If I was a barcode I'd be asking myself some serious questions now. This is a piss-take too far. But you can bet the large majority will accommodate themselves to it (such is the nature of the average fan). I'd be suicidal.

Hilariously bad appointment. Looks like singing "where were you when you were shit" at us will be the highlight of their season again.

Bruce is a great appointment if your aim is to be mediocre at best. Massive downgrade from Rafa Benitez. Like us replacing Pep with Sean Dyche.

4th from bottom is all ashley wants keep his cash cow going.

Squad was already hampionship standard, massive downgrade in manager, sold and lost their best 2 players in Rondon and Perez and Ashley will probably replace them both with a tenner and expect change. They have to be close to Huddersfield last season in certainties to go down. Bruce won’t make it to Christmas
