HaydnNUFC Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 "The team is fully capable of delivering". Delivering what, a 12th place finish? Dat ambition. Almost reads like a message to Bruce, passive aggressive to their own manager via a club statement. What a club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Linton Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Are we really expected to believe we paid the full £40m for joelinton up front and in one go as well? Where did that much cash come from? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nbthree3 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Ashley was even prepared to spend £20m of his own money to secure Joelinton, "it wasn't even between Joelinton or Rondon" - my question is why was he so insistent? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Linton Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) Edwards has written a few tweets about it now, but has said nothing to contradict the claims that Bruce knew and was comfortable with the "strategy" from the outset.

thomas Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Was all that just to get ahead of Bruce complaining publicly about it? God you know you're shit (and guilty) when you preemptively drop an essay of an apology before the inquisition has truly begun in earnest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hhtoon Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 "Having finished last season in 12th place in the Premier League, and in the top six of the form table over the final nine fixtures, the club at all levels maintains a strong belief in its current squad. We have a talented and committed group of players who have shown that they are fully capable of delivering" No mention or praise of Bruce here, in fact they seem to pointedly avoid referring to him directly. Hopefully all is not happy in paradise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) He’s been backed as much as any manager under Ashley since Allardyce when he first came in terms of being able to sign who he wants (Joelinton aside). If he hadn’t been so shite in ruining some players he might have been able to wheel & deal. I bet Ashley is foaming that in 3 summers his only saleable asset was Perez and that was down to the last guy. I really don’t see why he stands by Bruce.
