They'll get pulled all over the park within a couple of mins regardless. It'll be headless chicken stuff, no system or structure, just frantic, last ditch defending for the last 88 minutes.

Their owners genuinely want to sell the club. It’s a simple answer.

It was always going to be like this, he’s as fucking hopeless and clueless as many people thought he’d be. He’s clearly massively out of his depth both on and off the park and he’s already coming out with the type of shit you hear from managers just before they get sacked. He’s a piece of shit, he’s wank at his job and is quite prepared to throw his players under the bus to deflect blame from himself. This gormless fuckwit is an embarrassment and I sincerely hope he, or his family, are monitoring this thread, hopefully both. My only ray of light is the fact that a fair proportion of neutral fans have spotted and assessed the situation and now know the crack. They know what’s going on and have spotted the circus from miles away. This season will end in relegation, it’s a really really obvious one to call and witness. The owners thoroughly deserve it and it needs to be a longish stay away from the PL to get Ashley out, it’s the only way. Desperate times...

it's fucking wild how unhinged he already seems for someone with such rock solid backing with the people who hired him Especially when you consider that one of his main attributes, according to his pundit mates, is that he's "a safe pair of hands"

Perfectly adequate, weights are weights. Where's the issue?

Hope they asked him to give them a wave. Good old Stevie B.

Given how quickly the tailspin has started I fully expect a ‘rallying call’ from one of the more popular players soon. Dummett or Lascelles probably.

You said that already. It was even less convincing the second time. PMs only please gents. It’s lifting to read

The only thing that could work in Bruce’s favour is the fact that Spurs go to Arsenal a week after they beat us. Can see them getting 3 early goals then taking their foot off the gas and coasting for the last half hour. Or they’ll just use us as a punchbag, drill in 5 or 6 to boost their confidence a bit

The performance of the team is down to the manager tbh. There may be context and a background story but any manager is judged on results, a complete capitulation away at a newly promoted team is fucking shocking and I’d expect Shearer to say so too.

Needs a West Ham style protest from the other year. Will it happen no even though it should. Will never ever happen. The cunts in the stands are the biggest doormats imaginable. Spineless, masochistic, selfish arseholes who are only interested in their own day out on the lash. They're not interested in the welfare of the club, they just want a distraction on their social day on the piss. Fuck the result/club, as long as they have a canny day on the drink that's all that matters.

No bother, 30 laps of the training pitches will sort this shit out in no time. Steve’s got this. Definitely.

You know what’ll sort out all of these muscular injuries? More running and “working harder” on the training pitch, “getting back to basics” if you will. Just got to pick wasels up and dust wasels down, get back to work and put in the effort for the fans that have paid good money to cheer the lads on.

Yeah but he’s a Geordie, he’s managing his dad’s club and he gets the club. He’s actually from the area, knows what the fans want, he knows what it means, so...

They’re going to get their arseholes ripped out. And it’s LIVE!!!!

Looks hugely rattled too. He’s managed to combine the smarm and cliches of Pardew with the obvious lack of intelligence of Carver, the stereotypical thick Geordie wanker. He’s a fucking shambles of a man and I’ve got absolutely zero sympathy for him too. Hope he fucking bursts soon.

So the tailspin has already started! Impressively soon even for this gormless fuckwit. I’d love to go into November with only 2 points on the board then ask the dopey twats if they’re glad they gave him a chance. Cunts thoroughly deserve the club they’re about to get.

Just trying to blag his way through his own fuck up. Who spends a week picking his squad and preparing them, makes a decision to sub Jetro on then suddenly reconsiders things 2 mins later? Had he not thought of this before subbing him on? He’s a fucking holocaust of a football manager man. An utter buffoon, bullshitting his way through the season, lying, deflecting things for as long as he can. Just winging it until it’s all fucked beyond repair, which it will be by about January.

I think quite a few people are overthinking things about this lad. He wasn’t bought to fulfil a role in the team and squad, he was bought purely as an investment. His abilities and strengths wouldn’t have even been considered, he was bought to be sold in he next year or 2. It’s clear as day that the cunts running the circus got very scared when Rafa was attempting to take back a bit of control of things and they’ve reacted by reverting to type. They’ve employed a spineless doormat, scouted players most likely to increase in value and thrown them in, crossing their fingers and just hoping it’ll work. I actually feel genuinely sorry for this lad and Joelinton as they probably don’t realise they’re merely club assets, absolutely nothing more. They’ll be moved on soon enough though and they can pick up their careers again at a proper club in due course.

Pathetic transfer if I’m being totally honest. Given he’ll probably not be available for long periods of time, he’s essentially unemployed, prepared to take minimum (football) wage and we had zero competition for him should be massive red flags. He’s been singed for for the positive PR rather than his footballing contribution in my opinion. A cheap, tacky, obvious signing because i5 was easy to do. No thought, effort or imagination has gone into this, it just suited all parties. Doesn’t matter what’s happened to the squad, who’s left, who’s signed, how much has been spent, how much we’ve got back, it’s all moot. Because we’ve replaced Rafa Benitez with Steve fucking Bruce. That one replacement has just knocked 25 points from our total because this thick cunt is a million miles behind Rafa. His lack of ability renders every player transfer null and void, none of them matter. The most important individual at any club is the manager and we’ve gone from fillet steak to roadkill squirrel. We’ll go down and we’ll deserve to.

It’s awful when some posters just disappear. Just saying.

Please remember your club being successful It'll never happen again whilst I own you I'm just distracting you whilst you pay me To destroy your club in front of your very eyes

Totally agree. When Rafa's organisation unravels and the volume of the dissent increases, this retard will shit himself and be blubbing on the sidelines by January. TBF it's possible that they could stay well-drilled for a while under Bruce before the change in coaching starts to have an effect. Also think the loss of Perez is absolutely huge. Personally think it'll be a mess quite quickly. Same here. "at least wuh had a go"

Probably being way too negative here (shock) but I think that's a little dig at Rafa. He got loads of stick from cunts in the media about the way he approached games and "not having a go" and I reckon he thinks if he plays 2 up top and goes at teams he'll not get the criticism that Benitez took. It won't work obviously because he couldn't organise his sock drawer let alone a PL team. We'll lose lots of games but probably score a few too. Getting fucked 5-2 each week will quickly get irritating, even for the uberfans.

2019 and this cunt has got them doing fucking laps
