We were close to relegation under Pardew and Carver and he did fuck all. He likely would have done fuck all about McClaren idf Rafa hadn't made it easy for him.
No valid reason but a history of doing the unreasonable.
Frankly I couldn't give a shit about the takeover. I'd rather fight our way back from the brink with pride, like we did at the beginning of the 90s, than buy the league every other year.
I don't think we've seen the best of him, and even if we have, we've never had the players around him to maximise the return. He could be very useful for somebody.
Edit: What ATF said.
Stick the cunt on a kebab spike and grill him, slice by slice. Microwaving him would be to quick.
Wouldn't even need to force feed him to Bruce. A Brucey bonus.
