themanupstairs Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I'm curious to see what he says when he gets unveiled, as he has to know what he is getting into. he'll hammer the local lad stuff to death, everything else will be ignored hope there's some proper journalists there man Apart from Caulkin, NE journos are cunts to a man. They've been salivating at the chance to reactivate their relevance as they know a fraud like Bruce will get pally pally with them. Can't believe how most of them turned on Rafa in a second, especially that vile snake Luke Edwards. Has Caulkin commented on Bruce? I know he has a very good relationship with him. Knowing Caulkin he'd avoid exaggerating Bruce's appointment or describing it as a good one, and he'd also avoid taking cheap shots at Rafa no matter his relationship with Bruce. It is possible to remain respectful to a professional relationship between them without completely taking the piss out the fans the way Edwards and Douglas have done recently.

LV Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 The sad thing about this is I actually don't give one fuck ... I've been following the club since 1999 I was 5 but it was 01/02 season i was 7/8 when i became full on obsessed... ever since the club has been an enormous part of my life ... a few years maybe even months ago the thought of Steve Bruce becoming manager would of made me furious.... but when I heard the news about Bruce I actually didn't feel anything at all couldn't give an actual fuck.... Rafa leaving has been the nail in the coffin .... It’s fucking sad that Ashley has done this to people. I’m so glad I saw the 90s under Keegan.

Guest Gonzo Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 There’s an element of hating whoever followed Rafa. Nobody would be good enough, certainly not Steve Bruce. We know he’s not up to scratch. Do I blame him for taking the job? Not at all. It’s the best role he’ll ever get. It’s the one he wanted.. even despite knowing he’ll have two hands tied behind his back and that he could be embarrassed on a weekly basis by either results or by whatever his superiors do to him, he still wants it. The Somewhere in that thick fat noggin of his, he really believes he can add something to the club. Whatever that is I do not know and he’s as known a quantity as you’ll get in English football.

FinnMag Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Bruce is mental to take the job. Im sure that Ashley promised him too something that ain’t gonna live up. ”Im gonna give you every penny that is available”. Bruce will realize very shortly that there is no pennies available...

Honestly Steve, you'd probably get a hell of a lot more support for kindly rebuffing the offer. 2019, Rafa has left, two top goalscorers have left, majority of fanbase led on another takeover fairytale and Steve bruce getting a job in the premier league at Newcastle.

What version of fucking hell is this? God just watched his Sheffield Wednesday appointment press conference what a depressing watch Said he wasn’t sure if he wanted another go at management or not. Said he had to be sure about his health. Said it will probably be his last job. Said he didn’t care that there isn’t anything to spend. I reckon he’s just coming here for one last payday/mid season pay off the guy looks finished as a manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 £40 million to spend and a percentage of future player sales, not including the Perez fee that money is gone, from an ITK Bruce family member. If that's true, there's a god awful lot of cash being filtered in and out of NUFC. A proper investigate reporter could have a field day. Just a pity there are few left, let alone any in the local media. Thing is- it doesn't need any investigating- it'll be the same move as last year. It will all be there in black and white- but it takes so long for the accounts to come in that there's always a more up-to-date clusterfuck keeping us all occupied. And we'll find out just how much truth was in the club's comment: NUFC said that Ashley considered the remaining £111m debt “to be long-term in nature, having been in place for over a decade, and repayable only in the event of the sale of the club.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
