Steve Bruce

You of all people know that Allam is all the things you just said about Ashley. Bruce is a good guy, if he can work with Allam he can work with anyone. And if the t**t Pardew can get along with Ashley, it can't be that hard.

Again you are wrong. Bruce is autonomous as a manager of football matters, Pardew is not; it's not always obvious, but it's there. Pardew is Ashley's lapdog, nothing less.
 
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this , but Steve Bruce nearly never became our manager when he did. He insisted to Allams that Alex was to come along as well , only the Allams didn't want Alex here , but reluctantly gave in and allowed him to come , otherwise as I say SB may not be here .
Just another thing the Allams changed their minds on
.

oh ****ing AA out!
how dare he change his mind? etc
 
You're all presuming Allam and Ashley would be able to sit down in a room and agree compensation for such a move. Can you imagine that meeting?

I believe it's common knowledge that AA didn't want to let NP leave to go back to Leicester but his hand was forced, so it wouldn't be impossible for SB to go if he really wanted to, however I would like to think that Brucey has more about him than NP, and that he would show us some loyalty after the trip that we've all enjoyed so far.

Nothing's guaranteed, and nothing ever stays the same.
