There's no takeover mate it was just one of Ashley's little jokes. He's an absolute cunt man Edited July 15, 2019 by trooper Link to post Share on other sites

Noelie 103 Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 If Bruce has up and quit Sheffield as the papers say, I think his quitting has something devious about it. Perhaps a scheming Ashley way of circumventing the pay-off in some shady shenanigan plot to avoid paying top dollar. Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Gloom 3,068 Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 I don’t doubt Ashley is stupid enough to pay top dollar to SW for the privilege of releasing the mighty Bruce from his contract. The disgusting fat parasite Link to post Share on other sites

Ayatollah Hermione 3,823 Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 It’s obvious that he’s pally with Bruce from his time at the Mackems. Having said that, if one of my good mates was a shit football manager, I’d still probably admit he’s a step down from Rafa 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Ayatollah Hermione 3,823 Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 Just now, Ant said: he's putting himself in the firing line though, i'd avoid making as many comments as he has , just opens himself up to ridicule coming out with the patter he has Well, for one, he’s an idiot so none of that passes through his shiny dome. And he’s fell into the typical journo hole of believing that they’re always right and that he’ll be vindicated in the end. Truth be told, I can’t wait to see the meltdown when Bruce engineers a relegation. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Howay 2,331 Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 It’s also worth noting that Bruce will have no say in transfers, so even if he spotted those two it’s no good to NUFC. How’s his record on the coaching side of thing Edwards? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Howay 2,331 Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) They’ve no reason to accept less than the full amount. £2m isn’t going to mean a lot to them so it’s just principle at this point. The fucking fact this has been dragging out for weeks now over a £4m - £5m difference for a PL club in 2019 sums Ashley up What a monumental cunt. He surely knows this is just making relegation even more certain. Edited July 17, 2019 by Howay Link to post Share on other sites
OTF 506 Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Ashley 'saving' some more cash by not having to pay coaching staff for down time during the off-season. I honestly don't understand why they would be pursuing Bruce at all, stunning lack of logic on that. Apart from being cut price in terms of wage, the only thing I can think of is that he's a Geordie and Ashley and Charnley believe the vapid media who insist that Newcastle supporters want a local manager. Let's disregard completely the fact that the most popular manager in recent times, despite the most turbulent atmosphere in recent times, was a Spaniard. Surely there would be other more modern managers who they could get on similar wages who have lesser compensation kr are currently unattached. It's not as though they haven't had a lengthy amount of time to get things sorted. Pure incompetence. Link to post Share on other sites
RobinRobin 456 Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 It was a similar situation with Schteeeve - just wanted an old school English manager who would do anything for the job. What on earth was Penfold doing flying off to Europe to look for a manager, when they were only going to look at English dinosaurs? Link to post Share on other sites
ewerk 6,495 Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 The club has been pretty sure since MAY that they’d need a new manager and we’re still in the situation in the middle of July where we’ve no one in charge and are haggling over a couple of million. And yet Lee Charnley will still keep his job. Link to post Share on other sites
