It’s like derby day, but without the hours of pant shitting buildup.

He spent a fortune at Sunderland. Funny how that’s excluded.

Sounds like bollocks. Nee lass would get in a car with him.

He’s no where near as hateful as Pardew like.

I support anyone’s right to protest, but why does it have to be coordinated by the biggest, most hypocritical centrist melts? EDIT: It’s a Khashoggi thing obviously, because the people that find that particular thing reprehensible are actually pretty ok with the bombing of Yemeni people with British bought arms.

What an odd man Perfectly positioned to leave with a load of glowing articles about how the new owners didn’t give him a fair crack but he decides to go in two footed on the media.

Do our players like him? Feels like over the last 18 months there’s a steady stream of leaks about him falling out of various squad members.

He’s absolutely fucked and he’s made a fortune. If I were him I’d be spending my days downloading garage music off Bandcamp and fishing too.

Not bad taste.

I’ve never liked this approach. It blurs the lines too much. It’s the reason Mourinho didn’t come here when SBR said he was going to it.

Anything that stops Burnsie from logging on - even a prison sentence - is fine by me.

The worst thing about this entire saga is that the absolute fucking lunatics we had to tolerate for the last 18 months have been proven right - the process was corrupt from beginning to end. Every tinfoil hat suggestion that BeIN and the bigger clubs were lobbying to stop it from happening has been proven correct. Everything from the way the takeover eventually went through to the pant shitting that has followed bears it out. I’m genuinely quite offended at the laziness of the Premier League’s “we’ve found a miraculous resolution to the separation issue” about 12 hours after the piracy stuff was resolved. They think absolutely nothing of supporters. As for those clubs whinging about reputational damage months after trying to fuck the league off entirely? I hope there’s an outbreak of salmonella at the next PL meeting and they shit themselves inside out.

Rodgers would be a class appointment. Probably the best possible one we could make at this moment in time.

I think Christian Falk is enjoying himself.

And what about all the examples of teams who bin off their manager and still lose their next game? Chill out

Yes, because we still look dogshit even with Graeme Jones on the staff and by all accounts he’s basically been co-managing the team.

Who said it’s a good thing? It’s not going to make a blind bit of difference. Jones is a capable coach, but if he was able to impart anything that groundbreaking on the training ground you’d have hoped he’d have done so in the last year when I’m sure he’s already had a massive amount of input. The fact of the matter is we already run with a skeleton amount of staff across the club. I’d guess coaching is no different. Once Bruce goes his minions are likely to follow which leaves who? Jones and Simon Smith as the only non-Bruce related coaches? I’m not even sure what state our youth set up is currently in given the turnover of staff there, so I wouldn’t want to guess how many we could call up to help hold the fort. It’s going to take a few days to work that out. I understand why people want him out the door asap but it doesn’t matter whether he’s sacked in a couple of hours or a couple of days.

A new and unique take on ‘Newcastle fans and their ridiculous expectations’.

If we sack the Steves that’s two thirds of our entire coaching staff gone. They’ll need to put plans in place to actually keep everything ticking over in the interim.

As a fanbase we probably need to get less touchy about this sort of thing. I thought it was a good cartoon. Some of the panels might feel a bit hack but they’re not wrong.

The worst thing about caring about the club again means we’re going to have to deal with our fans being massive spenks.

I don’t understand why people are shitting themselves like. There’s been absolutely no indication that they want to keep him. As much as we’d like him to have been potted first thing yesterday morning in the real world there are things like contracts, admin and even more importantly understanding the impact of sacking most of our coaching staff in preparation for the next game.

I do wish people wouldn’t get wound up by Talksport’s very obvious trolling.

Spent the weekend remembering “to those who banned it up the bum” and having a nice little smile to myself.

Why is the assumption is that he’d elevate them to the level he had us? Everything we know about Ashley’s approach is that he’ll find the club’s natural level, do everything he can to maintain it while insulating himself from any risk. There’s more chance they’ll end up bouncing around the bottom of the Championship.
