Bruce. Uninspiring, but he sounds northern and I that seems to be important to them up there. He is organised and wouldn’t be a terrible appointment to steady the ship. I won’t be taking 3/1 on them, they still have some very decent players.

A lot of the difference in the net sales is because they had something saleable and we didn't, they've still spent. Its not just transfer fees to think about. There is no way we could have competed wage wise, for say almiron or rondon. They are in the bracket above us. Ashley might not be the...

Well, Ashley isn't the bloke I'd want in charge of my club, mostly because he a bit boorish and obnoxious as a person, but he's nowhere near as bad a football chairman as Newcastle fans make out. This whole narrative they've created, where Ashley hasn't "invested" in players and Benitez is...

Any lingering respect I had for Rafa Benitez is gone. I get he's gone for the money and yeh, yeh he's not the only one, but why did he have to come out and make that statement about the Newcastle board not sharing the same vision. Totally disingenuous. You want the money Rafa, fair enough...

Mate, there are people in the world genuinely deserving of your sympathy.

Yes agree. There's a fair chance Benitez requested something entirely unreasonable, to give him the chance to walk away and put the blame on Ashley (which is what has happened). Still, Ashley really hasn't backed his manager at all has he. Apart from the £25m or whatever for Almiron...
