He's not gonna get sacked IMO and like I said I reckon he's had a decent case with regards to his job. I posted this a few days ago and if you take the Mag factor out of it then is it as bad as some may say given the circumstances?

They won 5 of their last 8 games last season, only dropping points when they lost to Man City & Arsenal and drew with Liverpool. Aye they've had a bad start this season but missing the main striker and keeper doesn't help for starters. The lack of 'new' players also doesn't help yet most Mags are going way back to say 7 wins in 37 games as a stick to beat him with.

Even with that shit winless run last season (I'm sure Wilson and ASM were missing for some of the games also) they ended up 12th which was the best of the bottom bunch. It was Leeds, Everton, West Ham, Leicester and Aston Villa along with the big 6 who finished above them. At the start of the last season, where would they have expected to finish given the resources Bruce had. At most you'd have said maybe above Villa but even they had a decent season last season.

Agents maybe not but they don't have to face the fans or social media bile that is so common these days. Look at the reaction of fans of all clubs towards the Mags and it's no doubt that any player who goes there will get shite flung in their direction from fans at the game and online.

If they can get £3+m or even higher a year at West Ham/Leicester/Everton then why would a decent player go to the Mags for the same money? I reckon the Mags will have to pay a premium on top of the premium to pay players coming so far up north anyway.

Let’s be honest No player will give a fuck man , the only fans in the country where the majority of the fanbase are going on about human rights every day are the ones on this board , of course small minorities of other fan bases will be unhappy about it due to the human rights issues but the vast majority of football fans in England just wish it was them that had been took over.

It'll surely not take too long to realise MBS is hardly Mr Football, or likely to give a fuck what people from Newcastle think about anything.

That can't be right. Some fans have already stated they are going to give him a ring to discuss the treatment of gay people in his country, and hope he sees their view and becomes all inclusive and that.

This is why they are so accepting of the takeover and no way are they being two faced about it.

His normal patter is to come on here and "be contrary and keep posting and posting and posting until he takes over and kills the thread".

This time (presumably because 'being contrary' is an unwinnable argument?) his patter is to be "incredibly reasonable and post and post and post until he takes over the thread".

But if he REALLY is pissed off at the KSA taking over his club?
Why on earth is he on a SAFC message board day after day being "incredibly reasonable"?
Why isn't he posting on NUFC websites about how upset he is?

And now he is posting on a NUFC board?
His patter is "how can we abuse and manipulate FFP".

None of this adds up unless you believe he's here trolling?

I'll bet you one thing - I don't believe he'll carry through his promise to set up a cross supporter group to demonstrate against the owners.

There's an tiny, ugly, rubbernecking part of me that always wants tornados to be bigger, a huge volcano to go off somewhere populated, or some solar storm to cause utter chaos. That's kind of how I feel about the NUFC takeover. Not hoping for it, but that it's happened.

I have relatively limited but sufficient 1st hand experience of KSA money when they show interest in something, and it is... interesting. In the Pratchett sense of the word. And that's over like £n0 000 investments; NUFC is literal orders of magnitude weirder.
