I agree to an extent. I think we should all be wiser by now though and rather not see another great manager taken the piss out of by Ashley. Bruce is the perfect guy to work for him and represent his company.

depends, if it was someone exciting I could at least watch the matches on TV. And that's why I'd rather Bruce stay. I want every fan to turn their back on Ashley's club. They don't even deserve support on the telly

Would anyone be happy if Ashley sacked Bruce (not happening like) and appointed someone a bit better? I just don't see the point. The club is dead whilst Ashley is here, so I can't think of a better fitting manager for this version of NUFC.

Fuck that, I'd love this to actually start to look like it might happen. We've had enough rumours and supposed itk's. Recent results and Bruce being in charge are irrelevant really, this is all about Ashley. On another note, given the NCSL goons recent social media posts, they are starting to come across as if Wraith has something to do with them

This. I'm a bit tired of seeing posts blaming Bruce when Ashley is the cause of all our problems, and has been for nearly 15 years now.

Ashley definitely is.

This and one flew over the midfielders heads are inspired

Merry Christmas everyone! We might not all agree on the likelihood, but lets hope this is the year we finally do see the back of that fat cunt

I wouldn't go into the Covid thread having admitted to something like that

Makes for sad reading. I feel exactly the same (well not the 70 years part). Merry Christmas Rafa.

Fucking hell. Are they turning into the Mike Ashley appreciation society or something? What a shambles man.

If Bruce was to be sacked, the future is still shit for this club. It's takeover or bust.

His employer is Mike fucking Ashley. He's in no danger at all. He's literally Ashley's perfect manager, as Pardew was a while ago. He'll probably get an 8 year contract in January.

Forgot this was on. It's becoming a bit of a habit lately and I feel much better for it Anyway nice to see Ashley's club out of the cup.

I can’t even watch these clips on here. yup. Rafa interviews are now up there with the likes of the 95/96 season. things i can't bring myself to watch. Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all Definitely.

Ashley is responsible for Bruce being here. Getting angry at the symptom and not the cause is pointless in my opinion. We've had nearly 15 years of this shit. If Ashley is here another 15 you can guarantee he will appoint more of the same. The worst is probably yet to come.

Luckiest team (read: manager), ever. I'll keep repeating this as it just gets more ludicrous by the game

Yep. On Wraiths podcast a few weeks ago he could hardly keep a straight face when talking about it with Liam Kennedy.

It's now more than 3 years since Staveley and Ashley got pissed together for the cameras at that curry house: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-5160769/Ashley-Staveley-snapped-Newcastle-takeover-talks.html The story that never ends ffs

His "cans in a few weeks" statement is now 7 weeks old and counting. Why did he have to post stuff like that to get peoples hopes up if it wasn't going to be accurate. It's always the way when it comes to talk of takeovers here though. What a surprise eh

We’re still waiting... Give it to Friday...

I celebrated more watching that goal than I have for one of ours since Rafa left

Nice win. Makes me consider starting up again, but I've lost so much interest in the game I would be throwing my money away at this point Probably not great to admit this but betting is only thing keeping me interested these days I can see your point GDM

Or preferably just die
