TRon Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Surely Ashley is going to stick with his new mate Brewcie as the SS NUFC sinks into the hopefully terminal depths of the Championship? Surely in hiring the man, Ashley accepts the possibility or even likelihood of relegation? Bruce tends to do well for a year or so and then it goes downhill. He kept Birmingham and Hull up the table before taking them down and Sunderland going the same way when he was sacked. Yeah, nah, not on that showing. Tend to agree. At those clubs he would have been allowed to sign his own players to fit the PFM model of combining workhorses with a couple of flair players and booting it long. Here he is going to be getting Joelintons and Maximins who he would have no idea how to use them. It would take a pretty good coach to get the best out of the players we tend to recruit under the Ashley recruitment plan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Really hope we get beat this weekend just to see the extreme colour this blokes face will go. He'll not react well to the pressure is my view. If we get turned over this weekend, then lose the next couple I fully expect the 'I'm not Rafa, they'll never accept me' lines to come out.

That's why we have him. He's here for years, trying to yo-yo between the leagues. brummie[/member] anything to add? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 He'll go Sunderland angle. I think he'll stick with the 'i'm not Rafa/everyone's cup of tea' woe is me angle. The issue he has, is that he's as thick as fuck, and if he gets a couple of arsey questions in press conferences, he'll blow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papavasiliou Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I have a horrible feeling this season will end up like another "5th place under Pardew". Couple of our players will inexplicably turn into world beaters and drag us up the league (despite Bruce's best efforts to screw it up). Couple of the bigger teams will shit the bed so much that we finish above them, making our season look even better by comparison. Obviously there's nothing pointing towards this actually coming true but it's sods law. Maybe not as high as 5th again but I can definitely see us finishing higher than Rafa ever managed to get us just so it can be used as a stick to beat the fans for the next decade.

nufc4eva Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I don't see any goals at all in our team, there will be chances but Rondon and Perez knew how to take a fair share of them. Not sure the players we are left with could show the composure those two had and think we will leave massive gaps at the back / midfield due to the tactically inept Gregg's super fan on the sideline shouting shitty instructions. We will be bottom 3 in my opinion, I only see turmoil all season and hope Rafa keeps turning the screw from afar. Lose 3 or 4 in a row under Bruce and he will lose any fans he has completely Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitzgerald Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I've said it before and I will say it again. This c*** is going to end up the most hated manager we have ever had. People will feel stupid for accepting him and giving him a chance. Just got to sit back and wait for it to all unfold. Howay you canaries!

That chance he fashioned where he controlled it then shifted it to get a shot in was decent. It will depend on how we can get the supply in though, we were pretty awful on Sunday, can't see it improving much under Bruce however. We will end up relying on Hollywood passes from Shelvey, or daft runs from Maximin rather than any intelligent movement from the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was looking forward to seeing him under Rafa. I’m pretty concerned that people will get on his back for not having scored already. Some were even starting to at the end of last season ffs and I don’t hold out much hope for him under Steve Bruce. It’s got Ben Arfa written all over it.
