Fella, when you own and run a club with ONE executive - Lee Charnley - what is realistically going to happen? Ashley does it with SD as well, handful of mates in charge of the whole thing. Everything linked to the club is a rancid disaster, it's riddled with cancer throughout, with the owner being both 100% to blame and 100% uninterested. He couldn't give a toss what the football's like, else he'd go to games or hire a competent manager. He couldn't give a toss about an FA Cup. He doesn't give a toss about ambition or success, hence the training ground, youth and scouting fails. He allowed the purchase of Joelinton because he thought it was a good bet (he likes a bet). He wanted an £80m player, which he'd have gleefully sold. Sadly, he's the one who's been sold a turkey. Mike's a ****ing idiot. He may be rich, but make no mistake he's a thick **** and a proper malicious one at that. Nothing changes til he goes and it's just a matter of time before more and more of us give up. I can't take much more.
Bruce is the management version of our owner. Thick, ignorant, never at fault, never to blame. Clueless, brainless git.
Rafa Benitez had a transfer budget, and signed worse players than Schteve McClaren. We are stuck with them all until they retire.
i would have settled for not selling our best players and signing ****e but apparently its our culture now
Got to say, I'm even a little surprised at how bad Bruce has been. I knew he was crap, but then you see these consistent muscle injuries and formation weirdness at every club and realise we were destined for this. He'll take us down.
Who did we sell ? Mitro who has no brain... a liability. The fact is we finished 10th and 13th All the fools couldnt wait to churp up.after a fast start, but rafa is the king of rotation mate and thats the difference not to mention the fact we were effective in attack and defence...
Rafa comparisons are pointless. All I know is I didn't like the football then, i hate it even more now. I'm sick to death of the football club.
king of rotation because every single out field player we signed in his tenure isn't good enough to play against Rochdale a league one side. we were **** under rafa, we are **** now, we will be **** until we sign football players and not whatever we have now. McClaren signed all our best players.
We finished 10th that is not **** with no money net .. its very very good 13th ... we were the 7th best side in the country for the entire second half of the season... We scored some excellent goals too... very effective countering style... brilliant defence ... The reason we finished strong every season is due to his excellent rotation.
no i just dillied and dallied and left it too late, smart move it seemed , ****ing shocking in the second half
on the game today, a much stronger side than i thought, looked too easy in that first half and as for that second half we created nothing, Joe lips looked disinterested but booing him was cringey imho. this team is in freefall, Bruce hasnt a clue what to do and we look destined to drop. i went to the Leicester game for the first time this season, no idea why, i wont be returning, not for free.
As long as we've Ashley, we'll have days like this. We've a reasonable chance of going down. Where's the next win coming from? We're depending on getting lucky wins, where we get dominated for 90 minutes, but our goalkeeper keeps ball from going in the net.
Pathetic today. Very slow moving forward and far too many passes going sideways or backwards. Yedlin skinning the full back but absolutely no end product. Sean Longstaff looks a shadow of last year, he'll be off. Rochdale's 40 year old CF should give Joelinton lessons on how to score. I wouldn't give you 40p for him never mind £40m. Who scouted him, needs to be sacked.
ha yes. Brucie's secret plan to give the reserves another run out and Almiron to add to his goals tally . Still in the draw though.
But you got to see the 70 million pound pairing of the Longstaffs before they go to Manchester right? Still rewriting history about the God that was Rafa I see
