Without the fans in grounds there is no real pressure on that idiot Bruce. He’s be gone by now if we were allowed fans in. the cabbage headed clown is lucky.
he listens to his sponsors who won’t want their brands being showcased alongside the sound of a load of abusive geordies.
Hes making his own history and that **** sticks. He’s going to take us down. He’s going to lose Ashley millions and between the two I’m not that sure which side of the fence I’m on. I don’t want relegation: but i really want Ashley to lose 300m. You could say it’s win win if we go down. Or win win if we stay up. The old saying. Things can’t get much worse is perfect for us right now!
Nothing to do with Covid, the writing was on the wall in November - we are sleep walking again towards relegation. Pressure against McClaren and others hasn't worked previously. Purely down to Bruce's management of the squad and Ashley & Charlney's management of the club.
We go down this time we aren't coming back up. This side is a lot worse than the two previous relegation squads.
Which says a lot doesn’t it. It’s just chronic management. Well I keep saying it but somewhere along the line in the next 3 months the **** will hit the fan.
We are literally at the most pivotal time in our history, all relying on a sale that may or may not even exist. The only possible positive from Bruce still being employed today is that Ashley is gambling on a quick enough sale for it to no longer to be his problem.
Not sure - Ashley has shown he'll spend to get out the championship and if we kept 15 or so and replaced another 8-10 and bought through a few youth players I'd be confident of coming back up. Most of this squad was the squad that got us promoted last time... also don't think he'd let Lewis or Fraser go or Wilson unless he got his money back. Obviously players may have relegation release clauses. Realistic(ish) starting XI for Championship from current squad: Darlow Krafth Lascelles Clark Lewis Hayden Matty or Sean Longstaff Murphy Anderson Fraser Gayle - if Wilson was let go but Ashley might force him to stay (I would). Bench: Woodman Dummett Yedlin Hendrick Other Longstaff Ritchie Joelinton Players we wouldn't be able to keep would be ASM, Miggy, Fede, Schar, Dubravka. Not sure we'd manage to keep Manquillo, Shelvey either. Also the benefit would be Bruce Out - someone like Hughton, Barton, Howe, Kevin Nolan in maybe
