I hope Newcastle go down. Their  fans treatment of Bruce was fairly horrible. Thought he did alright keeping them up

He did horrible. First, in the last three transfer windows they were net-spenders to the tune of £125M and yet they have gotten worse. Second, Bruce now has the worst all-time PL managerial record for anyone with 1000 matches under their belt. Third, his win rate the last 50 matches is 18%. Ouch! Finally, now that they are the richest club in the world, they need to step up and get a much better name. Bruce never would have made it this long anywhere else with his poor results. He is at best a Championship talent as manager.

And this right here is why i cant stand all the crap around Newcastle atm.

The media and there fans saying they have been through hell under Ashley these past few years and deserve this takeover to finally get there club back 

Its hardly like Ashley hasnt been spending money

This is my issue with football nowadays. I was listening to someone on the radio describing how Newcastle were seen as an attractive investment mainly because their financial results over the last 3 years meant new owners could come in and lose £150 million and still not fall foul of financial fair play.

The issue with that is for Newcastle owners that figure will be a drop in the ocean as it might for a few other owners. But then fans of other clubs with less wealthy (in football terms) owners then see Newcastle spending and want their owners to do the same. Owners then either risk the future of the club satisfying fans impatience for instant success by spending money they can't afford to keep up with those clubs, or they have their fans protesting and moaning about how they lack 'ambition' because they've only spent £50 million in the window and Newcastle spent £100 million.

Newcastle lost £54 million pounds last year, in any business you can understand why the owner wants to cut costs when you are bleeding that amount of money. If I owned a business losing anywhere near that amount of money I would be penny pinching as well. I'm not a Newcastle fan but I don't buy into all this stuff about how hard done to they've been, the owner has kept them afloat and they have had Premier league football for the vast majority of his time there. When they've been relegated he has put his hand in his pocket and got them straight back up. I'm only in my twenties but I don't ever remember a time when Newcastle have been particularly successful regardless of who has owned them or how much money they've spent. Has he been any less successful than any of their previous owners?

I know it's all relative but fans of Bury, Macclesfield etc no longer have a club to support. It kinds of puts things into perspective that no matter how hard done to fans feel at least we all have clubs to support.

I've posted before on the Derby thread, I live fairly nearby to Derby and know a few fans. I can tell you for a fact that every single one of them absolutely loved their owner when he was splashing the cash, they were constantly telling me what a genius he was for selling the stadium, bringing in Lamps, Rooney etc. It is only once he appears to have run out of money that they all now describe him as 'reckless'. Before it was 'ambition'.

And another one....Chris Beech sacked by Carlisle United.

This has been coming, albeit a case of what might have been. They were top of L2 around Xmas 2020. They then had 9 games postponed in 43 days and barely played in jan 2021. They lost their way trying to play catch up and ended up finishing mid table.

This season only 2 wins leaves them 22nd.

We can't afford Carlisle to go down, we need them back up in L1 asap, so that we can clinch promotion there!

Cloughie at Mansfield must be under pressure too
