The immediacy in which the takeover happened has skewed logic in some of our supporters thinking. We’re run at another level now and every decision will be calculated, concise, with every outcome measured for accountability. I expect we’re being operated moving forward in a model that is insight and data driven over opinion. Rather than Ashley’s inner circle of muppets.

Fuck me. They've been here a week for goodness sake. I'm sorry but any non Newcastle fans reading this thread will have every right to call us deluded. They'd look a lot more amateur if they sack Bruce and his crew and we didn't have anyone to take training next week They obviously didn't expect the takeover to go through this quick after the CAT case. We'll be ok but they have to get a DOF in to make the decisions.

I think a bigger problem would be if we win as far as retaining Bruce goes. Personally I don't think we'll see much protests against Bruce anyway, people will still be in a party mood about the takeover. I would have preferred Bruce to have been dismissed straight away, but I don't pretend to know the intricacies of dealing with these issues. He's still going to get sacked pretty soon and that's good enough for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fat cunt isn't going anywhere until he's been paid off, so why would we need to beg him to stay? He's just not been sacked yet, he knows it's coming, if he's hanging around it's of his own choice. PIF are just leaving him there looking like an unwanted pet pig while they sort out an upgrade.

Rafalove Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I also think people/ neautrals should come away from the ground thinking “ what a brilliant atmosphere imagine what it will be like if this lot finally win something”, rather than “fuck me, this lot won the lottery and they’re still not happy? Spoiled already these cunts”. imagine being a player too seeing the scenes when the news broke, buzzing for the game, and then the fans are more interested in harassing the manager than supporting the team.

Different post season as you aren't under pressure to get someone in so can do a more extensive search Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I think if it was down to the minority owners he'd already be gone. Clearly everything needs to be signed off by PIF. Which makes sense - but you would hope the decision process can become more elastic with greater delegation going forward as this could cause issues.

jdckelly Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 regardless of whether sacking Bruce is the right decision to brief to the media basically: "lol he sacked before Spurs" without having everything ready to go was a stupid idea rather than some non committal line like going to make a full assessment of the club etc etc then sack him when your ready Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 As much as I want him gone before Sunday, it all makes sense, really. Not only do they need to find a manager, but a DOF. They need to make sure whoever they pick for each can work together seamlessly. As others have pointed out, sack Steve and the Steves and who's left? I still think it'd be more beneficial to do it and call up some youth coaches for a few weeks or something. But I get entirely why a fresh pair of eyes on the situation are taking a pragmatic stance of not culling an already bare-bones staff and risking utter chaos while they put together the team. There's only so much they could put in place in advance, isn't there? 'Hey <insert coveted manager's name here>, we're hoping to buy a football club soon but don't know when. Just in case, could you keep your diary free pls ty'. If that was the case Rafa would've been walking through the door with them. You can sound people out but only so much when you can't offer a single contract or promise until the takeover completes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 During the furious 'he'll be gone in 48 hours' backtrack, various sources have said the reason is that PIF need to green light his binning. As if the 80% majority stake holder having the final say and being involved in all major restructuring has come totally out of the blue on Thursday. It's total bollocks man.

I've asked in this thread previously without any source or reference being given. I see many others using this argument too but where do the notion that all first team coaching staff will leave if they sack Bruce come from? If Bruce had another job lined up I could see the risk that he might bring them with him, but there's no incentive for them to leave now if he got sacked. Maybe if they were honorable and loyal Bruce fans and decided to leave in solidarity (which I strongly doubt as they would most likely miss out on compensation). There's no indication that they are a package deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
