When you oil this down to the bare bones, only TWO people come out of it with any distinction - the TWO Chairmen

 

Look at it from Chansiri's pov -He has a Manager, whom he appointed, allowed leave of absence at a crucial time before he started. and has had the guts to allow N'castle to speak to man in the SW Manager's Chair He then reportedly says that they may have the Man they want provided they stick to the agreement and pay the required compensation.

 

Look at it from Ashley's pov. He has identified the man he wants. He has gone through the. proper channels,speaks to the man (I presume). So far so good.

 

Ashley then makes an offer to Wednesday about compensation which Wednesday refuse.

 

THIS IS NORMAL PRACTICE IN THE FOOTBALL WORLD.

Both Chairmen come out of this, having done exactly what is expected of them. The ball is now firmly in Steve Bruce's court.. Does he stay at S6 or does he go to his so-called beloved Newcastle 

 

Credit goes IMO to both Chairmen. First to Chansiri for refusing to budge -pay up or else the deal is off. 

Credit must also go to Ashley who has followed the rules. The fact that he is reported to have offered Bruce a 'mere' One million Pounds/ year is to be applauded, not because of the people involved, but because a Chairman has AT LONG LAST decided that Managers are paid far too much money. Well done Ashley.! 

you say Ashley followed the rules-did he make a formal approach to the club?

perfectly put. the chairman of Newcastle is testing how desperate he is, seems a piece of work to me.

How can the ball be in SB's court when the two chairman can't agree on compensation?

That why I find it baffling he’s considering going there right now. On the face of it up until this episode he’d got everything going for him here. Decent wages allegedly comparable to what he’d get at Newcastle and a fan base that understands his current restrictions and would give him a bit of time to build for promotion as opposed to going straight into a relegation battle and facing hostile fans. It doesn’t seem to make much sense unless there’s something behind the scenes that we’re not aware of.

I think there is more to this than whats being said. SB more or less implied he has too many forwards and needs to sell so he can bring other targets in. The stumbling block would be DC who has unreliastic valuations on players such as Rhodes.

He'll make him clock in and out too and toilet breaks will come out of his own time

 

Can't really blame Bruce in being interested but Ashley is a c*nt and I hope we stand firm with our next manager ready and waiting in the wings

 

Just noticed this too, good luck Ashley you fat c*nt

 

Ashley has now been met with a demand for around £5m. He is not prepared to pay anywhere near that and is hoping Bruce will walk out, leaving both parties to haggle over the final terms.

Surely if this is allowed you could do same with a player? 

 

I don't wana pay your release fee of 75million so just cancel your contract and its free. 

 

No way is that legal for a manager anymore than it is for a player

Not really. £2m a year, around £40k p/w. 

 

Newcastle offering him £1m a year, but with huge bonuses.

This might not be popular in the current climate, but in my opinion Steve Bruce is one of football's good guys.

 

Hes caught in a position here where he's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.

 

This IS the job he's always wanted. I've no doubt he's enjoyed his time with us and would have enjoyed his time going forward, but he can't manage both teams and he can't leave us without upsetting lots of people.

 

Said it in another thread, let's see how he deals with this from here and if indeed he does leave it to the clubs to sort out. It's if they can't that the test of his integrity will come.

 

If Newcastle aren't prepared to.pay the stipulated compensation then he needs to take it on the chin, accept that the timing may have been right for him (with regards to being offered the job) but it's not for us. He will need to.accept that Newcastle perhaps didn't want him as much as he wants them, and then he needs to get back to work.

 

 

Looks like we have our answer.
