Guest Howaythetoon Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 If you want to impress the new Saudi bosses perhaps put a huge banner in the crowd with "After hardship, comes ease." - The Holy Qu'ran [94:6] I feel that statement signifies more than anything else everything to do with this long-awaited takeover.

toontownman Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Is keeping Bruce for 5 points really worth it??! Just get rid. It would be such an anti climax to have him lead us out for our first game under new owners. He should be consigned to the history of Ashley's era. If I was Bruce I'd be sounding them out for an early exit. Tidy sum in his pocket for leaving and also avoids the chance of still getting relegated with the last games being played. Head held high. I am sure we will hear lots of "I have no doubt I am still the man for the job", "I'm going nowhere","the be owners have full faith in me" "getting on with the job" quotes soon. It really depends when the ownership is finalized in relation to the season restarting/ending. If they take over in May and season doesnt re-start until mid to late June (likely earliest) why waste a month or two that the new manager could use? Just to be nice to Bruce? Fuck that. It could be more of a potential risk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
number9shirt Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Was 10 when we lost the title. Now I'm ready again to go on that ride. If meeting is on Tuesday, Premier League to confirm the sale tomorrow?? It's a matter of days not weeks. PL has to be notified 10 working days before a change of ownership.

Damn right. They knew from the start they wanted Rafa so sacking Bruce on day one cannot be considered knee jerk in anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Something that annoys me quite a bit, is seeing a few cunts in the media point out all of our flaws.... They need to improve this, do that, change this, fix that. When for the last 13 year we've been told we should be happy with our lot and how lucky we are to have Mike look after our finances so well. Cunts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have Aguero, De Bruyne and Pep. They will not be sitting around thinking Bruce fits in that group with whoever they decide to spunk cash on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWN Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Let’s assume this all goes through, as expected now. How can the new owners plan anything on the pitch? We have no idea when the current season ends never mind the new one. We will be itching to get the ball rolling , plus fans won’t be allowed back this year imho, so it would be a twat if the season got going behind closed doors, Rafa back leading the side and none of us there to see it, urghh. Strange times, I just can’t predict when we will be able to see all this for real. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of the reasons I was saying I wish this hadn't happened during this strange period in history when everything's in lockdown. Doesn't feel like we can celebrate it properly like we usually would, and yeah, when the new season kicks off, will there even be fans in the ground to welcome the new era?

Guest chopey Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 At least it will give them a chance to build a new infrastructure once Charnleys cupboard is cleaned out ( I bet he had a George Costanza sleeping spot under his desk) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 As unfortunate as all that is, I'll still absolutely love it. Main thing is he'll be gone, I'm sure we'll all have no issues catching up on the celebrations when the time comes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
