    As I said the other day on the article of the player who wants out. It’s him. ASM will also want out and I can’t see any reason why Dubs and Wilson who still has a lot to offer will want away aswell.

    The takeover which could have given us everything might in fact destroy the club.

    Relegation for me kills the takeover. It means Ashley stays. It means the average players we have go and it means the end of our an era of premiership football.

    It’s over!

    The takeover gave Ashley the reason to totally neglect the club. He downed tools. Then the premier league blocked it. And he didn’t move. He literally stripped the club. Furloughed everyone. Invested nothing. Because he wiped his hands clean.

    Basically the takeover initiated this downfall of neglect!

    He's done that for 14 years though.

    The takeover is our only hope

    He did it on an epic level this time. No effort nothing. Just left Bruce to Womble along.

    He thought he had won the lottery. And it was pulled from under his feet.

    I honestly couldn’t say it happened to a most horrible person. He deserves what’s coming.

    We however as fans do not.

    You see I don't agree with that because he spent 35 million which is above average for Ashley over he 28 windows he's had.

    I think he thought he'd done enough tu see us safe. It really only became a serious problem when Fulham won 3 games in a week... It all happened so fast.

    I feel the fans have struggled to accept that checkout time was passed by the time it for serious.

    The list of replacements was dross after that time and the price will be high.

    He's had to go with his decision.

    He’s made the same mistake 3 times. Mate we are in the position of being relegated again.

    He’s always making mistakes. The biggest of all was Bruce.

    I actually am tired of all this crap. There is no defence. He’s ****ed up and this time he’s going to regret it.

    We are the laughing stock of top level football. Absolute fact.

    Remember Fulham did something and recruited players to save their season. They didn’t sign them. They loaned what was needed.

    I don’t know how anyone could defend Ashley: and I don’t know how anyone can defend Bruce.

    They collectively have unravelled any good work Rafa did in the space of 18 months.

    One final mention for Charnley who has to be the most incompetent chairman in the history of football. To oversee three relegations and still be there is testament to the **** rot that the club has become.

    It’s ****ing abysmal.

    Yes but that's the point I'm trying to make... Bruce was under pressure before we went away to Everton and the window closed days after, so I believe Ashley having brought in Jones watched that performance, saw a 10 point gap, concluded we'd be OK and then we didn't bring anyone in.

    Unfortunately 45 mins of football later having gone 3-1 up we lost Manquillo, Schar and wilson and shortly followed by almiron and Maximin..

    I think we've got to be fair here... That all happened within a week and so did Fulhams 9 points.

    I know for a fact many fans thought we were safe after that Everton game and I argued I til I was blue in the face otherwise.

    Indeed so did I. And I still quote that as the turning point...... Everton Fulham.

    Fact remains this could have been avoided. Why take the risk. We knew we where not safe. We could have signed a few players on loan. We could have sacked of Bruce. We all knew as nufc fans what was coming. Everyone.

    Bruce is going down in our history as an absolute muppet of a manager. He took over a well drilled unit and he bought into the bullshit: he claimed he sanctioned joe: bollocks. He attacked the fans. He made the stupid accusations. He made all the excuses.

    But I maintain that if it wasn’t him (failure all through his career) and was someone else we would have picked up some points that would have guaranteed our safety. And he’s one of our own the greedy selfish bastard.

    He knows he’s a fraud. He doesn’t even take the training sessions he’s that lazy. He gave the players all this time off. He’s lost the fans the dressing room the whole world and yet the worm that he is is still there faking a living.

    What happens when we lose against Spurs? Nothing?

    It could also have been avoided if we didn't get those injuries.

    It's quite simple I don't blame Mike ashley this time.. I blame the manager entirely this time.

    And I still maintain that Everton Fulham game was the most important game in our history because it tilted everything. If they lost it. IMHO that was it. We would have been safe. We would have then pushed through arbitration and this rid of the parasite that is MA. The defining moment this season the one point of change when Fulham stated to win and pick up points and we the other way WAS that game.

    It changed the future history of our club. That’s my opinion and I’m ****ing sticking to it.

    The injuries while unlucky does not excuse the fact that prior to that we have been utter clart given the players Steve had at his disposal. You could argue that Ashley backed him. Yes he did. But that’s after years and years and years of total neglect. This was ashley saying **** you rafa, see I invested. But to little to late.

    He backed a heretic in Bruce and we are now paying the price.

    It’s a ****in comedy **** show. We have no scouting network. No staff. We have a Chairman who is literally an idiot. Plain and simple.

    Ashley's legacy is going down as totally and utterly destroying nufc and Bruce has basically played his part in being the final nail.

    **** them.

    Oh I blame Ashley in general, but honestly I can see why he didn't do anything post Everton.. Unfortunately everything went wrong at once very shortly after the window closing.

    I think he did enough this season personally, but the decision to appoint bruce in the 1st place was the mistake

    "Fights more"

    Does that mean challenges for things or the team actually fights, as in plays with passion and commitment?

    Is that a dig at some of the passengers we have? Jonjo, I think he's looking at you!!

    I think it's fights for more, but of course it's been sensationalised
