    No point. You don’t listen. I’ve set my position out numerous times on different threads and you just ignore it. You just keep reverting to personal insults by claiming I’m dishonest. If you want to know my position then re-read the threads.

    Excuse me but its actually you that's been insulting me on here because you don't like my opinion.

    You're suggesting despite the basic mathematics I've provided to back up my claim that I'm not serious when I'm making it..

    I have simply taken exception to that tried to get you to just confront the reality of my claim, but you refused to acknowledge it.

    The fact is that nufc has progressed and there's evidence that it was continuing to progress.

    I'm more than happy to address your points, but I'm not going to until you address mine fairly.

    I can't convey to you how much I appreciate that.

    Thankyou.

    I don't even like Bruce I just say what I see happening on the pitch and it's been abundantly clear things are getting better and that'll do.

    I’ve seen both sides and I’ve even had some “heated debates with you” but everyone can set the narrative based on what they want the outcome to be. Ahem takeover situation.

    Your quite right. Last 19 games they have done well. Your also absolutely right that if Bruce had been sacked and a replacement had come in and done what they did we all would have been saying it was the right call. Whether it was a tactical master stroke from Ashley, Charnley or Bruce it doesn’t matter. The fact is they did well and kept us up.

    At the same point prior to that Bruce was doing a terrible job. You have also stated that he realised and reacted and thus brought in Jones. I don’t know if it was him but I will give the benefit of the doubt and say it was his decision or he was at least involved in it. So again credit where it is due.

    Fact remains though is that outside of the half season facts and when you compare a season on season we are no further forward and no further backwards. You could also say that’s an achievement in itself when you consider the vast sums of money and resources the other clubs have. So again. Well done Steve bruce.

    You have also said you don’t like him. Fair play.

    Its balanced. It’s ok to say the things you have.

    It’s also ok for others to not agree depending on what they personally see as expectations.

    This is my balanced view on your comments. I hope this helps.

    I've had enough of this anyway... I like the banter, but I don't like it if I think it's getting silly.

    @the #Cans Master

    I apologise for pressing fwd to hard.

    Lifes too short.. We don't agree move on... You've had my back on here in the passed mate, so I have nothing but respect for you deep down.

    Yes It's always the same faces isn't it.

    I'm not sure I'm still hopeful, but really don't see how this blind faith comes from.

    It's impossible to rule it out and you can't say with any degree of certainty that it will happen.

    We'll know in a month or two I've just prepared myself for the worst and I see that as being wise.

    He kept us up, God knows how though but it certainly wasn't by his managerial talent that's for sure.

    Begrudged thanks Steve..

    Now you can **** off with our best wishes.

    <cheers>

    Unfortunately if the takeover fails you'll be seeing another season of Bruce.

    I see that rumour about the Saudi's delivering documents in person is still doing the rounds.

    My experience of Saudi's, particularly in respect of Finsncial Guarantees - they like to have paper evidence and provide documentation in person.

    It’s possibly correct given that it gives 100% credibility and cannot be manipulated or adjusted via interception.

    It’s also why they want face to face meetings. Sometimes it’s not about what people say. But how they say it.

    You're so desperate for it to fail and for us to continue to "progress" under Bruce
