jackyboy Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I think Redfearn and Dawson would be as good, if not better than Bruce. If the team do reasonably in this Asia thing they'll get the job Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate End Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Daily mirror but he gets a bonus for every position above 17th we finish. Mike Ashley F.C Imagine Rafa Benitez having to listen to that unambitious garbage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stal Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Being a former s*nderland manager should rule him out. Him being of such a drop in caliber should rule him out. Him turning us down as a player so he could join manu should rule him out. He was one of the few players at Ferguson Utd that I didn't mind too much but do I want him anywhere near my club? Do I hell as like. Got a feeling he might tell charnley to do one, unlike that wretched prick mcclaren who'd happily suck off Carr for the job.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 You've got to love a Mike Ashley incentivised contract. The incentives are always almost impossible to achieve. Win a cup and I'll give you a £10m bonus (did I mention I've sold all the goal scorers?). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimpy474 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I think it's become clear Ashley thinks any old manager can do what Rafa did, despite that being obvious to anyone with a brain that's nonsense. Leaving our club with no real senior management above the football team in just Charnley, because he doesn't want any dissenting voices you get this utter mess. Same goes with players in this idiots brain, well we pay them a fortune don't we ? I mean Colback gets £30,000 a week and that's a lot. He's going to find out just how good Rafa was very soon. You know what though ? I don't think he'll even care, in his idiotic brain he'll think he's right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Yeah we know Ashley doesn't care. We could go down to league 2 and he isn't out of pocket. He loves the gamble of seeing how little he can spend and how far he can push the envelope without us getting relegated. If we do, ho hey, we now have a championship squad and manager that can likely keep us there for the next few years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robster Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Daily mirror but he gets a bonus for every position above 17th we finish. Mike Ashley F.C I'm actually surprised.

Facundo Ferreyra Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Doesnt bode well for the transfer window if we cant cough up a small few mill for the manager does it. Where's the TV and Perez money gone lads? :lol: "Give what back?" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Having difficulty getting Steve Bruce. Rejected by Fat Sam and Stevie G. Literally scrapping the barrel for a manager here and we can't get anyone. That's how far we've fallen. Name me one other Premier League club that wouldn't have managers lining up looking to take over ffs? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I haven't even been paying attention to what's happening and I don't even feel anything about the newest farce.

Guest Gonzo Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Its one thing having twats like Pardew managing the team. Nobody really takes any notice. We just exist and are easily forgettable. But when someone like Rafa is there, people take note and when he starts to talk about the shit that kept happening (lack of communication, zero ambition, lies, false promises etc) Everyone knows now, especially the ones who didn’t before exactly what it’s like working for Mike Ashley. His version of NUFC is the drunk geezer in the club at the end of the night. Already made a show of himself in front of every half decent looking bird and is now making advances at the fat munters but being rejected by them too.
