Stifler Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Confirms that he’s not involved in being the new guy in and he’s not happy about it. If it was his mate, he would be screaming about it from the rooftop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candi_Hills Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I'm sure Ashley wants relegation as a big F you to the fans and the city, it is the only explanation I can think of in him getting the worst striker and manager combo he possibly could with Joelinton and Bruce. Mike wouldn’t know how to sabotage us even if you wanted to. To quote Alan Pardew, “ Mike doesn’t understand football. Sometimes it confuses him.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
khay Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I did not think he seemed rattled. Could easily just be trying to shoot down anything so as not to get in trouble for poaching a coach. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Feels like he said to himself to remember to say he'd seen enough to be encouraged and then said "seen enough" and "encouraged" at least 30 times each? Bruce the Encouraged. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wandy Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 If they go for Howe you can forget about any takeover. In fact if they go for anyone that isnt just here till the end of the season then there is no takeover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 This buffoon keeps going on about how the players don't have enough, effectivelly saying they're not good enough to play football. Constantly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Not convinced Howe would get this team firing and avoid relegation considering the way things went for him last year but we're in abit of an anyone but Bruce situation right now. Obviously much rather the takeover and Rafa but I don't think it matters. If the takeover was real then you'd think money won't be an issue in the way it has been for us for last decade. I mean we're rumoured to be sticking with Bruce because of a measly 1 mil pay out for god's sake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Relegation could set us back years and cost hundreds of millions. Keeping Bruce because he costs money to fire can’t add up in any way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not convinced he would be a short term shot in the arm but he surely can't be any worse. It will he Hughes or pulis or much much worse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Mind just goes back to probably the best performance during the Bruce era. Last year against Bournemouth away. But it was as much them being atrocious as us being decent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I believe we have decent players who would react to a new manager and we'd get a new manager bounce that'd see us safe. Literally anyone, whether it's a PFM like Pearson or even Hughes despite his fucking cancerous patter today or someone less PFM like such as Howe. Whoever comes in after Bruce should he be sacked though will not be the answer long term, as Charnley has a hard on for failed English managers.

tinoasprilla Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 The Jones stuff is just simply they are in negotiations for him. Same as if we'd bid for a player..I dontvwant howe either although I'd prefer him or crucifixion to bruce Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candi_Hills Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Pulis might not be the worst thing in the world. He was a passionate man 15 years ago. If he could give them a kick up the arse and drag us over the line, that would be all you need from him. Hughes, on the other hand, is an empty vessel of a man. He couldn’t give a hitchhiker a lift, let alone Dusty Brucefield’s broken squad. Howe? As others have said, a long-term appointment would not bode well for the takeover. Is he the kind of bloke that inspires people short-term? We’d be better off appointing some deranged fucking nutter for that kind of thing. Sunderland did it for about eight seasons. We just need to do it for one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 As much as I can’t stand him, I honestly think Pearson could get the 5 wins or so that we need, provided we got him in now. No way would I want him long term though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way would I want him long term though. That’s pretty much my thinking too. He isn’t really a good manager but he’s got the requisite psychopath qualities to get you a short term bounce.

Away Day Gadgie Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Pulis? I’ve been genuinely appalled every time i’ve had to witness his teams live. Absolutely honking football. Only slightly better than Baconball IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 In an ideal world we'll get someone in until the end of the season due to the takeover () in the background. Dunno who the hell would take that though, think Pearson might. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
