Hold on are you suggesting it would be outlandish for some Paraguayan no-mark to have heard of Steve Bruce A Manchester United legend and veteran manager? Ffs take your blinkers off. It would be much fairer if Bruce had never heard of him
Almiron would've signed for any manager in the PL on those wages. His agent will have been well aware that Newcastle are a club in turmoil and that Benitez's contract was winding down, with little chance of a new one. Does anyone really believe he came just for Rafa to play dreary defensive football in the bottom half of the table. Most of the Mags didn't have a clue who he was although their resident experts stated that there would be no deal .... https://www.not606.com/threads/miguel-almiron-deal-done.369549/
As long as it's Bruce in I don't mind. The horse dentists of the toon need the work. These are difficult times...
Keegan is doing the rounds now attacking Ashley and sucking up to the Mags who'll no doubt take it all in. Apparently Newcastle is like no other club in the world and Ashley is just a rich man buying the club as a toy, like a car or a yacht ... ... this despite the Sheikh looking to do precisely the same thing. And, of course, he's insisting Ashley gets out of Toons, despite no one appearing to be serious about buying it Genius Kev, how does he do that? Perhaps he should knock the price down. Sadly he's more interested in getting his money, a bit like you when you sued the club. Instead of advising a man who saved the club from financial ruin why not stick to what you do best, whatever that is ....
You'd have thought that someone like Kev, with his status in football, could have sorted something himself. Bit like Big Niall and us. He won't have the cash to do it himself, but I'd bet he could attract a consortium of wealthy backers if he put his mind to it. After all, it is a completely unique club with unlimited potential and blah blah blah...
Keegan is just a Mick Quinn without the horse abuse. Despite playing 3 times as many games for Liverpool than Newcastle he's always there as 'rent a gob' to pour out some gravy on the Mag's pasties. Isn't if funny that he's never asked to comment on Liverpool and they don't appear to want him anywhere near the club.
Cabanas could have been his best signing ever, but that was Brucie, unlucky or incompetent, the verdict is still out.
Here's what Newcastle supporters were saying about their Messiah ... ... that's Benitez not Bruce BTW "I said in the summer that this thing he does where he tries to play some political game with owners is stupid. It only ever does harm." https://www.not606.com/threads/fa-cup-3rd-round-toon-v-blackburn-rovers.370576/
So, once again you've come onto the Sunderland board to totally ignore the thread topic and obsess about 'Smug' ... ... and you're calling me immature. Seriously, take your hypocrisy and go back to your own kind.
Have any Sunderland supporters been involved in organised protests ... ... did I miss Donald being stalked to a restaurant, funeral marches through the streets or people shouting at his insurance office?
