Yorkie Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I've missed having a manager who doesn't have any semblance of a long-term vision for the team, choosing instead to tinker in a reactionary fashion to every defeat. I imagine it's the best thing about being a manager who has absolutely fuck all to do with the recruitment. One delightful picture of utter cluelessness which is sure to throw us into another nail-biting skirmish against the drop. This is it. This is what we live for.

Shearergol Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Bruce has nothing to do with recruitment and doesn’t do any coaching? So he just picks the team and formation? Useful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Steve Bruce: “After two games there is a so-called mini crisis. Everything is over sensationalised. There’s always a storm in Newcastle. At the minute we’re in one. The only way I can shut a few people up is by getting results. The buck stops with me.” "The Chopra thing (saying players didn't know where they were meant to be playing) was blown out of all proportion. Some of this stuff out there is just nonsense, blatant lies. Some of the criticism has been relentless but I'll protect the players & keep my dignity." I thought this was still just folks making quotes up. First paragraph is real cliche bingo. There's a 'storm' because you're a fucking melt, mate. Not that there even is a storm.

Yorkie Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Well he's already publicly brought their application into question so he's actually responsible for some of the 'relentless criticism' he's wittering on about. Quite what has happened for one of the hardest-grafting NUFC teams I've watched to, all of a sudden, stop giving 100%, I'm really not sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 literally had our players in god knows what formation when he made subs, but aye, too early. Either the formation is wrong, or the players don't understand his instructions. The formation we've seen so far is similar to Pardew's 5-3---------------1 I would definitely do something about it if I was him, but he's a pro so he must know best.

Wullie Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I quite like the manager of Newcastle United to be someone I can feel proud of as a representative of the city and the club.

What's worse bar on social media (which is obviously polarised as always) he couldn't be under less pressure. Matchgoers love him, his board love him and the media asking questions love him.

Danh1 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Honestly don’t look at one fixture and think we will win. Bruce could easily be manager at Christmas with a 0% win rate. And you just know that they won’t sack him either until it’s too late, if at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I genuinely can't believe how ill equipped this guy is proving to be, and that is taking into consideration his depressingly poor CV. He doesn't even have the sense to say as little as possible and not run at the mouth with this silly bravado. I actually thought with the base of what Rafa already had in place and some promising young and dynamic attackers this guy would actually have a chance of producing good results. This is going to go unprecedentedly badly. He's not just a really poor manager, but doesn't even have the personality or temperament to manage this whole situation or coax anything out of the players.

Consortium of one Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I really like Chris Hughton. He's not a top manager but he is all class. I'd have him back but not under Fat Mike. Wouldn't wish that on him again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
