Aaron Stokes and Damian Spellman are pouring some cold water on the recent wildfire that was started with a French report that Bruno Genesio was due to be announced as the next Newcastle United Manager.
Aaron Stokes is a reporter from the area but works as a journalist for the Daily Star. This is what he tweeted earlier when the news of Genesio had just started to break.
Just spoken to a French source with ties to Bruno Genesio. He seemed just as confused as most #NUFC fans when asked about those Le Progres claims…

Press Association reporter Damian Spellman has also followed suit and just tweeted this.
Just had it knocked down by a second source.

It just goes to show you how poor of an appointment Steve Bruce is that this news was so exciting.
Here is some of the reaction to the initial report that Bruno Genesio was in line to become the next Newcastle manager.
So the reports MA has turned his attentions to Bruno genesio now that would be a great acquisition #nufc

Thought it was odd #NUFC hadn't revealed Bruce as manager if it was a 'done deal'. Scepticism levels through the roof but Bruno Genesio would be a manager that fits the bill. Would work under a DoF model if Ashley stays, is infinitely more appealing to buyers if he sells the club

odds for Bruno Génésio to be the next manager have plummeted. 3/1 on betfair lol #nufc

Despite the financial loss we'd suffer if #nufc employed Bruno Genesio instead of Bruce it would be absolute karma working its thang!
Karma always gets you #swfc

Going for Bruno Genesio would be bloody amazing! Just want it to true…as I believe #nufc would play great football with him as manager!

But ultimately it looks like this tweet may sum the reaction on Tyneside the best.
#NUFC fans hearing reports from France that Bruno Genesio is on Tyneside 'about to finalise a deal' to become their new boss, before Steve Bruce is inevitably announced hours later… pic.twitter.com/ihmGIbsYur

I was talking to a lifelong Gooner and there is a big movement towards a boycott but like us a lot will not take notice of it!
It should be interesting though if the home and away fans are both protesting about the ownership. Apparently Kroenke is like Ashley in that he expects to show a profit and is reluctant to invest in the team!

Comment #122Arsenal fan on TalkSport said their top two targets are Zaha from Palace and a defender from Celtic and they can’t afford either of them. Still could be worse they could have Mike Arse-Lie as an owner

Comment #123Reading a Tsunki post always makes me think of a clockwork orange lol
What’s with all the aggro on here you would think there isn’t too much to fall out over given how undeniably awful everything is.
