Guest reefatoon Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Charners couldn’t oversee a takeaway delivery, let alone a multimillion pound takeover. Strangely enough, this will probably be his next job/career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Hope the season ends soon. I would give up a FA Cup QFinals bashing at the hands of Man City for the season to end now and Bruce to be gone under new owners. I forgot we were still in it.

Guest reefatoon Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 That's the thing with Bruce being around. Everyone including himself will just be waiting for the day he gets the bullet. Just going through the motions until he is binned off and it can start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Complaining about retaining our manager for nine games, in the middle of a global pandemic, when we're about to be taken over by a sovereign wealth fund. And yet, still, there's comments about 'our moronic fans'. yeah i made them, because he's fucking shite and swathes of our fans think he's in some way not unfit to lace rafa's loafers, they're fucking morons i think it'll all be moot anyways, season cancelled and he'll be chucked right in the bin where he deserves to be Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In light of the above taking time to take stock and evaluate everything while Bruce sees out the rest of the season to no great alarm makes sense.

Darth Crooks Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Seeing as the players are so brainwashed into Rafas methods I doubt there’ll be a problem in his return ‘Give wa a chance these lads a shite cuz Rafa’ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaus Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Just limp through to the end of the season and wipe the slate clean with a new manager and owners, for whenever pre season starts. I don't see the benefit of changing the manager straight away, when we can't buy any new players and we can't even do any training right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjmc Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 its hard as any new coach/manager cannot meet the players as such as the minute, cannot train with them, coach them etc in a conventional sense so in a weird way sticking with someone who has spent time with the players makes sense. I still want him gone now though, if in this down time they know who they want and he is available then get him on board now hopefully they will put a mini preseason before the restart of the season for a new manager/coach to do some full sessions with the squad.

Montey Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 My suspicion (pure guess work) is that they will keep Bruce until the end of the season but they may immediately appoint a Director of Football. The DoF would be someone already approved by whomever they are planning to hire as the new manager and the DoF can spend the remainder of the season laying the groundwork for the new manager.

Minhosa Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 https://twitter.com/NUFC360/status/1252494535579570181?s=20 Chronicle on the ball as ever. I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if this completes and then two weeks later Ryder tweets about 'nearing the end of the Ashley era according to our sources'. Also, whenever I've listened to him Douglas regularly gives it the big'un about Ryder being on the ball and having great sources and yet this has had breaking news journos from the Wall Street Journal, Telegraph and Eurosport. Not exactly local competitors. The NCJ rags are now basically news recepticles/recyclers for clicks. Nothing original, barely any informed opinion and they contributed fuck all in ridding us of Ashley. I hope they go under and Ryder can get on with what he should be doing.
