Thumbheed Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Like him or not, one thing’s for sure, he’s under a lot of pressure to get things right as fast as possible. Faster than probably most managers of NUFC have been afforded. I hope he does. Got a lot of work to do based on the second half vs Arsenal. I don't think he's under any pressure. Any pressure from the crowd is nullified by the fact that Ashley doesn't care what the crowd thinks so he'll gamble to the very end. I don't see any example of the crowd's will influencing any of Ashley's decisions. Things won't be difference this time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I wonder what tactical masterclass he is planning on Saturday, i'm sure he knows just how to nullify Norwich's flowing attacking play we saw from them against Liverpool. I'm sure our new tactic of a flat back five with three holding midfielders will surfice Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitzgerald Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I would still despise him. I'm 30. I just hate snakes who also pretend to be Newcastle fans whilst being complicit in the death of the club. He's scum. Worse than scum infact It's a sad indictment of Ashley fc that a fat patsy like this is accepted and tolerated. It wouldn't happen at any other supposedly passionate fan base Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also no fan of this club would go running up the dugout as his Birmingham team scored the 5th up here in a 1-5 win He's a fat b****** that happened to be born in corbridge who hasn't gave a single f*** about Newcastle until now We have him sussed shame 45k others don't Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johneddy Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 The passionate fans have mainly left judging by the silence of the lambs on Sunday. Why don't they just bleat loudly as they vaseline their arse holes. There's a reckoning coming at our next 2 games I believe.. no good will come from all of this.

I don't see any example of the crowd's will influencing any of Ashley's decisions. Things won't be difference this time. The only pressure will come from poor results. That is the same for any manager, certainly was for Rafa when he went on a bad run. He was big enough to take the pressure and cool enough to stick to his methods. That is where I have no faith at all in Bruce as I don't believe he has any real method. He will just chop and change in blind hope like Pardew did, and I expect to see similar results.

Pressure from who? The fans? So what? It's not pressure when it doesn't lead to anything, it's just loud noise at worse. The only pressure fans can exert is by not being there.

LOL, this just backs up the statement I made in the Ashley thread re the Fifth Estate being dead. This is exactly the sort of thing that should be brought up. Historical reference. But hardly anyone gives a shit. The majority move from soundbyte to soundbyte with next to no memory of what happened before. The Romans had their circuses to keep the population distracted, when the crowds grew restless they would throw them some bread. Nothing has changed, literally nothing, just a different coat of paint. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
