Fuck him, one game won’t make a difference anyway. Ok I’ve got to pull you up on this, hoping the team gets beat so that it might in some way contribute to Mike Ashley leaving (or firing a manager) is one thing. But this is different. It’s a show of respect, he’s a dead duck and everyone knows it. So why would you actively want the team to lose? We got what we wanted in Ashley leaving, it’s now time to drop this nonsense, it’s hysterical and unwarranted. Can you not just enjoy the first match in the post Mike Ashley era? Or has your thinking become totally skewed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHoob Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Meh, bit surprised and not ideal but not too arsed, won't expend any energy on him on Sunday, hope everyone can just crack on and enjoy the day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidAK Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Wish he was going sooner but honestly the difference it makes having owners who communicate and keep us updated. Fine with it really because at least Amanda has let us know what the thinking is, even if I don’t wholly agree with it.

Sima Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 So when do I get to stop wanting us to lose then? Only difference is now I get to pay money for the privelege of wanting it to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The statement to me sounds like "don't worry it will happen, just not yet WAIT" Just hope a fuss isn't made by the club of his '1000th' game! His presser will be unbearable won't it? "Well ya kna. Obviously new owners are here, and they might want a change, but i've dusted myself down, rolled my sleeves up and am ready to show them i can do it my way. Ill get some extra bacon ordered for them, and they'll see my experience is invaluable" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Anyone else get Amanda's sly dig about how you cant change things overnight?

Always thought rolling meant that there was always the length of the contract remaining. Sir Bobby had a 1 year rolling one for his entire time here Suppose it depends on the details Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I personally don't think its the correct call, but given I don't know the reasons behind it, its difficult to be too upset.

toon25 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 As long as the opportunity is given to let this fat cunt know what some of us think of him and the way he's treated the fans. Going out with a 1-0 loss, a meek surrender, and an earful of abuse suits me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE27 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Aye that statement is class in terms of clarity and openness, alien to nufc fans. But if I was Bruce nit a glimpse of backing there and pretty much intimating he's pumped the second we have our feet under the table. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUHRLYASLEEVESUP Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 More than Likely Amanda is going to be surprised at the depth of feeling towards the fat slug on Sunday Dead man waddling no doubt but imo he should be roasting in the Portuguese sun not within a kebab throw of the church on the hill fat cunt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a grip. The fella has been here 2 years and presided over an absolute shitshow of mediocrity and telling us to know our place while being happy to take gold from that parasite of an owner who has drained the very lifeblood out of the club he professes to love. It’s no wonder the vast majority of us wanted him. People can absolutely hold that position AND be supportive of the new owners and excited about the times ahead. Telling people to get a grip for wanting him gone straight away is pretty damn disrespectful given what we’ve endured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s assume for simplicity that the end of contract and notice requirement date is 30th June. Bruce’s contract is until 30th June 2024 If neither party serves notice by 30th June 2022, then his contract is extended until 30th June 2025 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Strange decision. Ideally the people running things tend to have a manager lined up to take over from whoever they sack, but when they don't and the results are bad they still tend to sack them and let someone else take temporary charge to negate the negative affect they're having around the place, bring in some positivity, and to buy themselves some time to find someone else. Keeping Bruce hanging around the place when his results are crap and he and everyone knows he's done for, while they look for someone else seems canny weird to me like, even in a non-footballing sense.
