Where's superblackcatsforver-biggest-meff-on-wearside? I'm suprised he's not shown up yet.
 
City Independent website claim he's agreed a 3 and a half years deal.

Announcement due Thursday, press conference at the KC on Friday.

They also claim Turner and Campbell are 'coming back'.

The future's bright!

Are they claiming it as a world first exclusive?

Jesus Christ, just looked and they are claiming it as a "First yet again".

Are those cretins part of the Cott OSC by any chance?
 
He's good enough for our club, if he wants the job. It'll probably be a while before he signs anything though.

The mackems hate anyone Newcastle orientated because they have massive chips, which bob carvers would be proud of, on both their shoulders.

I just hope he wins the fans over.

The bitterness of some people over the Barmby sacking could roll over to next season.
 
Top of the league for the whole season, promotion, winning the PL next year and the champions league the year after would not win some of the whingers on here over.
 
It's not going to surprise me Fezzy. I said all along they'd say nowt because they are most certainly not blameless in any of this.

Luckily the fanboys made sure that if nothings said, it's because of

( ) Lawyers
( ) The sake of the Club

And another poster, yet again like a dog with a ****ing bone...

For the record, I'm sitting on the fence with our owners if that's good enough? Their actions have been fantastic or seemingly short-sighted and irratic and it raises questions... the biggest reason I'm sat on the fence though, is because everything seemed pretty rosy with our previous owners for so long.

Reading through the threads on this forum have been cringeworthy recently from both sides of this apparent Allam divide. You're certainly one of the worst from the pro-Allam side, but I could pick so many others who are consistently bickering about things that NOBODY knows the facts about... It might as well be a "which is the true religion" debate.

I'm praying (no pun intended) come Friday that people shift their focus to the Euros, at least for a week to give this a chance to disintegrate. I've noticed loads of the usual posters have stayed away for a good week or so now. It's tedious, off putting and so, so boring to read through. You open a thread about the likely candidate for new manager and it quickly devolves into a puddle of wet **** because one of the same few trumped up nancy boys is attempting to prematurely play the "I told you so" card when they haven't got a ****ing clue what's going on! The misinterpretations between posters of either side make it ten times worse!

Where have all these posters developed such a stubborn, unrelenting agenda?

Can we have an Allam debate thread for this please? I'll know what to avoid that way and it'll save so many threads.
 
Huge coup if true. Shame he'll probably be gone well before January, when some poor soul loses their job ridiculously early in the season.

I don't like the guy, and I believe many are in the same boat, but it's still a fantastic appointment.

Davies would have been my choice but considering some of the names mentioned getting Bruce would be a relief. I don't really like him (or Davies) as a person, but he might be able to do a job for us.
 
This latest news should, even for the dimist supporter highlight the fact that these people really have ambition, tempered by good business sense! Whow what a refreshing change eh!

i assume dimism is some sort of american monetary theory named after their dime. can you post a link to it please? it appears not to be on wikipedia and i'd like to understand it so i can work out whether i am for or against it. thank you.
 
I am not actually a member of the supporters club but have thought about joining. Maybe their opinion of the Allams have been soured by dealings they have had with him. My misgivings are just like you said, "a feeling". However hats off to them if they have managed to get Bruce. I just hope that they get some players signed now.

The OSC have a pretty good relationship with Mr Allam, it's a load of bollocks made up on here in the last couple of days that everyone has decided (perhaps based on my 'Assem Allam' thread) that the OSC have a big problem with the owners. Just like anyone on here who has expressed concern about them.

How come a few people are saying Bruce's will be a 3 and a half year deal? It can't finish mid-season surely?

Ian garmston is part of the same group that "i saw the premier league tigers" got his info from the other day . he is part of the OSC cottingham branch that is clearly biased towards barmby (going to man utd academy as coach) and adam pearson (finally found out for the person he is ) ...

one question to that reliable info ... why 3.5 years ... that takes us to a january ? ??

I don't think Ian Garmston is in the group at all any more. Well he's a member but I don't think he helps run it any more. Just because someone doesn't agree with you doesn't mean they are biased to anyone particular. Based on the agressive crap you keep posting, it seems you're the one with the pre-decided bias.

signals real intent IMO .. add to that the money that Bruce would have wanted on players and then you begin to wonder .. Was Barmby telling the truth ? ... anyway hes off to Man utd academy so no biggy

I think the owners might chuck a bit more money in now to get the fans back on side, but it doesn't mean Barmby wasn't telling the truth, the two are unrelated. As for Barmby, so what if he went to Man U (I guess you know something?) He deserves a decent job like that. No doubt you'll tell me Man United are biased as well though because they hate the Allams or some other bollocks.
 
Damage limitation if he is appointed. Biggest name we could have gotten arguably, good contacts and nice guy but it doesn't mean he'll do well. He'd probably do quite good but any assumptions of promotion would be very silly

looking on oddschecker Bruce is in the top three to land the job as the next manager at 4 or 5 different clubs.
from Bolton and Norwich to West Ham and Wigan - not to mention Hull City or Brum
 
I'm glad it seems like it's going to be sorted now.

I was beginning to get frustrated with the unemployed, one-offer-on-the-table manager that is Bruce.

Surely the club couldn't have been too far away from saying "You know what Steve? Ram it!"

Finally he saw sense, in the nick of time.

He'd better not **** off at a moment's notice neither.

Though to sum up, I'm satisfied.

Would a gathering of these people be DIM SUMS ????

Would one of the male worshippers be called a DIMISTER ?

:huh::huh::huh:
 
i fail to see why we had to wait for a **** unemployed manager to give us the nod...............

Sorry but who out there better than Bruce would you realistically expect to get/want the job? We're not gonna attract the very top managers when we're a Championship club. For the size of our club and current ambitions Bruce is a good appointment.
