Newcastle United takeover?

[Inter Me Nan]

Great stuff, hope the roidhead is suicidal.

 

[denislawsbackheel]

Just to complete the circle I hope Sheff We’d pass them on the way up as they go down.

 

[Nebuchadnezzar]

From takeover rumours, to this.

The equivalent of thinking the lottery is won, only to find you're looking at last week's ticket. You go to throw the ticket in the bin and then find a circle of men pissing on your wife in the kitchen.

 

[bobmcfc]

Take it they are Fuming ?

I’d be Fuming if I were them

 

[Stoned Rose]

Guaranteed relegation that appointment.

From takeover talk to that useless ****.

Dark that.

 

[Mayor West]

What can Newcastle do to get him out though? If Ashley is being a stubborn twat and asking for too much money, only thing they can possibly do is stop going and stop buying merchandise. But even then the tv money has warped what is needed to run a premier league club. I do feel for newcastle fans, they must feel helpless.

I think Ashley's chance for his best price has gone.

He should have sold last summer after Rafa kept them up, but the fat bastard is such a greedy twat.

If Newcastle are relegated, there’s no way he will get what he wants.

He'll just keep them and roll the promotion dice. That's what he's done every time in the past

Maybe if they fall into the third tier the fat git will sling his hook.

One can only hope.

This stat made me laugh:

Among the 33 managers to have managed 200 or more Premier League games, bruce's win percentage of 28.1% (110 games in 392 games) is the second-lowest, ahead only of his former rag team-mate bryan robson (26.8%).

Playing devil's advocate here, but that’s partly due to the fact that Bruce is usually in charge of promoted clubs, and their win percentage is obviously lower.

Even less chance of him selling up
No matter what your thoughts on Fatty. He is a shrewd businessman and will hold out until what he believes is the right offer is made

 

[East Level 2]

Couple of Barcodes where I work are truly underwhelmed with the appointment of Bruce. One thinks they'll go down.

Wouldnt be hard to find another 50k+ fans who feel the same.

Completely bizarre appointment but he will probably be on the lowest wages in the league and Ashley has already cashed in on some of their best players so he isn't interested now.

 

[Alex - Not City Matters]

Joelinton will be a good signing for them.

Fair enough, there is some truth in what you say. It does raise the question though of why a more established Premier League club never gave him an opportunity. A wider issue to me, though, is who was the real beneficiary of the statistically worst two established premier league managers continually buying rag cast offs?

You make a very good point about why Bruce hasn’t been offered jobs higher up the chain; I’d never thought about it.

And I forgot to mention in my earlier reply that captain cripple was a simply atrocious manager.

He made Pearce look like Pulis.

 

[Bluemoon dan]

Managed to get a bet on Newcastle to be relegated within a minute or so of them releasing the statement. Got 4/1. Odds already dropped to 3/1 in the last hour or so!

Just checked on my bet here and I could actually cash out with a profit right now! Says what the bookies think of Bruce anyway.

 

[BlueRockape]

Looks as if Bruce may not be their manager
