Maybe we're all just bent out of shape waiting so long for the actual takeover that we've got none left for anything else, however this is terrible and if they cannot see it then the whole thing is going to end up badly. I'm not really sure how it's been a total shit show. They've waited a week too long to get of Bruce, but what else has happened? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk of slow mgt structure with no doa. Other prem clubs trying to stop sponsorship Players fighting Lack of training days All of the internal stuff fucks off if you sack him day 1. It's the easiest decision they will ever have to make and yet he's still here. It was a gift wrapped open goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LV Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Not sacking Bruce aside they’ve done nothing else wrong. Its gonna take a bit of time to get the right building blocks in place but it’ll come. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I'm sure it'll all come good in the end but we're still 7/4 to be relegated (compared to Brentford at 10/1) and until that swings in our favour then I'm going to be nervous and react in kind.

We have absolutely no idea where the consortium are in the recruitment process for manager or DoF/sporting director. There isn't a lot the consortium can do about the actions of the other Premier League clubs either. A lot of the other problems you listed come back to the management, not the ownership, but I agree they could be resolved by binning Bruce, which they need to do.

Armchair Pundit Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 So, I'm right in thinking this only affects monies brought in that are applicable to FFP spend on players? Essentially, we have to find some way of getting money into the club, solely to balance out spend on players. We can spend what we like on everything outside of the playing staff, so the improvements to the ground, training facilities and wages of a new manager aren't included?

The fact they had a meeting without NUFC in attendance is a blatant example of this. Premier League as we all know is corrupt, but they and their members are still subject to UK law.

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Would have been wonderful to see such vested interest in our sponsorship opportunities any time in the last 14 years where we got fuck all from Sports Direct, making us inherently uncompetitive.

Dr Jinx Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 There’s no way any of that sticks. It’s anti competitive and wouldn’t get through court. Like mentioned before, if they were really worried about it they wouldn’t have sent Charnley. The other clubs seem to be trying to act quickly before our new owners have a grasp of what’s going on. We need a beast of a CEO in quickly, someone who knows this lot and will put manners on them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And right now we can spend £190m on players coz Ashley was so tight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 We've seen how good the PL are at kicking cans down the road when they don't want something. The other clubs know they can stall us for years and increase the gap to us further while we have legally clear our right to compete again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE27 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Just now, geordie_b said: Difference is we can afford to buy ourselves out of them Long term definitely. I was just meaning in relation to how slow the consortium are moving re appointments. Club has little to no staff, nobody of any note in any position. And we are taking a dicking from all corners so I'm not surprised they are stuttering a little bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Anyway - its for a month, so our owners need to get deals announced 19th of November in the small window that opens up before they get something more permanent in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they had no choice but to send Charnley as the Companies House standings have not been updated yet, so legally I think he is probably still the only legal Director until it is updated.
