the club stays down the leagues, but it's got to be worth a try.

I think cunt is a word Bruce has earned now.

Idiot, patsy, Ashley's man, fool are a few words that come to mind. Cunt probably also actually. Rafa saw improvement as constant, every day, every game, every season. A project. This dunce thinks improvement/progression is to stay up and try for a cup. What a tool.

Cuckold FC at it again Dickhead fans. Ashley loves them for that. Just why? I just can't comprehend the mentality at this point. They should have been singing Rafa's name ffs.

Speaking of which, facebook (I know I know) people seem to think that Darlow is amazing I can remember an idiot on here saying Darlow was better than Dubravka a while ago. Thick is thick.

Just had a chance to properly read his PR piece from the other day and this stood out to me: He says of Bin Zayed Group there was no bid to speak of, although later contradicts that with this: “The last bid, the one from UAE, he’s a prince and he’s got £38bn or £100bn, all these numbers — well, why would you even care what you’re paying then? What difference would £10m either way make? You would want speed, you would want certainty, you would want the keys and to get on with it.” He can't even be straight with anything. Unless he means imaginary bids.

This is so fucking true man.

Would you have to be a mastermind to put out fake takeover rumours? Would you fuck. Theres no proof either way, so best to keep an open mind. Now people who thought the takeover was going to happen (or had happened)...

Might as well change the thread title to Brucey give us a wave - I still can't believe that was supposedly sung. Bet Ashley was in heaven hearing that.

The whole sorry caper is too much for me; what makes it worse is knowing an insignificant percentage are willing to stand up for themselves. Nearly 50,000 people think what's happened is good enough. I genuinely think I'd feel a lot better if I knew the place was going to be empty against Arsenal. I'd still feel part of something. Instead, I feel completely detached. I'm off to Bradford City next week, I can't wait. This is it for me too, detached is the perfect word. I just feel so far away from those people, I can't comprehend anyone facilitating the continuation of the destruction of everything this, or any football club, should represent.

I wonder if Geordie Whisperer is number 9 off here? Would make sense given the shite he posts.

Yeah, he's far too good to waste the best years of his career at this car crash of a club.

Fat Sam and Pardew is my guess.

Just kill me now. What the actual f*** is wrong with our fans? Anyone singing that is an absolute tool. I'm gonna have to say they were taking the piss. Honestly? So they laughed at Bruce after he waved and it was obvious they were taking the piss? Or not? I don't have a clue myself, have just seen it posted on here.

Just kill me now. What the actual fuck is wrong with our fans? Anyone singing that is an absolute tool.

Just seen the score, didn't even know or care we were playing a friendly today. Result made me smile though.

It was done a day before I believe... He knew about the tax bill and that the heat would be on S***** D***** beforehand though, lets be honest. Why else do a very rare interview about NUFC to be released a few hours after finally releasing the results? It's a distraction tactic. A good one at that tbh.

Yep. This also lends credence to 'takeovers' being a deliberate distraction tactic too. It's the way he rolls.

I am an outsider so feel free to disregard this post. Couple of points. Why is he is NUFC through and through a criteria to fill the most the important position in a 100 million dollar operation? This point is not just at Newcastle but at other clubs also. It also seems to be a common line to justify PFM appointments at other places. I get it if the person has a unique connection, best placed to incorporate a style of football due to his past connection with the club like Guardiola or Keegan. Or the person can use his legendary status to make changes which other people cant, like Zidane. But otherwise, does it matter? Especially with someone as shit as a resume as Bruce. I am dreading the time, the calls for Gerrard to take over, start in the media. If he is definitely NUFC through and through and has the club at heart, why did he manage Sunderland? It is not like he needed the money? He had opportunities to manage NUFC in the past which he turned down. Steve Bruce might have a soft spot for NUFC, but let us be honest. He is here because at this stage in his career, no other club with even half the profile of NUFC in the premier league would touch him with a bargepole. That is the only reason. He probably cannot believe the fact that he is at a PL club. He also knows that even if he fails miserably, as long as he is being discussed in the media (which your club will ensure due to its profile), PFMs are like whac-a-mole, will pop up somewhere. never seen a bad post from this lad, always on the fucking money Yep, always worth reading his views. He gets it a lot more than some actual supporters of the club, that's the mad thing.

I think Ashley has been telling him what to say. Club propaganda at it's finest. Even clearer Ashley's told him what to say now. They're both singing off the same hymn-sheet (KBA).

They've clearly spent weeks coming up with something that is vaguely believable when coupled with Ashley's "oim just a normal flawed bloke" routine. Not surprising if it's swallowed by those only keeping one eye on the situation, but utterly depressing that there are actual fans of the club that stlll haven't realised the only consistent behaviours with this bloke are deceit and self interest. Any excuse not to make a difficult decision. Agree. I'm so so far away from the train of thought of those people that I find myself wanting the club to burn tbh. People paying Ashley are paying to destroy the club, so they deserve to see it disintegrate before their very eyes. It's what they've paid for after all.

Exactly, I can only put it down to some media outlets either knowing it'll get the backs up of Toon fans and using it as clickbait or the journos involved are genuinely incredibly lazy! The mind boggles at how ridiculously naive the fucking tools are! They can't be that fucking thick. Nobody can. They're happy to write shite, whether that angle of believing Ashley is pushed on them from the editors/senior staff at the papers, who knows. Or whether they just enjoy winding fans up (Luke Edwards and Pete Graves most certainly fit into this category) because they are monumental cunts is also possible.

Doesn't it just. I had arguments with people saying that he had to sell to BZG as the backlash would be too big if he didn't. What backlash?

Yeah, Bruce doesn't do tactics so could do with a big man to aimlessly lump the ball towards to help relieve the pressure during a 4-0 drubbing. Makes sense when you think of it in those terms. This season is going to be a laugh a minute.

Rafa bins the trash, Bruce caresses it and tell it sweet nothings. World class vs championship. Urgh. How can anyone write this absolute shite like? He's fucking shit. Although no doubt Bruce probably does rate him (says a lot about the quality of manager we now have). It'll be a lot easier for me to want the club to crash and burn and lose every week if this useless ginger pube is playing. Therefore I hope he's vice captain this season.
