Mirror reporting the piracy issue is difficult to unblock according to the ashley camp. So it has been blocked according to the ashley camp and they are trying to unblock it?

It's either Americans or Big Mike next season.

The second American interested party news, has not come out without a reason.

Benitez played like that numerous times last few seasons against that type of opposition....Mags went with Tactically astute, what else can he do with those players’
Bruce does it he’s a ‘dinosaur’ no way should tactics like that be played ever.
Embarrassing man.
I’d love one of them to explain what the difference is

I've had many an argument over it.
It's what happens when some fans latch on to what they believe is a, messiah.
Anything that messiah does is deemed a work in motion. A plan ahead. A tactical masterpiece and a clearly seen build for the future.....and blah blah blah.
The dire football played was down to Ashley and co and a not fit for purpose, horrible training park with facilities that Jackie Milburn would've been disgusted about......kind of thing.

I think most fans recognise Bruce as a decent manager who's came in under difficult circumstances and generally managed to get a tune out of the players....much more than Benitez did, in my opinion....but Bruce had/has a cloud hanging over him, which was/is, certain fan's adulation of a departed manager (Benitez) who knew he was thought of as some kind of god and used that adulation as a bargaining tool to double his wages for the genius 13th place finish which was a massive genius bit of management skill of overcoming the previous season of 10th. (guffaw guffaw)

How could Bruce even begin to compete with that. (chuckle chuckle)

Bruce can do no right with some fans because those fans will never ever grow up enough to allow him to let his past be his past, such is the hatred of some towards Sunderland as a whole, which I've always found strange....and vice versa...but never found strange as a digging banter of football clubs.

Anyway, that aside, Bruce absolutely deserves the verbal kicking for allowing that first half to he played out as he did in an FA cup tie.
There's no excuse for that and it was as dismal as a performance in that half as I've ever seen in my entire life as a Newcastle United fan.....and, if I was to be subjected to that every week, I would jack it all in and start hunting for a sport that excites, or learn how to play fifa, or something.

The simple process with me is, football is a game of 11 players each side with 2 uprights and a crossbar with a net behind, at each end of the pitch. The focus of the game is to score more than the opposition and not sit back to allow them the ball but not to score past you, only.

The best form of defence is to attack and then to deal with the aftermath of losing the ball in that process. It's called, entertainment.

That first half excuse for football from us would have only been mildly acceptable if it was the last 20 minutes of a premier league game where relegation would be avoided by gaining a point.....or if we were winning the FA cup tie by a single goal with 20 minutes to go.

To start a game in that vein was nothing short of criminal and a massive insult to us Newcastle fans...and likely a massive amusing spectacle for the neutral or rivals.

Bruce has to take the rap for that first half, I'm afraid.

If Gayle had scored that sitter and then Newcastle hung in until penalties and won, Bruce still wouldv been crucified whereas it wouldv been tactical genius by Benitez. Everyone knows the crack. Embarrassing man
 
Not sure if SEB but just been on the radio 10,000 mags have signed a petition urging the Premier League to make a decision on the takeover!

Aye but if's and but's did not do anything, so Bruce has to take the lashing for that first half embarrassment. I like Bruce and think he's doing a canny job but that first half was unacceptable as a contest from a premier league side against a premier league side.
If we were non-league I'd have still hated it but I would've accepted that first half.
 
The takeover may happen but money talks.

Money talks in that if the Saudi deal goes through Bein Sport have a very strong case for damages against the Premier League.

Bein are negatively impacted by Piracy and if the Premier League allow piracy which approving the takeover would be. Bein could sue the premier League.

They can own lands in this country, invest in global British businesses but they’re not allowed to own a football club!

Absolutely no chance this gets blocked sadly.
