    Why is Leicester a one off? They have shown what can be done by structured investment by a business group. Ashley is in the same league as King Power - its just they have chosen to invest and its paid off handsomely.

    Agree. Normal managers can manage. Brice was out of his depth and needed help.
    not fit for puropse.

    Jesus ****ing christ, so a new training ground is the solution to all of this? You're ****ing nuts mate, plain and simple! We had a decent spell in his first season in charge then it went tits up for a while. I'll accept things seem to have improved since Jones came on board but that's not the only thing that has happened here and some of the changes that have transpired since have been forced on us due to injury/suspension as well as key players coming back from injury.

    Bruce's win ratio is currently around 30% (80 games in total give or take).
    Chris Hughton = 60% ish (64 games)
    Graeme Souness = 44% (87 games)
    Glenn Roeder = 45% (72 games)
    Kenny Dalglish = 38% (78 games)

    Not all part of the Ashley era but he's up there with the worst of them for me...he's not even that far behind Schteeeeeve having had more than double the amount of games in charge.

    Make no bones about it, an NUFC with Bruce nowhere ****ing near it is an infinitely better place to be for all concerned, fans and players alike ! When he stops picking ****ing Shelvey week in week out you may be able to talk me into starting to think that he may have seen sense but he's a ****ing million miles away from that being a possibility from where I'm sat at the moment.

    Training ground....dear ****ing god !!!<doh>

    Not quite what my argument is... You've somehow managed to ignore e edy key point and come out with this aggressive and ridiculous response to it.

    If you could perhaps take note of what im actually saying it'll help us out here mate.

    Calm down

    They’re £600m in debt and won’t. Though we can but hope.

    Thank God you colour coded it. It would have been impossible to understand otherwise. Never could understand those who just relied on words and numbers.

    Nope, i got all your points mate....I still think you're massively wide of the mark, sorry but we'll have to agree to disagree. Ashley is the fundamental problem and everything stems from him. As good as I agree he has done from a financial/business perspective that is where it stops for me. We are a very attractive proposition to potential buyers and Ashley has to take some of the credit for that but everything that has happened over these past 2-3 years which makes you think we're better off sticking with Ashley has been done with one thing in mind and one thing only...ROI.

    You can keep covering your arse by making statements like the one in bold above as much as you want, which whilst can't be argued with as they are factually true make absolutely no ****ing sense in the context of some of your other ramblings about sticking with Ashley etc etc etc.

    You started off being fairly reasonable but as I read through you have once again disappointed me.

    You've clearly agreed with me that's the best part and then you've argued points I never presented in the 1st place <laugh>

    It's always the bloody skoda drivers isn't it
