The Allardyce interview is on the Steve Bruce thread if anyone feels like inflicting anguish on themselves today and to experience murderous rage.

TalkSport this morning continuing the propaganda that Rafa went for money only. Allardyce also saying that Rafa got more patience than Bruce after a difficult start because of Rafa’s PR skills. Had to turn it off.

Sloth Fratelli :lol:

Oh joy, more PR.

Called them into training yesterday to work on pulling up their socks first Whoah, Whoah, Whoah! Slow your horses mate, they've got to put their boots on first, if they don't he'll not forgive them! Pre-game instructions for next Saturday 1. Put on boots. 2. Pull up socks 3. Roll up sleeves 4. Spread oot 5. Get stuck in You missed 6. Get wuh backsides kicked

If there was any analysis done it would likely be done by one of his coaches but like you say, what is he going to be looking for? I'm sure they'll be looking at distance covered and heart rate to make sure the players are 'putting in the effort' but anything more scientific than that will be way beyond these morons. That was a good shout. I’m going to call ‘tough love’ as his next piece of Bullshit Bingo. Im also going to call Almiron as the player he hangs out to dry first.

Just ban this daft mackem cunt Not sure he’s a Mackem, unless there are Mackems from Bedlington.

Almiron was one of Rafa's actual picks. So the narrative on him will shift between "See, we did back Rafa with a record signing of a great, young star" and "Look at this chancer from the MLS Rafa wasted all that money on" where appropriate. And that's the thing on here Almiron was Rafa's so is beyond reproach. Rafa didn't want Joelinton so he is not given any slack. It's almost the HBA love in all over again Almiron was great under Rafa and looks lost under Bruce. There's a clue somewhere as to who is to blame for that. Go on, reach for it. You can do it Luke. Ah, I get it now. Worker likes his boss so puts a shift in. Worker doesn't like new boss so takes his pay and phones it in. Sounds like he needs to give himself a shake and roll his sleeves up. Thanks for pointing that out. Bore off. Obvious WUM.

Surely these players can see that compared to Rafa this guy hasn’t got a clue. Do the basics right ffs. No Steve, you do the basics right. Like, you know, putting a sub on in the right position and putting the right mix of positions on the bench. FML what an absolute shitshow.

That fella needs an uppercut

He's never really tried IMO. But do you think it's "easier" to sell the club if we're in the Championship? I think there are two situations where he sells; someone offers him a deal too good to turn down while where in the PL or we actually start costing him money because we're in the Championship (or lower). The evidence we have so far is when we are in the PL, he runs us as a £100m business, but wants £350m+ for us, so think it's unlikely he'll sell us while we are in the PL. Outside of the PL, he "tried" to sell us the first time we went down, but not while Rafa was here. I think the most likely chance for us to get sold is to stay down, because not only is that the uncharted territory, but he's been proven to want ridiculous amounts compared to how he runs club while in the PL. Which is why it’s the only sane option for the long-term future of this amazing club to want us to be relegated and stay down in the hope it gets rid of him.

Trying in the loosest sense of the word

Yep. Sheff Utd look better than us, Norwich evidently are. Not entirely sure about Villa yet but relegation definitely looks to be beckoning. This is Bruce’s new manager bounce ffs

I’m just waiting for it to be Wise at some point. We all know he’s got that card in his deck and he’s desperate to play it for the lols.

Leffe, there is no way on God’s earth we’ll get anything out of this. I know Spurs can be Spursy at times, but you can’t be *that* Spursy

I think he’s not bothered as long as we can come back up straight away. He can hoover up the parachute payments (are they anywhere near what you get for 17th place in the PL? I don’t know enough about them), flog a couple of purples and also loan the club a bit more to keep us forever in his debt then get back up to the PL. Rinse and repeat, all the while free/ cheap advertising for Sports Direct with a (literal now) Brucie bonus of royally pissing off the stupid jawdees as he does it by setting the club back around 20 years which I think has always been part of his plan.

They’ll never sack Bruce. Just can’t see it. Pardew would still be here if SackPardew hadn’t put the pressure on so much that the crowd eventually turned, he cried and then found a way out.

Exactly. Everyone’s a winner. Apart from the supporters.

80 - 0 Wuh backsides kicked

No bother, 30 laps of the training pitches will sort this shit out in no time. Steve’s got this. Definitely. I'd really like to see a Steve Bruce training session played to Benny Hill music. :lol:

No bother, 30 laps of the training pitches will sort this shit out in no time. Steve’s got this. Definitely. I hope they all roll their sleeves up and dig in.

Hope. Extinguished. Won't return until Ashley sells or dies. If there's a silver lining, it's that Bruce is so clueless we are going down, and there's no way he will bring us back up again. Personally I still don't think the fat fuck will sell, but for those who think our only way out is to go down and stay down, well you couldn't design a better man for the job than Bruce. I’m not entirely sure he’ll sell either but it’s literally the only hope we’ve got.

Got that at 7/1. Just need us to lose to Tottenham and I’ve won 80 sheets. Already planning what to spend it on.

I’m sure he completely understands that his move here is a stepping stone to another PL club.

Yep, the answer to the ‘why are we shit?’ question lies quite literally within you Steve.
