Didn’t see who it was, but someone scored a ‘Mo Diame v Brighton’ goal yesterday in the lower leagues

Maybe with the exception of Carroll, you could make a case for each and every one of those players on the bench to be starting

Every defeat puts Bruce at more risk. The question should be, why would you want to win and keep him here? That question has been answered a million times over on here. While there is a chance of a takeover it makes sense to want to stay in the Premier League. We’re that late in the season now winning and staying up is the most important thing. They’re never sacking Bruce either. We’ll have a better chance of staying up if we lose today and Bruce is sacked.

Want to lose because of Bruce. Plus the more likeable players aren’t involved (Fernandez, Miggy, ASM, Wilson). Don’t want to lose because it’ll probably cause us to go down, even if Bruce is peddled. Draw?

Brighton proving you need a good quality striker at this level. Last week against WBA and tonight would’ve been 6 points with one.

If you’re just passionate and optimistic then fair enough I just completely fail to understand how some of the things you twist into a positive could possibly be that way

Part of me thinks manorpark is so over the top, that he could possibly be someone on the wind up. You have to go back to the 19th Feb for his last post that wasn’t in either takeover thread. It was in the Project Big Picture thread, talking about Newcastle as a European giant after the takeover. Clearly not interested in engaging properly about Newcastle, other than to post unrealistic s*** about the takeover which sounds more and more like the stereotypical nonsense that comes out of pundits.

It’s no surprise really. We had some people claiming PIF’s statement pulling out was a good thing and another of these ‘tactical moves’ Sounds like it’s unlikely there will be any movement or news on this until relegation status is confirmed, we may as well forget about it until at least May.

Na. Thinking about it then it’s very possible they knew they wouldn’t win this battle but sets them up nicely to go to war. Sacrificed a pawn as this guys biased is now in focus and he can’t exert it over proceedings or they’ll be all over it making the judgement to not replace him look the wrong one. It may be a decent secondary outcome, but the overall aim was to remove him. That didn’t happen. His bias may be in focus, but on the flip side you could say it makes him/PL very aware of it so if there is any dodgy dealings, they’ll be very carefully covered up rather than an accidental mishap caused by complacency. This wasn’t a win. It was a loss. It’s good to see the club are intent on progressing it and it’s clear the club are willing to push this all of the way. All of which is good news. But we don’t need to try and twist/seek out positive news from every development

Yeah Trying to claim it as a victory is weird. They didn’t pursue a High Court judgement intending to lose it.

Chronicle in full propaganda mode.

That reads like a Football Manager news item.

If it was that straightforward why wouldn’t the consortium just set up an investment vehicle through a Delaware company? Something tells me things have changed since 2015, or the PL do know exactly who owns Palace.

Yeah, I think it’s multiple too.

Explain the date The company set up by the consortium to take over NUFC was incorporated in very early January 2020. News didn’t break until late January/early February IIRC. The deal was obviously at a very, very advanced stage by that point. Just goes to show how little anyone knew about it really. Also interesting we were still pissing around with the O&D test 6 months later. Edit - also reveals Staveley’s husband is likely to play a key role in the club too. I thought everyone knew this? Where have you been for the past 14 months? The whole of 2020 was spent looking at every company Staveley set up I don’t recall this specific one ever being focused on tbf. I also didn’t personally realise her husband was going to be so involved (as in being listed as a Director). Maybe I did know A lot has happened in the last 12 months.

50-50 possession when the opposition had 10 men for 45 minutes

The hearing was published on 24/02/2021. Maybe cynical of me, but interesting NUFC decided to release a statement drawing attention to it today. Certainly takes the conversation away from Bruce. Also interesting no journalists were aware of it (or even aware the hearing took place in January).

So after all of the companies house searching... This is the one we needed: https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/12388231 Interesting date of incorporation...

If he wasn’t biased before this, surely he will be a bit cheesed off now we’ve taken to the High Court to try and remove him from the panel?

Oh good. Changing the rules again to accommodate VAR.

Even if that sports scientist thing was true, can the players not attend for tactical meetings? Weird how we’re the only PL club that has this advice from sports scientists.
