There's been nothing but silence from both sides during every potential takeover. Silence is the key word. Perhaps there has been silence during every 'potential' takeover because there is not and never has been a potential takeover. There's nothing to say if there is nothing. Just like there is now. Nothing. Why are we so gullible? If there’s nothing going on it would be easy for the club or any intended buyer to rubbish any buyout claims. ....like they haven't done for all of the 'takeovers'?

Disagree completely. Why should the other employees take the burden when the equity holder is a billionaire and makes all the decisions regarding the club? Why is football the only industry where we have this attitude? Footballers are employees and are pair so highly because they generate massive revenue. We don’t hear hedge fund managers being asked to pay for the clearers wages do we? The usually political points scoring from Khan and the Tories. And I disagree with you 100%. This is nothing to do with politics, it's about being a decent human being. Decency and Human Being isn't in Ashleys dictionary. Do you remember when KK first came to us? The club were in dire straights and couldn't afford Terry Mac's wages. KK wanted him as his assistant, so he paid Terry Macs wages out of his own pocket. That's the mark of a decent human being. Ashley is a cunt, and we all know that, he doesn't give a fuck about the feelings of anyone, so getting rid of all the non 1st team players is no big deal for him. Imagine being a player for NUFC today. You're earning more in a week than most other people in the club earn in a year. The tea lady, the person who cleans the kit, the guy who cuts the grass and the one who runs the shop. How could you ever look them in the face again if you did nothing? I know that KK would have got his 1st team together, told them they're taking a 50% pay cut so that Mary, Tony, Betty and all of the support staff could keep feeding their families, pay their rent etc. This is not about politics or being a millionaire or a billionaire. It's about human decency and it's shameful that Shelvey and all of them seem happy to let Mary, Tony and Betty lose their jobs while doing fuck all themselves and earning crazy amounts of money. Nothing to do with politics, where are the decent people?

God I so desperately hope and pray that the stock market continues (for Fraser at least) to collapse and wipe out this disgusting piece of shit. Ashley, may your shares plummet unto the ground and beyond. The cold wrath of god is upon you and thee shall die like the vermin you are.

Please tell me that this is sarcasm? Please?

Wouldn't that be glorious? Let the public and the press pillory him, boycott his retail empire and let him die a long, slow death....

He is simply low life. To even contemplate trying to make money from his crappy stores while people are dying, and use 'fitness' as an excuse to get the gullible and vulnerable into his shops - spreading the virus around to all and sundry while they do so - is an act of unforgivable cuntiness beyond any cuntiness he has done in his entire shitty life. I hate the bastard more than I ever thought possible, and desperately hope he contracts this virus and dies horribly.

Aye its annoying but not worth having a yearly cry over. Oh yes it is. Every time I see or hear Bruce. Just think, we got rid of Rafa for Bruce......

Joke?

This quote from a supposed fan on Facebook: 'Such a shame there aren't more as honest as him, a hand full of dicks still living in the past and refuse to acknowledge or respect his hard work' Am I in the real world or not?

Lee Ryder is such a creep - really can't stand this Bruce loving, Ashley arse licker and his stupid useless crap comments. A journalist? A waste of oxygen more likely./

It's a while since this post was commented on. Is anyone else seriously sick of VAR? I was really for it (being a cricket fan and that works well) but it is just a mess. Utterly marginal decisions by a millimetre. Delays. Lack of celebration until reviewed. The whole point of it was to stop blatant bad decisions by referees, not what's going on now. Scrap it asap and let's get back to an error prone game. Opnions?

Credit?? He deserves credit? For our stunning style of football? For our awesome tactics? For 'uniting' the club? for standing up to Ashley? I give this dinosaur zero credit for anything. Anything.

I was about to do the same. Reading it now. This should be printed out and given to very one of the 50,000 numpties who will certainly go to the next home game singing wor Brucies name.

Exactly. It just sounds like ASM wanted to play but Bruce decided not to risk him. That's a scenario that gets played out every week at any professional football club. A disagreement is not the same as a 'fallout' which 'places the player's future in doubt'. Come on, guys, we know what journos do. You may not rate Bruce as a manager but I trust his word far more than the Daily Mail. Anyone who uses the word 'trust' in the same sentence as 'Bruce' probably needs a lobotomy (if not already undertaken) In my humble opinion.

Heh heh, Brucey's not daft, if the result goes the wrong way he can shrug his shoulders and point the finger at Joelinton. Who he rubber stamped for 40 millions as he is nobody's puppet. Can it be possible to rest Gayle 'because he's tired' and then play Joe, who is clearly on the top of his form? As ever with this guy, words fails me.....

Would also take Stevie Nicks, Stevie Wonder or Ali G, Steve Cougan, Steve McQueen, Steve from the chip shop round the corner.........

So why has it taken him so fucking long to set his team up his way? This is one of the worst quotes I've ever read or heard from any manager, in any division anywhere on the planet. How does he get away with this? Utter, fucking, useless moron.

I simply won't have this sordid, shocking, inappropriate comparison. It's just grossly unfair on tampons everywhere....Think man, how would you feel being compared to Bruce???

A really honest and accurate assessment from Nobby. I have little time for Joe because, even with 2 or 3 shots a game, he should still score every four or five games. 1all season is pathetic. But, Nobby is right - how dreadful is the service he gets? And that's down to coaching. And guess who is responsible for that? Case for the prosecution rests, my Lord.

If we change formation and win, I am happy to give Bruce the credit. But if we end up all over the place and he ends up reverting to Rafa's back 5, then he's getting no credit whatsoever. That said, if he can make us look like a functional team which looks well instructed with a game plan, then of course he should deserve some praise. Hahahaha!! When has he EVER made us look like a functional football team?

Agree. Let just call it 'Ashley is a cunt' thread?

Oh if there is a God, I hope so. As big a humiliation as is possible on a football pitch, please?

We are a shameful club in every way. Ashley has brought us - dragged us - into the gutter. £850 a week? For fucks sake.......we get what we deserve....

I have never seen ten headless chickens (I exclude Dubs from this mayhem) but I suspect that the team Bwucie puts out against Burnley - whatever effing formation he thinks or hopes it might turn out to be - will be the nearest thing to it. Who is supposed to be where? Who is supposed to pass to who? Seriously can't wait to see this. (We'll probably win to spite us all. Fucking Bruce)
