ToonArmy1892 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 He is such a f***ing cretin, he's worse than f***ing Pards somehow. Not as bad a person, but probably a worse manager, I'd say. I don't know, he seems a cunt to me, look at his treatment of Sheffield Wednesday. I think he tries to hide behind this softly spoken nice guy image but would sell his mother down the river. At least Pardew didn't pretend he wasn't a cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf, he was up for the England job at one time, so he wasn't far wrong. Half the people who write about football should be lined up against a wall and shot.

midds Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 He's called a training session for tomorrow apparently. Do you reckon he'll just shout at everyone? Or do you think it'll be everyone sitting in a circle and if someone says a good idea everyone has to go "yes and ho". No bother, 30 laps of the training pitches will sort this shit out in no time.

Tsunami Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 He’s in an almost impossible position, 11th choice, not enough time preseason, existing players who must have been pissed off with the shambolic way the club handled Rafa and then muddled around for a replacement and new signings coming into a storm. The bile that’s coming his way needs to be redirected to Ashley, Bruce is making the hash of it most believed he would and his media skills are clumsy and crass. I’ve never rated Bruce as a manager, I detest his weird accent, he looks like he lives in Fenwicks doorway and I really don’t think he had any real support for NUFC. His dad might have but I can’t remember Bruce ever recalling any NUFC matches of his youth or attending any as a fan. The fact that he managed Sunderland is neither here nor there for me. Directing shit towards Bruce might get him out but he’d simply get replaced. Ashley has to be the target we should remember that. Bruce is just a symptom.

David Edgar Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Or do you think it'll be everyone sitting in a circle and if someone says a good idea everyone has to go "yes and ho". Shelvey: Uh, Hollywood balls every 30 seconds. [throws ball] Everyone: Yes and ho! Ki Sung-yueng: Reduce the opponent threat through meticulous studying of their common decisions and devise a means to counter attack with minimal exposure of the channels through our midfield. Everyone except Bruce: Yes and ho! Bruce: Ki, Ki I want to hear new ideas ricocheting off your synapses like a pinball, not just a two year old slogan.

Partly think this was half the reason he was hired, they knew he was no good and would probably take the heat off Ashley for a while. Turn the concentration on to Bruce and away from the real issue. Probably why Charnley has got a lot more vocal recently too because he knows he's inciting hatred and again that takes focus away from Ashley and on to another of his patsy shoe lickers.

mrmojorisin75 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Hard to believe it's ended up like this, with this guy in charge. Rafa Benitez, man. We had it so f***ing good for once. Hope. Extinguished. Won't return until Ashley sells or dies. The funny thing is that the vast majority of clubs will never have a manager of that calibre, nevermind a club our size. Even the clubs that strive to improve by and large will never be lucky enough to get anything as good as Rafa. We threw him in the bin. Pull the plug.

Greg Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 He was hired because no manager worth their onions and with any credibility would touch the job and we needed someone with three weeks to go unti the start of the season.

Andy Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Genuinely thought he might fluke a decent start (Pardew-style) on the back of Rafa's tactics already being deeply-instilled in the players, but up to now it appears he's almost majestically managed to dismantle all of the foundations we had in place within a matter of weeks. Pretty impressive how bad he made us look today to be honest. At times it was almost impossible to tell where some of our players were playing - was Almiron up front or in midfield? Was Hayden in midfield or on the right wing? Was Ki on the pitch or back home in Korea? Was Joelinton actually Rivierre with a bit of bleach on his head? The players have to look at themselves a bit as well mind because they looked more than a yard off the pace and at times I felt there was an apparent lack of effort. But again, it all circles back to fat head. They already know that all the blame is going to be directed at his ineptitude so they can play at 50% and avoid all the flak. It'll take either a miracle or some very bad competition for this team not to finish rock bottom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robster Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Tsunami[/member] I agree that Ashley is the problem but he's difficult to get at. Bruce is much easier. Pile the pressure on him. If it affects him and his ability to do the job, great. If he walks, great. It already seems that few people wanted the job so the more toxic the position is made, the bigger a headache it becomes for Ashley. The more hapless the replacements are, the further we fall. That's how we get to Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Bruce himself admits he was at a loss to explain why his players performed so poorly at Norwich. ‘If I knew the answer (to why) then of course I would have changed something,’ he said. 'They are not bad players, but you have to apply yourself better than what we did today.’ Errrm isn't that kind of your job. Prick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
