    Aye, which is why I take with a pinch of salt.

    My experience of Saudi's through work though - they do not like to send important documents via email. They insist on in person.

    And if he keeps us up and plays like the second half of the season then I’m all for that.

    Definitely not mate, but if there's no takeover I see good reason for optomism.

    I'd really argue strongly against sacking Bruce as things stand.

    My god the line pardew used to try and get people across will be 500 miles wider.

    Deadline day? Will the letters get there in time?

    So this is the thing... We're currently the 10th best performaning side since the new set up was brought in and 7th best the last 11 games, so who do you think Ashley will employ that could do better?

    It's more likely they do worse and you'll all look daft again.

    Just wait until he's ****ed up then go after him

    Graeme Jones is the reason why we finished as we did. He and Willock.

    Well firstly Bruce chose both of them and more importantly why care because it works and it's progressing nicely.

    Only nufc fans would want things changed when the sides improving and doing well..

    Bruce didn't choose Jones. That is another thing he is trying take credit for. It was Steve Nickson following instructions from Charnley.

    Bruce interviewed him and offered him the job and both Jones and bruce have spoken to confirm that.

    What evidence have you got for that claim? Let's say you're right which I'm going to need something solid to believe does it really matter? Because whatever was done worked! The current coaching and management set up actually works mate.. And it not only works, but it's progressing.

    I'm 99.9% certain you even said yourself it wasn't a Bruce appointment.

    What? I'm asking a perfectly straight forward question.

    I also asked who think Ashley can bring in that will do better than Bruce and Jones have?

    Yes but then I heard Jones say he spoke to bruce and decided to come home followed by Bruce saying he interviewed him in London.

    I'll try again though because whether he did or didn't is actually irrelevant because I don't care whos in charge or how things get done if it works and it worked.

    I also said it would work .please see below

    Another fair point.

    Come on chaps I hate Bruce but what he’s saying is actually right.

    I wanted Bruce gone and I still do with a takeover but I’m unsure what will be better under Ashley.

    We had Rafa and he did brill for us but not top 7-10.

    Bruce had a shocking 1st half season but pulled it together 2nd half: so come on give him some credit.

    I would want better but I can’t see what better there is under Ashley.
