Hmmm, maybe the will spend between now and then getting their ducks in a row and then let him go? Anyway Bruce has taken up enough of my time - Im going to give the owners some space to see what they come up with.

Its a cartoon in the really shit Guardian, that is scrambling for donations as no-one reads it anymore. NUFC fans are fair game and will be until something else pops up that needs the mob to jump on. Just smile, relax and always remember, Ashley is gone.

7 games into a 38 game league - we all know this squad is not a bottom 3 squad, we just had a bottom 3 owner and manager, holding them back. 2 wins and things will look totally different.

Conte, Mourinho etc are not going to come in to NUFC, with a shit squad and is currently 2nd bottom. The next manager is a manager to get us up the league and to start to bring in better players. Hopefully we will then be in the top 10 and then the Conte/Mourinho's of this world will become interested. The next manager is not the end game, its a building block, IMHO

Papers, journalists, radio, TV and social media are going to be at NUFC fans for weeks. Need to just ignore it if you can. - Peak of accusations when Bruce is fired - Peak of accusations either way when Toon/Spurs win on Sunday - Any other big news events Hopefully each peak will be less than the previous as they move onto other stories

Corrected it for you.....you're welcome

Whatever, I see they aren't allowing comments. If only NUFC fans could have that luxury......

Oh dear, Boos on Sunday when Spurs take a 2 goal lead..........

lets see how the week pans out. I think they should have got rid today but Im not the owner. If he is still here for the game on Sunday then I think Amanda may be shocked by the reaction of the crowd to Bruce especially if we start losing.

Media, dont know what they have planned. Just look at all rumours and that flying round - 99.9% are just guesses. If they are going down the Sport Director route then - this needs to be sorted 1st before a manager is hired. Still fire Bruce and put Jones in as caretaker.

wonder if Amanda has been dreading meeting Bruce all weekend as she knows what she has to do?

Im ignoring all the transfer names being banded about. They are all plucked out of the air as we dont even have a new manager in place. Im paying more attention to the Sporting Director talk as that, for me, is the 1st building block and will likely dictate what manager they will bring in. In regards to league position and how long. By the end of next season, I could well see us in the top 10 - possibly pushing for a Europa slot. I dont think the gap between us and the teams upto top 7 is that big. It just that Ashley wasn't interested in aiming higher and Bruce, well, all he aims for is getting a full breakfast, anything else is a bonus!

NUFC crowd peer pressure will sort it out in my opinion, not 20+ articles in papers. Look what happened with the TF Saudi T shirt.........NUFC fans jumped on them telling them to take it down (me included) and it was taken off after a few hours.

You dont even know me if that is indeed directed at me? I was pointing out that the number of articles telling the NUFC fan base what they should do, is off the scale. Maybe if they had taken more interest during the 14 years of Ashley and supported the NUFC fans when they called out, then maybe PIF would never have come on the scene? Also, whilst waving Saudi flags, wearing tea towels on head or wearing masks, I personally wouldn't do, its up to individuals to make a decision. Im sure within a few weeks all that will stop naturally anyway. Its just the excitement of a new era and we dont need Media telling us what we should and shouldn't do for that to happen.

Oh look another article telling NUFC fans what they should do............ We are the righteous/most moral supporters the world has ever had, we are the Geordies, the Geordie moral compass of the UK, and we are woke and we are right on!

0, its only 7 games into the new season. Plenty of time to turn this round. A few wins and we will be mid table before we know it. The squad is fine for mid table at the moment, it was the manager that was holding us back, not the squad.

Hasn't that been tried before...........Positive Takeover thread.........just say

Papers will be chucking names into the ring the for the next 3 months. As if the Amanda etc is briefing the papers on targets...... It only day 4 of new ownership. I must admit though, it makes a pleasant change from the tumbleweed on transfer speculation that we were used to under Ashley's reign!

Seems to me its an attack on anything and everyone. I read it, shrugged shoulders and moved on. Its absolutely pointless engaging with him or others at the moment. Let them vent their spleen and the tantrum will subside!

Give them time guys. We all agree Bruce should go asap. We dont need a superstar manager at this stage. We need a good manager that can get us up the league. Its highly unlikely the 1st manager they hire, will be the manager that wins us something. Slowly slowly catchy monkey.

This thread will be one big argument but I understand the sentiment. Personally I dont think about it to be honest and I wont in future. I expect Amnesty etc will be at the home games from now on. I will acknowledge if approached but politely decline any leaflets they try to hand out. As many have said, the Government and PL have made their bed with the Saudis, why it should be fans to take a stand, I just can't compute!

Buckle up Toon fans.......I think we are in for one hell of ride! Loving it!

People can talk all they want, they can virtu-sign all they want, I can't stop them but I wont respond to them. Why? Because I have no control of what Saudi Government does and doesn't do. If the people of Saudi can't force change then why would a NUFC fan, thousands of miles away, be expected to? You could have 52000 geordies protesting (yeah right) every game and it wouldn't make a difference. Im not wasting my time, energy or thought on whether I should feel conflicted because I dont. Im am going to support NUFC and enjoy the ride, for a change!

Quick wins: - Sack Bruce - Remove Sport Direct signage - Communicate high level plans to fans Do the above and that buys them time to do a full review and prep for Jan window!

You can't have Amanda saying things like PL champs in 5 to 10 years and then keep Bruce on with his ' well you know, Norwich are a big team and we HOPE we can beat them'. Get rid asap. Spurs game is going to be a celebration. You can't have that and Bruce in the dugout..........its just wrong on so many levels!
