    They daren't even complain about Bruce's style of football because they wouldn't accept any criticism of Benitez ... well and truly boxed into their only little corner.

    And, despite it being awful, Bruce is STILL more attack minded than the fat waiter (who’s bottom of the league in China with his ‘tactical genius’)

    Just to add to this, BT released there games. None on there either. The only PL club without a single live game <laugh>

    ‘Barca of the North’ and ‘everyone’s second team’ though, so at least they have that.

    In the first wave of releases so 3 month Sky/1 month BT.

    They are subject to change if games are shown free etc but these are effectively the games the broadcasters ‘paid for’.

    Not one chose them.

    It'll be a PL conspiracy no doubt. Everybody loves them apart from the PL.

    Seems like Scott Wilson is reporting Mike Ashley has ended talks with two parties about a takeover, expects to be in charge all of next season.

    But but ... there was a queue of buyers waving cheques if the Saudis pulled out.

    I really don't understand why a club in the far NE, with an almost adequate squad and only £150m to spend on their infrastructure, hasn't been snapped up for £350m by now.

    Fair enough there's an HMRC case hanging over them, they don't own SJP and the supporters are fond of death threats and funeral marches but they have a rich history of success, from the 1950's, and they love a striker, the FA Cup and have a rivalry with one the world's most famous clubs, Manchester United.

    They deserve so much more than PL football, financial stability and an owner who keeps himself in the background ...

    ... perhaps they should start a petition, shout at something or engage their local MP.
