As someone saidSteve Bruce confirmed as Newcastle boss.
Going from Rafa to Bruce is like going on a date with Michelle Keegan and ending up sleeping with Susan Boyle

You're telling me - I'm stunned that a team famed for their defensive resilience wants a wing back who can't defend!

The only thing worse than a PL team hiring Steve Bruce in 2019.

It can't be real, surely? Seems like an attempt for Paddy Power to go viral and get people stirred up. That can't be their real kit, if it is, it's the worst football shirt ever.

Yeah I saw that this morning, I'm inclined to believe it's a Paddy Power wind-up. I think there are rules on the maximum size the sponsorship can take up on the shirt.
Some of thier ads are superb, i think you're spot on. Real one released soon.

There are indeed rules although can't seem to find them online at the moment and this definitely looks to be too large in terms of a logo and print size.
As for Bruce to Newcastle, I wonder how many players will suddenly be eyeing up moves away and who would want to go there given the brand of football he's noted for. I am not sure if they are bad enough to be relegated given who is coming up and a couple of other PL sides that are normally in or around a relegation scrap but it wouldn't surprise me if they are still fighting for crucial points to get clear right until the end of the season. Ashley and United are a story that just runs and runs.

The Paddy Power ad team really are quite brilliant. They certainly know how to get publicity.
Bruce is a very good championship manager but an average PL one going to a poor team without goals. At least he is familiar with relegation scraps because I can see him being in one this season.

The team as it stands now, is utter rubbish, championship standard at best. We have lost three strikers and signed no one, the talk of signing Joelinton for 30 million is nonsense, the only way that will happen is if Longstaff goes to Man U for the same figure or more.
I'll continue to watch them on TV but that's it.
My gut feeling is that NUFC will finish 4th, 4th bottom that is, avoiding relegation just, only just.
Will be interesting to see if Bruce has any pull in bringing players in, and how much he actually has to spend.
Incidentally, Bruce is Head Coach, not manager. Questionable about how much say he will have in signings. Ashley seems to be going back to the Pardew era of how to manage the club after giving Rafa a little more, not much, leeway.

I think Bruce being Newcastle manager is just brilliant.
for all the teams that were wondering who would finish bottom of the league .that position is now closed.

Yup. I'm sure there will now be an unprecedented number of people clicking on the Huddersfield official merchandise store to check out of these kits are legit.

Unless Bruce is gone before Christmas then this is just wishful thinking I'm afraid. That said, he probably will be gone before Christmas.
