Guest teepee Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Bruce would be a vast improvement to what we've got at the moment. But he will never succeed without a bit of time and financial backing, something there is very little of at newcastle united these days.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Sign of the times.... Yes i would, theres nobody better (except KK if sold) who would take this job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 The fact is there is only one man that could save this club, one man that would give fans hope, give us belief, one man who's presence in the dugout would bring a mass of noise. A man who would get the players playing, a man who would not stand for a lack of passion, he would demand 100%. we all know who he is, we all know though that he will never ever ever ever ever ever take the job while Ashley still owns the club. That man ALAN SHEARER! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I'm saying Yes now, a sorry state of the affairs of the club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Although I'm aware of Ashley and Whelan relationship, if JFK can no longer continue in the role I'd say we need to make a move for Bruce, as he's the ideal candidate in the position we are currently in.

Bruce is the ideal option. Come on Ashley do something good for the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That puzzled me a bit too, Whelan detests Ashley yet he was willing to deal with the club in January. There are loads of reports of JJB Sports being in financial difficulties (bailiffs turning up, etc.), I don't think Whelan is in any position to be picky about who he does business with at the moment.

Guest Brazilianbob Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Apparently, Ashley owns a 27% stake in JJB Sports. That must really irritate Whelan !!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 If Whelan has any stake in JJB then it's minor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Steve Bruce would be perfect candidate for me for the following reasons: - He will be willing to work with our current coaching staff which saves the club Money by not laying them off - A lot of Premiership experience - English and a Geordie - No problems settling and for me an instant honeymoon effect - Put his heart and soul into it. Possibly could be his last move as a Manager as this is as high he can get IMO unless he would take a step down. But i feel he would stay loyal to the club. - Good in transfer market - Great with the press - Great man Management skills - i.e. Bramble, Melchiot, etc. - Has his teams playing decent football. - Compensation wouldn't be too much to pay to Wigan Some Negatives though : - Job could be too big for him -Could be Stuck in the mindset of a small club , buying small time players etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much control over that. How many were there at Wigan on Saturday? 14,000? Well if he prefers that to managing his home town club in front of 50,000 geordies he should probably stay where he is.

fredbob Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Still a no for me, with playes you can address weaknesses by simply looking for improvements on what we have becasue the options to imporve on them again is and should be a contiuos annual process, the same cant be said with managers, ideally you should be looking for the right man who will potentially be at the club for 10 years, not the man who is better than what weve got, which is a complex quite a few people seem to be suffering from. For me Bruce isnt that man, he may be better than Jose but he's not the man to bring this club forward in the long run. Wigan is his only real success and we havent even seen the completion of that job. Ill say it even though no one else wants to, we need to go foreign, there is so much talent out there which just isnt available in the PL, we need some new impetus and it wont come from these shores. Deschamps is my number 1 choice, Zico would work the system well, we need an appointment that everyone can get behind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a leading question that Tooj, the question should really be "would he mind reporting to Wise (member of the board)?" To answer your question - becasue Wise is a member of the board.
