The timing though... If it smells like bullshit then it’s probably most likely a takeover story about our club. Is anyone biting?

Not sure if you've been watching the news recently, but the share price of SD and every company is doing that all by itself without his help. It's the opposite, the whole thing is flailing and he is desperate for revenue. Definitely, but the nature of a plc, they don’t need to disclose their cash position in real time so we’ll never know how desperate they really are but you can guarantee if this goes on past Easter they’ll be in bother

That’s the own goal of own goals. Cancel culture will be on this as we speak.

The whole thing screams of desperation. I think this is going to hit him hard now. I don’t think it’ll be a case of as you were once this eventually passes. He’ll either borrow against the value of nufc to lend to Sports Direct or he could be more willing to accept an offer for the club. The problem with the second option is if there will still be wealthy people even thinking about buying into football if Coronavirus plays out in a worst case scenario.

Can’t someone just cough on the fucker

I would assume Sports Direct will take a hammering through this virus situation. How affected will MA be in terms of his personal fortune? Could he be forced into cashing in on his assets?

If he caught it, he’d go into intensive care and be moments from dying, only for things to go quiet on his condition and then suddenly we find out he’s made a full recovery. Ventilator watch would be fun though

Bad for NUFC in general though as if there was any interested buyers, the coronavirus business must have killed it stone dead. Our best bet now is to hope the fat b****** contracts it himself and he suffers from acute asthma and diabetes. Reading through this thread, someone suggested that about 6 weeks ago and got ridiculed. It’s scary how quickly a doomsday scenario can become a reality.

Can’t decide whether this global chaos is going to be a good or a bad thing for this vulture.

He’s already spent all his money, you think he’d be doing an event with Steve Wraith if he was rolling in it. He’ll be begging McGregor or Pacquiao for a second fight before the end of the year.

I don’t get the hatred for Steve Bruce. Yeah he’s a shit manager but I knew that before he took the job. He’s totally irrelevant to what the real problem is. All this bickering just distracts the focus off it.

I’m neither happy or annoyed about this. On his day he makes a difference no doubt. He needs consistency. Which at his age is doubtful but you never know, he’s not the most mature lad in the dressing room. Maybe he’ll find a level of professionalism that he hasn’t shown yet.

Jessica Rutherford is a peach.

He's always drinking something There was a moment in the Burnley match last weekend where the camera panned to Bruce who was drinking water. But the bottle was sort of tilted down so he looked like a baby calf suckling at somethings teet.

Can you imagine Tino Asprilla if social media had of been a thing back then? 🙂

They looked knackered over the last 10 mins.

Joelinton has done well in his link up play. Be great if he got a goal, even for a bit of confidence going into the last stretch of the season.

It must be said that when the pressure is on Nigel Pearson performs very well as a manager.

I think we’d (well I’d) prefer to cling on to some hope and that this pain and misery just sort of resolves itself in one dramatic financial transaction that heralds a new day for the club. Except I’ve been wishing this for a significant chunk of my life now. Without hope all that’s left is the reality that our already well fed parasite will continue to feed off the comatosed body that is our club for another decade or more. Some of you might be young enough to wait this one out, others may never see another iteration of this team that you can be proud of. That’s the saddest part of it. It’s ridiculous that we’ve allowed this to happen for so long, where is our backbone?

The Wall Street journal piece has basically disintegrated. First they said advanced talks and a deal could be completed within weeks. Then the celeb friend is brought into the story and the latest is that she brought the deal to the Saudis after meeting Staveley and she couldn’t answer any questions about returns that they asked. And that’s where it was left. Those journalists need to be called out on that. It’s not the daily mail they write for.

He’s not very good at all really. And he’s ahead of Matty and Hayden? Seems like pure stubbornness from Steve Bruce not wanting to admit that he got it wrong with his loan signings.

Approached him with an open mind fully aware of his previous shortcomings as a manager. After all, sometimes a player or a manager can just click really well with a club. But it’s obvious now that it’s not working and never will. How long will the club let this rot continue before they hit the panic button?

Pretty much an average half of football for this team under Bruce

If we were 4/5 points closer to the relegation places, would he still pick Joelinton?

He hires a buffoon. Gives him loads of money to spend. Buffoon gets the club relegated. Hires a brilliant manager. Complains that he can’t afford not compete with big clubs. Brilliant manager gets fed up with no financial support so quits. He then hires another buffoon and gives him loads of money. What is his thought process?
