Minton Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Haven't people been banging on about selling players to balance the books? Now we are effectively selling an asset to another club and people are losing their sheeeeet, DC can't win can he? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Just now, Skyline said: It's all very strange now. Surely if no compo has been agreed, he's not officially allowed to speak to them? Yet we have loads of reports that talks have been held and Bruce has told DC he wants out. Some very mixed messages coming from everywhere. Bruce and his agent have been into Newcastle since Benitez left touting for the job, plenty of reasonably sound reports that talks have taken place. All down to compensation and a formal approach setting out their offer of compensation. Ashley won't want to pay and DC doesn't blink in negotiations, we know that. So, if it does go through, they've paid what we wanted. We must be looking for a replacement now and ready to appoint swiftly, like Derby did.

Proper manager we've needed for a long time. Can't see it though. It's haggling from both sides, but bottom line is Bruce has been offered and wants to go. Says who? Seriously? Unless you are relying on what's reported in newspapers? If he goes fair do but so far on actual real life he's still working at Wednesday.

Bruce was happy to sign his contract and presumably made Newcastle aware of the compensation he agreed with Chansiri when discussing the role with them. If they don't want to pay that, then they can look elsewhere. I really can't see Chansiri budging.

But for once it could work to our advantage. NUFC are desperate to get a new gaffer in. We hold all the cards here, including the card which tells you how to play the game.

Hirstys Salopettes Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I’m going to be slightly controversial here ... if he stays, for whatever reason, but most likely Fat Mike is unprepared to meet the terms of SB’s release, SB is a consummate professional and will do his utmost to bring success to SWFC. Having worked with him for 6 months, seen him in at the training ground earlier than most other recent managers, I think DC knows this too.

If he goes fair do but so far on actual real life he's still working at Wednesday. C'mon now... Bruce wants it. He's been ferried around chauffeur driven by Newcastle. Only way this breaks down is if Ashley refuses to stump up - which is possible. In truth, they've been chasing Gerrard, Vieira, Arteta, Martinez, Allardyce, and gawd knows who else. I suspect Steve Bruce wants Newcastle Utd. more than Newcastle Utd. want Steve Bruce. That is what could work in our favour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
