Honestly not sure, I'd have had Howe over Bruce, I'd have most anyone over Bruce, he cannot stay. If you wanna go a bit more galactico, I'd love for Jose to come to Mr Robson's club, at least to see if it can reignite us and him a bit, again though, he's in a new job. Who's out there? Conte?

charlierc Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 The Newcastle takeover actually happening genuinely caught me by surprise. I didn't think the takeover was going to happen, or at least, we wouldn't know for sure until at least mid-January after a few tribunals, so for everything to be resolved in hours. This ultimately feels like the logical end point of the last 20 years or so of football, where ever richer and richer people with ever more controversial backstories have got involved, and in turn required even more controversial figures to get involved. Not many people out there were going to meet Ashley's £350million asking price. I'm not gonna pretend there's no moral conflict. I've sunk 20 years into supporting Newcastle and watching a succession of terrible managers playing terrible football, so it would be awesome to see us win a thing, but I can't pretend a part of me would feel dirty about the backstory of getting a shitload of Saudi oil money to get us to a point there. I don't blame people for being happy to worry about that later and be glad that Ashley, who never really looked happy running the club, is on his way out. Would be on brand for us to get relegated first tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's mad, you now have multi millionaires owning clubs in league 2 and the national league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
