TRon Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 What percentage of matchday and local supporters do you think will be happy with the appointment just because Bruce is a Geordie and a local boy? Obviously, people who follow football intently enough to post on forums like this will probably look at his managerial record and be ambivalent or worse (depending on their affection for rafa), but this clearly seems a move to placate supporters. It would not have been difficult to find someone from the continent who would have adhered to the "structure". Enough to kill any meaningful anger against Ashley, and that is the whole point. Why else would he spend money on compensation for manager with a record of failure in the top division? The geordie leader AKA Stev Bruce is probably the one card up the sleeve Ashley had left, and the perfect way to deflect from Rafa leaving and the fakeover. It's perfect.

BlueStar Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 This is so weird. Let's be honest, it was weird having a manager we liked who wanted more from the regime like we did. Having some under-qualified lick-spittle cunt will be a return to normality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really does make sense from a cunt's point of view. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley&Charnley are back in ”normal business” after they hound out Rafa. They are not looking for manager, just a coach who moves a cones in the pitch. Brutal.

Heake Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Who the fuck makes up these short lists and interviews any candidates? Do we have any actual football people in a senior position? Imagine being head of recruitment at a multi million pound company with no experience of the position you're recruiting for, with a track record of pursuing appallingly bad candidates, all whom which have failed & not only still being in a job, but being entrusted to make another appointment which, on the face of it, looks like being just as bad as the rest.

Wolfcastle Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I would now be relieved to start the season with Redfearn as manager. They've managed to find someone worse than zero, like Redfearn just wasn't enough of a kick in the crotch, so they recalibrated. He squandered more money in the championship at Aston Villa than he'll ever get here. Should help the boycotts I suppose. Suppose none of the reports, Sky especially, are suggesting this puts to bed 3months of takeover talk and smokes out that lie? Any journalists even?
