Obviously gone if we go down. Will be a knife to the heart.

3-0 defeat. We go again.

Palace game is game of the season. They have a bad run and look terrible. If we can win and get close to them in points then it's a shit-off to avoid 18th.

What was he moaning at schar for? Shelvey put himself at left back when we were trying to play out! And nice try on the free kick from 30 yards out

Please get sent off to avoid further team selection. Thanks x

He'll be watching tonight in sheer disbelief at what Bruce has done to these players

We need the news to come out of KSA from the GAC about Bein being allowed to broadcast again. Reading between the lines, if that happens then eventually a deal can be done without arbitration as that would likely drop all the legal cases like the WTO report etc and stop the piracy issues. Bein Jacobs said it could come at some point this week, he's also surprisingly positive about it happening. If it does then its definitely good news for us, if not, then I guess we start firing from the tanks what ever the fuck that means

Let me guess Harry said he's a great bloke who didn't deserve it, and Jamie just repeated it as he doesn't know what else to say?

I actually signed up to the F365 forum in desperation but I never received my confirmation link

To be fair though I've seen the Brentford manager Thomas Frank mentioned on here a few times. I think from what I've seen and heard about from my mate who's a Brentford fan, he's a good manager. Looking at his career, he's only been a professional manager since 2013, never had a top playing career. Was assistant at Brentford for 2 years before getting the top job. Won just 1 of his first 10 before turning it around. They now play nice football and again are battling it out at the top of the Championship. People like Bruce, Hughes etc have the experience of being a top player but means absolutely sod all when it comes to management. There's no reason to say that if Jones ended up as our manager it would go wrong, on paper he's under qualified, but honestly I think he would play better football than Bruce and would have every chance of getting better results.

I do feel for Gayle, Bruce saying about needing ASM and Fraser back on the pitch for more goals and Gayle has hardly had a look in. Would like to see him and Wilson upfront actually and also think ASM would be able to create chances for both of them.

Agree entirely.That was put much better than I was trying to explain in my essay. But he’s about to pay a 6 figure compensation fee to Bournemouth for an extra coach so surely your logic is wrong ? But any manager would want at least a 2 year deal, that would be costly to pay off and definitely more than what the new coach costs. Maybe he's had a discussion with the consortium, and all have agreed that the new coach will keep his job, but they will bring in a new manager in a few weeks once the takeover is completed. I just think there is no way that even Ashley would bring in a new manager now if the takeover is close, it just doesn't make any sense. If the takeover is off or months away, then it makes sense as he needs to do something to avoid relegation and protect the sale (if its still on in the distant future) I just put myself in his shoes tbh, and my decision would be keep Bruce for a few weeks until I'm gone. Let the new owners sort it out.

My twisted opinion is why would Ashley appoint a new manager if the takeover is close? The new manager would need a contract that would need to be paid off by the new owners. Sacking someone who has been in the job a few weeks would not look good. If the takeover was over/long way off, then I think Ashley would bring in a new manager to help protect the club from relegation. As it is, I think he knows its only a few weeks away then it's not his problem anymore, so he's just putting a plaster over the wound and not stitching it.

I think it's more to do with this "Given any exit for Bruce would run up a seven-figure bill and bringing in a new manager would require further funding, Ashley is reluctant to shake things up at the moment especially with the club losing millions in lost gate money and match day revenue." I really can't see it still going on in April/May. It'll either be done or dead by then imo.

If we are having a problem with defensive injury then just go all out attack. His job is under pressure, he has nothing to lose by going for it and getting beat as everyone expects it anyway. But no he'll patch up a leaky defence and get everyone behind the ball.

Hope this can put some minds at rest.... For now!

Leeds on a bad run you say? Oh what could go wrong

Exactly, it's as though MBS has always denied being involved with PIF, and then making this statement. From day 1 it's been known he's the chairman, he then makes a speech and Edwards thinks it's caused problems. He's an absolute dick and just trying to get more clicks and wind people up.

Luke Edwards really is a poor journalist. Where has it ever said MBS isn't anything to do with PIF? The problem is the PL think PIF can be influenced by the state. (e.g financially) This is what is needed to be proven. It has nothing to do with MBS being the chairman.

So basically Bein won't allow the takeover until the media war is settled? Well that's illegal. And that's exactly what the lawyers are working on isn't it? If they win then Bein can't stop the takeover, as the PL will have to allow it?

What the fuck was he doing for the first goal? . Been superb this season but its time to get dubs back in now.

Without the sound just look at his body language when asked about Jones. He's definitely not happy about it. Especially the first few seconds when he realised what the question is.

That's what he's done since day 1 tbf
