Kinnear’s management was just before my time as a supporter, so I’ll not rate him in that regard. In terms of direness of quality on the pitch: McClaren has to be higher up the shithousery list, do you not remember when Chelsea hammered us 5-0 he came on the tv smiling from ear to ear after Just never got it right at all. "Judge me after 7 games." *7 games later* "wait, haha, did I say 7? I meant 10. Judge me after 10 games." *3 games later* "Would you spot me 15? Just wait until 15 before deciding...."

it could have been deliberate I suppose

his wage bill _is_ our transfer budget.

literally lost all confidence in kennedy if he's appearing on that human caruncle's podcast tbh

just gonna go ahead and save that post to the ol screenshots folder .... fantastic.

imo it's on and I'm sleeping easy.

If it's a loan I'm cool I guess? Their dumpster players need minutes, they'll clearly walk into our first team, and a loan won't last long enough to cause permanent brain damage from bruceball. win/win?

Happy New Year’s ?

brb setting up a slanderous twitter botnet to ruin ben jacobs

it'd look even worse if they weren't using a 20 year old photo

A manager's quality isn't defined by their 38% lifetime win rate but the one off games where they scrape a draw against big sides.

liverpool haven't even gotten out of second gear bit bizarre and not entirely sure they're not toying with us

ASM and Almiron account for 90% of the pace of our squad and one's not playing because of a remorseless, disgusting disease and the other has covid

for me, even if your first paragraph was the case, the fact he walked into it willingly is the crux of why I wouldn't spare him a drop of thought. Was hardly like Ashley - and what he's all about - was an unknown quantity to the footballing world when Bruce signed on

imagine circling the bowl for a year and a half before deciding you need to instill a mentality in the side and that mentality will be planless, tacticless blind panic

I mean you can absolutely be upset that bruce exists at this club while also being upset at Ashley. There's no rule saying you have to limit your vitriol to one person. He's not the root cause but he's fucking godawful and there's no reason to give him a pass just because a worse ballbag of a human owns the club.

Pardewball was helped immensely by Carr finding dodgy contracts to buy out for good talent on the continent. at its core it's a different kind of bad to bruceball but not, imo objectively worse. it was made to seem worse by the megacunt status of Alan. Bruceball is planless, shapeless, formless, toothless and hopeless, helmed at all times by a sad stupid wanker who doesn't know any - and can't change for the - better. In terms of footballing direness this is miles past Pardewball hands down every day of the week and twice on sundays.

bruce turning the question on supporters

they're morally, intellectually, ethically bankrupt cunts

That much? going all out for the equalizer, bruce an attacking coach, stats don't lie

"opinions stronly divided on Bruce up there - some think he's done a good job, others insist he's done a great job." :lol:
