Football 2021/2022

[thetime]

So Bruce will probably be gone, I wonder how Newcastle will go? Conte? Or perhaps someone like Rodgers.

Would anyone else love to see what Steve Bruce could do with unlimited funds?

Give him one window!

To all the Newcastle fans, I sincerely hope you enjoy the ride. Pay no attention to all the bullshit and bile which will be flung your way.

I'm sure they can do better than rafa, said it for years he is one over rated manager.

Eddie Howe is currently bookies favourite. Conte seems a no brainer if they have the pulling power.

He melts if he goes any further north than Watford Gap.

You would imagine it will be stepping stones, rather than going massive now.

That would be the sensible way.

Is he going to leave Italy, for Newcastle in the current state?

Shame it didn't happened in the summer, I think he's have been back and I'd have liked that, properly understood the city and the football club.

If you’re going to join in the ruination of football then at least give the rest of us a laugh whilst doing so.

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?

Keep Bruce, get relegated.... be hilarious!

We've been giving the rest of you a laugh for long enough, time to get serious now.

Yea Howe would be stepping stone and Conte massive.. I guess Zidane would be statement, Fat Frank would be amusing:

Eddie Howe: 21/10
Steven Gerrard: 4/1
Antonio Conte: 5/1
Chris Wilder: 11/2
Graeme Jones: 11/2
Rafa Benitez: 10/1
Roberto Martinez: 10/1
Frank Lampard: 10/1
Unai Emery: 16/1
Jose Mourinho: 17/1
Alan Shearer: 17/1
Brendan Rodgers: 20/1
Zinedine Zidane: 20/1

Imagining Man United rubbing their hands together at Bruce waddling over with a blank chequebook.

”Jesse Lingard and Anthony Martial… Two hundred mill the pair! We’ll even throw a Phil Jones in for free.”

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.

It's mad, you now have multi millionaires owning clubs in league 2 and the national league.
