    PIF isn't the state. The sovereign wealth fund does not fall under the legal definition. That one has been covered several times.

    Just watched Bruce's post match interview and think he was fair.

    He said he's got to expect criticism when you have such an awful run, but that he always said we'd be OK when we got our best players fit and on the pitch.

    He's right.

    Nope. That's someone who understands legal rules.

    So then what's the problem? Surely if its so clear cut we wouldn't be sitting here 25 months later?

    Now this I don't mind at all because it's the crux of the matter.

    The fans don't like him and it ends there... All the stuff they dig out is just a smokescreen.

    Fair play to you mate

    Again that's fine that's the honesty coming out..

    I don't mind people just saying they hate him and couldn't give a **** if we're getting better.

    Mate we're stuck with Ashley for years and Bruce's earned himself a new contract.

    It is what it is.

    The circle is mid table and where we should be aiming.

    The arrow is where we are and minimum expectations!

    So should Leeds so good for them.. They spent more than us too.

    We're going to finish around 13th again.

    It was Sheffield United than nufc were admiring last year mate and of wait they're ****ed only 12 months later.

    We're not

    Get takeover done in summer.
    Get Bruce packing. Thank him for keeping us up.
    Start progress.
    Forget he ever managed us.

    That’s my plan!

    He did get criticism when we were on an horrific run but he didn’t accept the criticism he blamed just about everyone else as he was in Egypt in De Nile.

    Well I think he actually made some valid excuses looking at it now.

    The situation was bad there's no denying that, but there's nothing wrong with giving credit for what's taken place since.

    It's clear in wasting my time and all I'm getting is whataboutery.

    Nufc fans seem incapable of just saying fair play and leaving it there.

    I've seen some at least saying well done and fair play and then comes the buts. Childish.!
