"We're bringing Bournemouth to Ritchie!" - Andy Carroll

Here's hoping

Bit worried about who Howe would buy in Jan.

Yeah the DoF and manager situation is a tough one, as we need to be sure they can and want to work together. We're in a precarious position so I'm torn between wanting a quick fix to get us safe this season versus building for the long term now by getting everyone in. I am moving closer to "just get something done", and will probably be more concerned if nothing moves fast during the early part of the international break. Charnley still knocking about - I can't help but chuckle.

Oh go on then

You make a good point, and I tend to agree. I believe in the last week they've realised this, but who they want isn't available, and our position isn't helping. It will only get better I imagine.

I don't know, so that's why I haven't moaned about how long it's taken.

It has. How fast do you think you could get in a CEO, DoF and manager that meet the requirements and are also available?

It's amazing how many shit takes there are in this thread. Yeah it's not a fantastic process at the moment, but the sale going through when it did came as a shock to all. There isn't a structure in place like there is or would be at other clubs yet. "Been an absolute shit show since Amanda walked thru the door." - grow up for fuck sake, try a bit of critical thinking for once.

SHOW HIM THE MONEYY!

If he really wanted to be here, the leak or pressure wouldn't put him off. He's my first choice of those discussed, but it's more important we bring someone in who is 100% set on being here.

Edwards makes me laugh, we can all report things at face value. The difference between us and a journalist is supposed to be that they get the scoop. His bitterness towards Newcastle in his tweets, to the uninitiated, must make him look two steps behind everyone else, not just the one.

Wouldn't go with Nuno right now. It's unlikely that he's been watching / analysing the team like the other prospective candidates will have.

Our time will come.

Let's go 4-4-fookin'-2, get papiss in for one game, and play him up top with big Cally Wuh

Not sure why some people are getting so flustered at the moment. It must be some sort of learned trauma from the previous regime. Just look at where we're at. Ashley is gone, we have new owners that (appear) to care about the club and the area, and Bruce is gone. Chelsea is a free hit, and the new owners want to get the right people in. Say we go down this season? We will still have the richest owners in club football, we will still come back up - how many of us were saying we'd take league one with no ashley as long as we had ambitious owners? Okay, so maybe while we're out of the division the owners and directors test gets changed, do we really think that'll stick? Money talks. There was many of us clamouring to be taken over by just about anyone, Bin Zayed Group?! Just imagine how much of a shitshow that could've been. We need to relax a bit, regardless of what happens on the pitch it is now guaranteed to get better, we have hope. Waiting another week to get another manager in is nothing compared to over a decade of waiting for new ownership, and not only did we get new owners, we hit the jackpot. Let's chill out.

This is what would happen if Bruce was "given a chance" to spend money under our new owners.

I'm so nervous. What is this?

Ando you tease

Football fans of all clubs are largely the same. There are of course events and incidents that can influence elements of a fan base or those outside of it, i.e. Chelsea fans are racist, scousers are victims, geordies are delusional and punch horses. It's all nonsense. There are always smaller elements of a group or fanbase that unfortunately exaggerate the sensibility of those that comprise the majority. People aren't that different in their response and reaction to things going on around them. If you put one set of supporters in the situation of another group of supporters it wouldn't be much different after a period of time. I despise all this 'holier than thou' that is permeating amongst the fans of other clubs at the moment. It's funny really. Newcastle, not a big club apparently, yet we're such a small club that the world and his wife has an opinion on us. They need to start looking inwards a bit more and fuck off while they do it.

Wonder what proportion of those outraged at the Bruce name calling are also sick of outrage culture and think everyone is too quick to be offended nowadays.

Overseeing 7 wins in 37 without resignation at a club you supposedly love is antagonising enough. Then take into account things he has said to the press, backhanded remarks, digs at beloved managers etc

Would be mint to get ward-prowse

Who is Miles Jacobson and why is he crying?
