Considering some of the shite Puma have given us over the years I’m happy with Castore - their sportswear looks class! If they can bring that style to their footy kits we might actually have a top we’d be happy to wear, for the first time in what, 5 years? 

It all looks rubbish imo, nevermind the quality control issues that rangers saw with their merchandise.

We will stay up. Ashley will be here all next season. Bruce will be here all next season. We will get a few loans and frees in the summer and be 12th-16th next season too. We will have 48k crowds whenever fulll stadiums are allowed. That’s my prediction to look back on in 12 months. 

Ashley gets another year of PL money and hassle free ownership of the club. I think he is playing a blinder and playing us all for fools again using this arbitration stuff to keep fans off his back and to get away with another year of neglect. As the media tell us why should he improve the club as he is desperate to sell it

Completely agree. And I’ll chuck in a new Bruce contract for good measure.

If the first part of that happens and Ashley/Bruce are here next season, we will go down. That’s if we don’t go down this season.

I disagree. We are 6 pts above 18th with a game in hand now with Ashley and Bruce and ASM and Wilson out half the season. If them 2 are fit most of next season we would be comfortable around 13th

13th? With Bruce?

And his injury record? with his tactics?

I think not.

It depends on what's around us, really. I've wittered for much of the season about how we've got too much quality in the side to go down (which I think has ultimately been proven), but we've been helped massively by an absolutely appalling bottom three. Had it been more competitive down this end of the table, we wouldn't have had the luxury of constantly losing whilst just waiting for Wilson/ASM to come back, and everything being okay again. 

Assuming next season's context is very similar to this one (i.e. there's at least three appalling teams, the likes of Burnley and Palace don't suddenly improve, our own squad doesn't change much), I fail to see why we won't be 13th-17th again, regardless of Bruce. If we have better luck with injuries we could even push higher mid-table. 

Think how minging we've been this season, think what an abysmal performance Bruce has delivered, we're still way ahead of the relegation zone. Getting relegated is really difficult when your competitors are historically bad and you've got a lot of quality/generally a decent attitude in your own squad. We'll be fine. Yeyyyy.

Yeah - people seem to be much more confident were staying up but i still think were in the shit.

Weve got a bit of breathing space where any competent manager would use to carefully manage the return of injured players and to work on tactics but.......

 

Bruce.

@Yorkie I wish I shared your confidence. We’ll likely pick up no points in the next five games. If Fulham pick up 3 in that time we’ll playing with right squeaky arses vs Sheff Utd. 

An injury hit West Ham and a Arsenal side concentrating on Europe should see us pick up something.

Anyone have a reasoned idea as to why he's sold off the club store (out side of TaKeOvEr)?

the new kit supplier Castore wanted to take it over so they are as part of the deal. nothing to do with the fakeover

Sure we came 13th last season like. Hardly a stretch to imagine us doing the same next season with a fit Wilson

I think you're forgetting that our defenders regress every week, and we're still picking Shelvey.

Whats makes you think Wilson will be 'fit' next season? Bruces injury record (at every single club hes been at) is appalling.

We all know Wilson can score goals but what makes you think a Bruce team will create enough chances for him to put away. Wilson's premier league record is 1 goal in every 3 appearances (Which is a very good record but Bruce).

If last season and this season is anything to go by, its gonna be a struggle. For Wilson and the team as a whole. Again.

Wonder with tonight’s news if he might change his stance on selling the club. All of a sudden he’s a few steps away from being one of the big clubs long term again and playing Champions League?

Not when the Champions League is worth a fraction of what it was before the ESL came along.

He won't be happy that he's missed out on this, as a result of running the club into the ground for the last 14 years. Think of all that exposure had Newcastle replaced say Spurs?

Good. the horrible cunt.
