The Night-Owl Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I've lost count of all the plot twists but our forum and theirs are hilariously surreal and bonkers #2558 by Tribesman on 12 Jul, 2019 17:57 Apparently Sheffield Wednesday are waiting to see proof of funds from Ashley. Stolen from Twitter by the way. #2563 by SheikhShearer on 12 Jul, 2019 18:01 God I hope Bruce doesn't walk. I read somewhere earlier that even if he resigned, Ashley would still have to pay compensation, possibly due to the fact that they've approached him and discussed terms? No idea. I hope he rejects NUFC and Ashley has to dig through the bottom of the barrel to find some willing idiot to take over. #2565 by Scoot on 12 Jul, 2019 18:02 Quote from: toontownman on 12 Jul, 2019 17:49 Quote from: Collage on 12 Jul, 2019 17:43 So, various sources say it’s done and dusted, but we haven’t even made an approach for him? Wtf? Sounds familiar this summer. Its almost exactly the same as the fakeover. Various: Steve F*cking Bruce to be appointed as new manager #2550 by ToonArmy1892 on 12 Jul, 2019 17:43 Redfearne and Dawson be sitting there wondering if they are going to China on Sunday or not #2551 by ScottishMagpie on 12 Jul, 2019 17:46 Quote from: TK-421 on 12 Jul, 2019 17:19 Quote from: SheikhShearer on 12 Jul, 2019 17:16 Adam Oxley@adam3oxley I'm told there's no change at #swfc regarding Steve Bruce. The club hasn't received an approach from #nufc. Bruce took the Owls training today at Middlewood and has been around the club.@footballheaven 139 5:08 PM - Jul 12, 2019 Twitter Ads info and privacy 93 people are talking about this ?s=19 BBC Sheffield reporter. Ashley and Charnley are f***ing useless If there's been no approach to SW, how have they (NUFC) allegedly been able to talk to him and agree his terms? That's the question that's been rattling about my brain today...... #2552 by JH on 12 Jul, 2019 17:48 It’s not unusual for them to give permission to speak to NUFC subject to agreeing compensation #2553 by toontownman on 12 Jul, 2019 17:49 Quote from: Collage on 12 Jul, 2019 17:43 So, various sources say it’s done and dusted, but we haven’t even made an approach for him?

Fingers crossed, be great if it falls through Possibly something in this one. Will find out more. Wouldn’t be surprised if a few people had got in his ear and told him some home truths about us. The fact that he’s taking training etc would suggest he’s had second thoughts #2555 by ToonArmy1892 on 12 Jul, 2019 17:53 Well done big Al. #2556 by OCK on 12 Jul, 2019 17:54 Amazing this. I'm going to turn the ringer on, on my phone just in case. I'm sure I'll be on that list somewhere. #2557 by Rocker on 12 Jul, 2019 17:56 Quote from: OCK on 12 Jul, 2019 17:54 Amazing this.

Buzzcocks in as assistant manager. Blatantly #2561 by chopey on 12 Jul, 2019 17:59 Joking aside this is a horror show, I'm totally in the camp that wants as much pain for Ashley as possible. How can we possibly negotiate for players in the limited time we have left if we can't even get a Championship has been? that 14/1 for us to finish bottom looks very tempting just now. #2562 by ScottishMagpie on 12 Jul, 2019 18:00 So we've "approached" swfc for permission to talk to the walking cabbage and been that was granted, we've had talks with him but we've not gone back to "approach" the subject of compensation? #2563 by SheikhShearer on 12 Jul, 2019 18:01 God I hope Bruce doesn't walk.

Might have a manager by September #2567 by Collage on 12 Jul, 2019 18:10 Quote from: Scoot on 12 Jul, 2019 18:02 Quote from: toontownman on 12 Jul, 2019 17:49 Quote from: Collage on 12 Jul, 2019 17:43 So, various sources say it’s done and dusted, but we haven’t even made an approach for him?

Yeah, I don’t get it though The so called takeover was a smoke screen, but this...? #2568 by Conjo on 12 Jul, 2019 18:19 Hope they f*** us over on the fee so we can go as long as possible without any preparation or new players. #2570 by ToonArmy1892 on 12 Jul, 2019 18:25 I don't know what Ashley is thinking. Bruce isn't even guaranteed to do a better job than Redfearne and Dawson, he might aswell just keep things as they are and save on the money. He is f***ing mad. #2571 by Shelvey's Hair on 12 Jul, 2019 18:26 Maybe the club are trying to scare us into excepting Redfearn Who appointed him anyway? seemed to come out of the blue and he was working for Talkshoite.. so Id assume something to do with Wise?

Big Jack Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Mike Ashley will NOT pay the compensation. His attitude is that SB should resign. SB will not resign. MA will start looking elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I was there I said “I might as well order the same for the interval” I optimistically pulled a £20 note out of my wallet and he came back from the till and said £22. The same round in the Lyceum is about £11!!! In the same bar, there were champagne corks popping right left and centre. It just makes you wonder what some people do for a living.

That said, the Geordies are even more clueless than us and Twitter is the King of cluelessness... So, I ain't got a clue if that's correct or not?

There are surely managers that would jump at a chance to manage in the PL even under such conditions. Asley might have to lower his expectations but that would be his choice.

I would expect that if the manager was to resign there would be something in his contract that would prevent him from working for someone else immediately and so would be put on gardening leave. Newcastle wont be waiting around for that to get sorted out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
