Might Mike Ashley, in fact, be a genius?

Aaaah but Bruce’s agent hadn’t mentioned to the press it was 1000th game then.

Record here now worse than when at your gaff. His stats over 1,000 games dont justify his longevity in game and will be bolstered by games outside Premier.

[Patrick Thistle]

If Bruce gets sacked then I expect he will tip up in Cardiff in no short time.

Very Vic n Bob that.

SNP MP John Nicolson, who sits on the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport committee, said he felt for the widow of murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

He said during a hearing: "I'm trying to imagine what it must be like to be Jamal Khashoggi's widow, when her husband has been chopped up and murdered.... and she sees numpties dancing around in cod-Arabic dresses outside Newcastle United. That must be heart-rending.

"It made me, as an outsider watching it, think there was nobody who could have taken over that club - no matter the level of evil of the person who took over - that would have resulted in anything other than celebration for large numbers of Newcastle supporters.

"That's a kind of sickness at the heart of football, isn't it?"

[longeared]

Oh good, they've sacked the horrible fucker. I presume Newcastle fans get to appoint their new boss now they've got their club back?

[Nocturnal Submission]

"Mutual consent."

Very wise, Steve, very wise.

The likes of The Athletic - apparently a more thoughtful and less clickbait orientated platform for sports journalism - were polling for Bruce’s successor over a week ago. So I would be sceptical about any even remotely sympathetic pieces about him over the next day or two. And there will be some.

[Duncan Gardner]

Useful timing if NI want a hugely Prem-experienced supremo to replace baraclough. .

Allardyce in for six months?

Fonseca is odds on with the bookies but if you fancy a punt on Kev he's available at 100/1, along with Shola Ameobi amongst others.

ANNOUNCE PULIS

“Fantastic news, I think every single Newcastle United fan is over the moon with this," supporter Alex Hurst from The True Faith podcast told BBC Radio 5 Live.“

Both regular and social media awash with stuff like this. Really nasty and unnecessary.

What’s the pay off money likely to be?

[ursus arctos]

About 8 million GBP for Bruce

[Discordant Resonance]

An eponymous bonus, then.

[Patrick Thistle]

If my employer offered me £8 million to fuck off and never come back they'd have my mutual consent and I wouldn't care what people said about me on social media.

[ursus arctos]

You might feel differently if they were obligated to do so by contract

[The Awesome Berbaslug!!!]

A contract that mike ashley gave him just before the last attempt to buy the club fell through.
