Sean

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.

I don't think he's being stupid at all. He knows he can say and do whatever the fuck he likes with minimal backlash. I don't think he's shocked at the reaction to Bruce at all, it was exactly the reaction he was looking for. He's not ambitious like he says, it's empty words to keep the idiots paying him money. The whole interview is lies, as usual.

Don't believe anything he said in that interview. He may have received one, he may not. But this propaganda piece is not based on fact, lets be honest.

he knew last summer he could never change Ashley ffs. That’s why he told them in May after one meeting. Fuck sake it is possible to believe Ashley is a cunt who fucked Rafa about and didn’t share his ambition and also believe Rafa saw a way out and a lucrative one at that Saw a way out? He saw no way to take this club forward so was left with no other option basically, you're making it sound like he has some blame to share here which is not the case at all.

Unfortunately I think mike is right on this one. He and you have never been more wrong A lot of it is no doubt bullshit but don’t think Rafa is as innocent as everyone thinks he is Explain. Rafa played a fantastic game the whole time he was here. Leaking stuff to the press at the perfect times. One example being Rafa’s people informed sky that he’d be at the training ground? Why? Coz it would whip the fans into a frenzy. I love Rafa and I hate Ashley but Rafa played a good political game Your taking Pete Graves' word for that. Might be true, but I would't believe him as far as I could throw him. He peddles Ashley's lies.

This.

"I hope we're not finished at Joelinton." :lol: I'm slowly getting through the articles, it's hilarious the shite that comes out of his mouth.

It's interesting because it gives another insight into the mindset behind his hatred for and trolling of the fans....he knows he can do whatever the fuck he wants at this stage and face no backlash I feel.

Notice he only does propaganda pieces in papers? No hard questions, nothing. Just pure bullshit, from a man proven to be a liar by a court of law. Hope it causes more cancellations. Also, nothing about a 'takeover' in there. Apart from him saying he might never sell. Where the fuck have BZG gone anyway? You think if legit they might have something to say. Oh yeah, they said not to blame Mike for it not happening.

:lol: If it wasn't obvious to everyone before, it surely is clear he's trolling us for shits and giggles now.

Please let it be true and enforced.

It's still a hell of a lot less than they should be paying. Thats before we even count the 10 years they didn't even pay a penny for.

Funny how they've now stopped putting 'statements' out, and that loon Midhat has stopped communicating with fans via whatsapp. From the information we know, they seem shady as fuck.

I think Ashley has been telling him what to say. Club propaganda at it's finest.

You could be forgiven for believing the name of the club is Sportsdirect.com Newcastle United Sportsdirect.com.

Why don't you post under your other account any more?

We've still hardly spent a penny ffs. Theres no way we're paying £40 million for him either, it's undisclosed as usual. Still enough to get some over-excited though I see.

Summed up my thoughts. Don't think I've ever been less interested in football even.

Not happy with his earlier one Sean brings us a follow up ‘I told you so’ He'd have to be right for it to be an 'i told you so'. Right about what? I haven't said they're fake, I haven't said they're the real deal either. I'm just sceptical. Nothing to be right/wrong about. Unless you mean the fact I've said all along the 'takeover' was never going to happen? A blind man could have seen that from the moment the wankers at the S*n broke the story of "Newcastle have been sold - but not actually sold". Anyway, seeing as so many are convinced BZG are for real, I eagerly await seeing which football club they go on to buy in the near future. Not holding my breath though. Have a look at what’s on the front page of the Daily record. I posted it a few posts above and that’s your answer. These shit little deals will be right thru the club. No business man not even wealthy ones would accept deals like that Yeah I agree. We won't know how badly he's done us over until he's gone. I just see that they could have been for real (but naive in thinking they could buy it off him, if you look at his past record of 'selling' us) and that happened, but I think it would be foolish to completely discount the possibility that they could be connected to Ashley through associates/friends and have played along with him. I don't see any proof either way really.
