What's the point, that's Bruce done okay then in your opinion? 45 points after 29 games? 50 points? 60 points? Rafa sorted out the defence for sure, but things can go wrong. Team spirit can go shit. Bruce tried something different early on, realised it was the wrong decision and went back to what Rafa had drilled into the team. That was the right decision no? Bruce has done fuck all attacking wise, there's no attacking plan. But team spirit is very important. We've never looked like a team, that will go on a 5-6 game losing streak. We are boring as fuck to watch at home, but joint best defence with 12 goals conceded, 3 defeats, and 1.5 points per game is a solid enough base. I don't hate him. He's not good enough to progress us, he will be gone for next season, and we'll get a new better manager in. That's the correct decision. Ideally Bruce will go on to get another PL job where he can fuck up big time like he has all his career, and that will be the end of the Bruce sympathy bandwagon. At least he won't have time to wreak the damage here. How many points did he need to get, for you to say he did an "okay job"? I'd give the credit to the Rafa coaching the previous 3 years. I don't think he did an okay job, he was just there. So we put a guy in off the street, we're on 35 points atm? Team spirit still the same? We aren't talking about putting a man off the street, that's just a daft example. How about putting in a young coach who's doing well in one of the lower leagues? Do I think he could have done as well as Bruce? Yes I do, maybe better tbh. So in that context Bruce hasn't done okay, he's just landed on his feet. So how many points then? Why won't you answer the question?

They'll take everything into account. Style of play, performance, tactics, team selection, post match analysis and of course, compliance with an already toxic club management. I'd say that in Bruce's case the points on the board are in spite of a shambolic performance in every aspect of his job. How many points did we need on the board, for you to say he's done an okay job? It's not a difficult question to answer. There is no number. I'll be big enough to say that i'll never accept what he does because I think that everything we get is in spite of him and not because of him. If you are prepared to give him credit for the number of points on the board then that's fair enough. Personally, I'm not. There's no number :lol: We win the league. "Fuck that fat cunt, he deserves no credit for winning the league. He's fucking shite." What the fuck are you about? Win the league You've literally said no matter, no matter how points Bruce got, you'd never say he's done an OKAY job. It's an insane comment. Think about it logically FFS. Such an asinine and disingenuous question, if he had more points then we would be playing better football and he would get the credit he would deserve. As it stands the points on the table are contrary to the displays on the pitch, ergo he deserves no credit. To the fact he's more than likely kept us up, he's played his part in facilitating the takeover by doing the minimum expected of him, does that deserve credit? Not really, in any normal club, with the financial outlay supposedly afforded to him, he's massively underperformed and he would be gone. Hell, in any normal club, he wouldn't have got the position to start with. I don't hate Bruce, I hate the idiots that gave him the job, but he hasn't affected anything that would deserve him credit. Massively underperformed? 13th in the league. 35 points. That's massively underperformed? :lol: Honestly man this fucking board. All I've said is he's done an okay job this season. Not a good job. Not a great job. AN OKAY JOB.

How can you talk about logic when you are talking about Steve Bruce winning the league ? As Newcastle fans, we have the perfect example in Alan Pardew. He managed once to get us to 5th thanks to some good fortune and a fantastic group of players. However he's clearly a terrible manager as the rest of his managerial record would prove. I can only say again that I can't say that he's done an okay job because I don't believe that our current position is by his design. You've said no matter how points Bruce got, you would never say he's done an okay job. It's a fucking crazy statement. Makes absolutely zero sense.

Krath was £5m I think. I reckon we could get half of that back.

Spurs away was a fantastic team goal (20+ passes, Astu assist chip), as was Wolves away (sexy little flick from Gayle, Almiron finish). Longstaff's goal away to Man Utd was a nice little team move and finish aswell.

Bollocks. He’s had a massive amount of luck, we’ve been playing the shittest ‘football’ in 4 divisions and the entire thing is completely unsustainable. Are you going to tell us it was a plan to have our defenders go on an unprecedented scoring spree? Good management that rescued a point with 2 injury time goals? Managing to get past the mighty Rochdale and Oxford in a mere 360 minutes of dross was top class stuff? By rights we should have been bottom of the table and thanking our lucky stars for Covid-19. We've got the joint best home defence in the league FFS. We play shit football, but the team spirit is clearly strong, and we consistently pick up points. In the quarters of FA Cup and 35 points after 29 games isn't shit. It's okay. We've got that defence BECAUSE of his predecessor. We've also got that togetherness largely down to Rafa staying on when we were relegated too. He's the luckiest cunt going. Top of my head: Sheff Utd away - robbed them Chelsea home - robbed them Spurs away - lucky as fuck to get one on the break and play them when they were the shittest they'd been in over 3 years Brighton home - fuck knows how we got a point. They battered us. Palace home - we robbed them late on, should have been a draw, they were arguably the better side. Everton away - joke of an outcome based on any reliable probability. That's relegation all day long without those flukes. Not to mention the hard work he made of every round of the F.A Cup. We hobbled through to the quarters. Bloke is a fraud and the quicker he's off the premises the better as far I'm concerned. We played well against Spurs, deserved to win the game. You can argue, we could've picked up points at home to Arsenal, Everton and Burnley away (Carroll should've had a pen Vs Everton, the Gayle sitter against Burnley). We've had luck this season for sure, and our keeper has been class. But again the team spirit has been pretty good, and when we don't get dicked, we're in most games, and consistently pick up points. Nobody is arguing to keep Bruce on, or that he's a good manager.

The press stuff is annoying. Clearly he gets wanked off in the press too much. I find the whinging about Rafa annoying, he did bang on about it too much tbf.

Before the season, you're offered 35 points after 29 games, and in quarters of FA Cup, and you wouldn't think that is okay? :lol: Clearly we need to get rid and get new manager in for the takeover. Clearly the football is shite, and he's not going to progress us. But we've not crumbled this season, we've not went on a 6 game losing streak. Apart from Leicester, we've not been bummed at home.

He's done okay. Anybody saying he has done shit, is letting their hatred of him cloud their judgement. It's a fair point, that he'd probably fuck it up in the second season tho.

Wraith was canny enough, when he worked as a doorman at Chase. Can only judge him from my interactions with him there.

Really missing football like. :'(

When I went to Uni made close friends with loads of Spurs fans, so been pissing them off all day on Whatsapp. Poch, Poch, Poch. They're rattled

Financial times video is good on you tube about this. Uploaded 10 hours ago. Amanda key to the day apparently

The moral maze.

The annoying thing about Ashley even if he made a couple of mistakes but then learned from it, and he acted professionally - it likely would have fine. He was just a dickhead. Far too many mistakes, twat.

Hate Ashley, Carver, Pardew over Bruce. He is a below average manager who has done okay this season. We serve up shit like but 35 points with 9 to go is okay. He gets a pay off, we get new manager next season. Fine with that.

Everything is just radge now

After all these years, be unreal if it happens in the middle of a global pandemic.
