So where does Graeme Jones fit into this? Rafa has his own backroom team

Hopefully that will wipe the smirk off Bruces face this evening with his f*cking Frank Sinatra Even just hearing that Rafa is available again

When Fraser was sent off at Sheff Utd he looked delighted with himself, was smiling when he was shown the red card

Any chance that its a player and not a coach/dof. Article says "the arrival of a key figure the club are confident can improve the first team" Maybe PIF or Staveley have identified a "Robinho" type signing and Bruce knowing he will be gone soon has given his blessing?

Warren Barton was pretty vocal last week ..Doubt it would be him though

It wont be Shearer after his comments about Lee Charnley last week. Probably end up with a Roy Evans/ Gerard Houllier scenario

True, regardless of Yedlins ability what the hell does Charnley do day to day. Doesnt talk to the fans, doesnt talk to the players or their agents Total joke this club is

Maybe if he improved his game a bit they might extend his contract

It was mentioned in previous page that Shelvey playing for Swansea against Oxford in fa cup and he just standing up at edge of the box huffing and puffing while Oxford players running past him with ease. The following week he was a Newcastle player, fucking joke this club and their recruitment

Made some important blocks, gave away corners, got up the pitch, couldnt cross the ball and forgot to run back Totally unnecessary signing Must have scouted him once

2 throw ins in a row from Lewis to an Arsenal player

On Tuesday night the camera went onto Ramsdale a couple of time who was having issues with his eyes/ contact lenses No doubt Bruce and our coaches missed that as if they had noticed it they could have drove us on up the pitch and test Ramsdale but no

I think Charnley has been let off the hook too easily. As Shearer has asked where is Charnley? Bruce says he talks to Charnley a few times a day.. about what? Once this takeover goes through Charnley should be the 1st out the door His appointments have been scandalous

Rafa didnt have 100 million to spend.. He had 5 million Joselu and 6 million Atsu.. He wasnt given 13 million for a full back

I think these wishlists of managers is unrealistic. After Rafa left Charnley or our scouts should have been scouring the Continent looking for a European manager Who did we get? Steve Bruce who was only appointed Sheff Wed manager 6 months previously Why or how Ashley thought it was a good idea to pay 4 million compensation for a midtable Championship manager is beyond me. We totally fluked getting Rafa in

Oh I want him out before Villa.. for arguments sake a new manager takes over on Tuesday he would have 4 days with the squad for Villa game With Villa been hit with Covid that could benefit us and then Leeds next who were very poor today that could be 4 points out of 6 for new manager and momentum building Its all the one anyway as it wont happen, Charnley and Ashley dont have a plan like they didnt when Rafa announced he was leaving

Hopefully ( though I doubt it) Charnley or Ashley are contacting potential managers and have them in place for Bruce to be sacked om Tuesday morning. The Villa game is a huge match for us now, hopefully some of their squad will be missing due to Covid

Fulham showing how to play with 10 men against a team who challenging for the top 4. We couldnt do it against Billy fucking Sharp, Jesus wept

Leeds very poor today as were Wolves, we cant depend on other teams so will have to do it the hard way ourselves

This could all have been avoided..Every Newcastle fan knew this was going to happen with Bruce, its the same cycle with every club he has been at. Did Charnley do any research on Bruce The same Bruce who only joined Sheff Wed in Jan 2019 and made them wait for a month for him to start work as he was out in Barbados on holidays watching England cricketers Sheff Wed must have been laughing the whole way to the bank when we offered 4 million compensation only 6 months later Even now it doesnt seem right

Like they could get his opinion on players , and players he would like to buy, If this takeover happens in March then a new manager would have to work with this squad. Its all speculation anyway.. Hopefully Staveley and Co do have a manager in mind and ready to come in as I doubt they will hold onto Bruce

If the Takeover was a month or so away you would imagine Staveley would be in Ashleys ear to sack Bruce and you would imagine the buyers would have a new manager in mind

That stat about Hendrick making 5 tackles in 11 games . Thomas Partey made 4 tackles tonight in his 20 min appearance against Palace

Lazaro went to Monchengladbach on a seasons loan, but ya we wouldnt have paid the 20 million that was rumoured

Could have played Lazaro more last 6 or 7 games last season and he might have stayed. Would have been no needfor Hendrick then
