Disgraceful comment that, turning on your own fans.

If that's how you view it, then so be it. That's how I feel about it. If you turn up you're condoning all of the actions of the last decade.

Keegan's wasteful return, Jonas' dismissal, Hughton's sacking, replacing him with a League 1 failure, no infrastructure investment, penny-pinching, stealing advertising space, losing a World Class manager not because of demands for himself but because of demands for the club's benefit, replacing him with a bottom half Championship manager.

What does it take for people not to go back?

This probably quite hyperbolic but it's akin to an abusive relationship. If you were being abused by your partner over and over again and it's clear to see that it's going on and nothing will change... would you go back to your abuser? You'd surely be idiotic to do so?

Perhaps the proposed boycott (for 1 game is not TOO difficult - f***ing hell - it's not too much to ask), could offer an alternative to help pry these scabby idiots away from this rotten business for 1 f***ing week.

Both sides are like a badge of honor. Boycott and you've got balls. Don't boycott and you're the loyalist football supporter the world has ever seen and yet... in my opinion, in this moment of need, the most loyal thing you can do for the good of the club is to not go.

Boycotting will make little difference (if any) because of TV money. I personally won't be going not so much as a protest, but more in the fact that I'm just tired of Newcastle under Ashley, and I'm not willing to spend all that money on tickets, travel and invest all that time into it.

But folk like you that go around telling people they're "scabs" for going to the game are everything I despise in football fans these days. Stop with the "holier than thou" bollocks. You're no better or loyal because of what you're doing. And name calling and abusing other people because they don't agree with you and want to go to the game makes you look like a first class cronut. Screw the nut you lunatic.

Bruce and his staff have resigned. It edges closer

Also... Bruce has resigned. Looks like it's happening.

Is Flores any good or does he just look better stacked up to Bruce?

I vaguely remember him doing alright at Watford and seemingly unfairly getting the boot. Seems to be one of the better, realistic, options out there. Not one that there's a lot of press speculation about though. Maybe as it's sensible.

The Sun (so probably way off) reporting that we’re paying £4m compensation for Bruce

Ashley doesn't give two hoots about media and public perception. I genuinely believe schmucks like Shola go out there of their own volition to protect their own self-interest as representatives of the club.

Starting to warm to the idea of Bruce, think he will do an ok job, and at the moment I think that's what I need as a fan under this regime, I'd really hate for us to dig out a gem of a manager or another Rafa esque one, only for them to be fighting an unwinnable fight against Ashley and then be forced out due to the s*** show that we are. Maybe someone getting their head down and just doing the job is what we need until we can shift the w***** at the top.

I'm glass half-full when it comes to us, so normally I'd agree with you, but I'm struggling to find many positives right now.

Losing Rafa was a massive blow, and the club was always going to struggle to find another manager of that calibre. Bruce just comes with so much baggage already, along with very little time to actually implement a playing style or properly recruit in key positions. Ironically, I can see him being given quite a substantial budget. This is just McClaren mark two.
