Not doubting Mandoon or his brother but 'told to look for another job' is peculiar parlance in the football manager game. 

 

This.

 

Why would he look for another job? There's 0 chance of that happening. If he gets another job, he gets no payout.

 

Bruce won't leave until he's sacked or his contact isn't renewed.

We'd have heard from Edwards by now if there was anything in it.

Spoke to the sister-in-law this morning. About Charnley telling Bruce to get a new job: She would neither confirm nor deny that story, but she was acting very cagey when answering questions about it. Probably better under interrogation than her husband. IMO... possibly true.

 

What she was willing to say is that Ashley is absolutely convinced the Saudis will be our new owners soon (she mentioned that Bruce told the family four weeks) and Ashley has put that in Bruce's ear. Bruce knows his days are numbered when they take over and he doesn't seem particularly bothered by that. He knows a pay-off is coming and at the moment seems more interested in knocking down and rebuilding his house in Manchester (true story).

 

So make of that what you will.

Look for another job, as in "Get your agent to find you a new club because when the new owners come in the first thing they will do is sack you and get Rafa in".

True.  I’ve seen the plans:

That's giving me heart burn just looking at it.

Let's hope she's right.

 

Although as much as he's detested, I can't understand why Edwards is continually saying the takeover won't go through if the above is true.

 

He's close enough to Bruce by all accounts to have been given the nod by him if Bruce has information on the takeover and yet is continually shouting down the chances of it happening.

Hate clicks = Ad revenue. 

 

Edwards is an absolute gigacunt, but it appears he isn't daft.
