Once it all turns to st (and it will) his excuse of the fans never accepting him as he's a former SAFC manager (just like us allegedly not accepting him because he's a Geordie) will be trotted out, mark my words.

Loves a good excuse does Fatty Arbuckle, everybody else's fault but his.
He must be paying him buttons if he can afford to pay his contract up this Xmas...

Less than £1m per year if you believe the press. Will be the lowest paid PL manager

He’s a pet. Barely house trained.

Why the hell would Bruce (or anyone) want that job?

(No offence but you’re not the most appealingly run club at the moment)

Well he was only 11th on the shortlist. I suppose someone had to.

Ashley has appointed him as the fall guy. We will be relegated. He won't be here for 3 years.

Sounds like a Corbridge version of Benitez biggrin That's exactly how it will pan out

Was reading this morning that the club has failed to shift 12000 season tickets. Still leaves 35000 people who thought it was a good idea to keep going to the games.

To be fair there are a lot of those who have blind faith 'support the team not the club' ste. He needs kicking in the financial balls to get the message. He is simply teasing a cat with a ball of string.

Pre-season favourites for the drop?
I don’t know how it’s changed today, but yesterday we were only sixth favourites for the drop. Heaven knows how there could be five clubs worse than Newcastle will be this season.

I’m the eternal optimist, but I’m struggling big time at the moment to find any shred of hope for the club.
Joint 3rd favourites on Betfair, behind Sheff Utd and Norwich.

Bruce favourite for the chop, along with OGS.

The Chronicle have reported that we are set to land Joelington (sp) for around £35m. Apparently Benitez didn't want him, not because he's a bad player, but because he's not worth the money. So now, with Benitez out the way, they can go ahead and sign him anyway.

What this tells me is that it's actually pointless NUFC having a manager because fatso and penfold are calling the shots anyway. The manager/coach is just a figurehead to say they have one. Why anyone in their right mind would have anything to do with this pathetic club is beyond me. Fatso probably hopes it'll placate people by smashing the transfer record....

Seen Shelvey has been fighting at 3am in my home town. Heaven knows why they chose to have a night out in Morpeth.
