Apparently the Saudi Prince who the mags desperately want to take over the club so they can buy the best players in the world....... Oops I mean so he can regenerate the region... , watched via video link as his henchmen chopped up a journalist but that's ok as long as he buys the club

To be fair Khashoggi was a dangerous man who had attempted to murder the Crown Prince, kill his family and rape his niece ...

... oops, got that bit wrong. What I meant is that he was one of hundreds of journalists who report what goes on in Saudi.

Still deserved to be strangled to death and chopped up, to be fair.
 
According to my Chopwell relatives it seems that some Mags are saying that the Ritchie 'apology' has been concocted after a team meeting with Charnley that didn't involve Bruce. Ritchie apologised to his team mates for the disruption, but hasn't apologised to Bruce or taken the blame. Its been done to attempt to salvage the team spirit and unite the two camps. There's one that's led by Lascelles and the other by Shelvey, so they're saying ... Ritchie is in the Lascelles camp. They're blaming Bruce for the substitution fiasco and Shelvey for taking the free kick so quickly. Apparently the same thing happened in a previous game when a defender came on and played in the wrong position for nearly five minutes before Bruce noticed. The Ritchie substitution was the perfect opportunity to waste time at 1-0 up, but Shelvey can't resist showing off with free kicks. Jones is taking training and will be given the caretaker job if they lose at West Brom. With the compensation to Sheff Wed, salary and the payoff it will have cost Newcastle upwards of £10 million for two years of Bruce and a humiliation at Brentford.

So when the media (the esteemed Daily Mail no less) agrees with your viewpoint it's bang on facts no questions asked, when the media (The Guardian) contradicts you it's clearly bullshit and "some mags" hold the truth.

Righto.

The Guardian isn't contradicting me, there's been an apology but they specifically haven't said Ritchie apologised to Bruce.

Youve said Ritchie has admitted he was in the wrong but there's nowhere in the report that says that. He could just as easily be apologising to his team mates for the disruption, no one knows.

I'm not saying the Guardian are wrong, just that I've also heard other things as well.

Despite this being Newcastle it's not all lack and white.

If someone apologises for something it's because they've done something wrong, you don't need me to tell you that do you?

Simply not true.

I can say I'm sorry if you completely misinterpreted what I said.

Ritchie may well have apologised, to his team mates, if they were upset about the confrontation ....

... it doesn't mean he's saying he was in the wrong on the pitch or what he said afterwards.

And we call him stupid <doh>

He's a manager who wants loyalty and pride from his players despite having none of either ...

... he knew he'd fail at Newcastle but already had his excuse lined up for the media.

"Ah yes, the support wouldn't get behind me because I'd been at Sunderland."

His next stop will be Sheff Utd for the same reason.

He's already managed them, right at the start of his career. My guess is he'll rock up at somewhere like Burnley if Dyce goes, or Preston. He's finished now at any club of decent size, but some clown of an owner will fall for him.
