toon25 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 How does he actually want us to play then? I’ve barely seen us play this season so it would be interesting to hear how Bruce wants them set up. He doesn't know himself. He's now presumably just going to say "do what you did under Rafa" and then he can blame Rafa when it doesn't work. That’ll be exactly the team talk: ‘do what wuh did under the foreigner’ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Taking the piss now, when we get beat tomorrow will he actually blame Rafa ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 actually admitting to being a powerless, spineless moron without any ideas, would that i could remove emotions like shame and humility from my soul so easily. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 When he came I thought he was just an incompetent buffoon that was truthfully blinded by the desire to become the manager of his home town club, hes a fuckin psychopath that actually thinks he has better football knowledge than a bloke that sacrifices his entire life to coach people the art of football.

Collage Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 He has ”full control over transfers” so you have to wonder why he didn’t sign players to fit the way he wants to play... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 “I’m not going to be anybody’s ‘yes’ man,” Bruce said. “I’m too long in the tooth for that. I’ve heard it said that I’m a puppet but I’m not Mike Ashley’s bagman or anything else. I’m my own man. All I ask is to be given a chance. Whoever was sitting here would find it difficult, Rafa had quite phenomenal, unbelievable support from the fans, and they are big shoes to fill. But let me have a crack.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 I mean, yes, the players are reliant on being micromanaged. They’re quite shit and Rafa was brilliant, that’s why Steve Bruce will be no good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were right the first time. If he actually was a psychopath who thought he had better knowledge, he would stick to his psychopathic beliefs like a zealot. He wouldn't panic like a frightened mouse and ask the players to follow the previous manager's instructions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 For someone who's achieved a lot (relatively speaking in terms to the common person), he's so fucking insecure as a person it's staggering. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Pardew was unwaveringly loyal to the regime. Bruce will break after relegation and walking, blaming them last of all for his inability to succeed. For this bruce is infinitesimally less shit.

Conjo Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 They are just the same. Old has beens that relies on individual quality of players and team spirit to achieve mediocracy. The moment anything is needed from themselves it all comes crashing down. They don't understand the modern game, don't try to evolve and do the stuff that they learnt/saw their managers do as players. Personally I hope it continues. We can't risk a new manager that might rescue us to maintain the status quo. We need to go down with Bruce, and hopefully he gets the opportunity to try and take us back up as he hasn't got what it takes to do so imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 He's just playing the game. He's probably made lots of friends whilst actually paying and he knows they'll (as pundits of a similar age) never really go to town on him or his record. They'll placate the criticism, offer excuses or just plainly ignore his massive deficiencies. If he can just bluff it for long enough then he'll get a huge payout. Last as long as you can by deflecting criticism and laying the blame somewhere else. See out 9 months? Brilliant. 10? Even better, keep them at bay and keep me in a job. Keep the money coming in, keep on churning out the tired clichés to keep themselves in a job they're not equipped to do. Once the sack inevitably arrives then they'll lie low a while and the cycle starts again. He's shit, he knows he is and he's now just hanging on as long as he can. He's already scrambling and clutching at any defence. He's done 3 months and he looks fucked. Fully expect him to continue to avoid responsibility as long as he can. The bloke is a complete fraud and a parasite. He'll be here for as long as his host will tolerate him before he shakes him off like a flea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And everyone could see it coming and can see it happening apart from the morons in charge and the idiots who pay his wages. They’ll be loving how often he has a pop at the evil Spaniard too, wouldn’t be surprised if it’s an extra quid in his wages if he namechecks him.
