Shearergol Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 If he loses at WBA, I think that’s when it might start turning nasty towards him from the matchgoers. Don't think our fans are capable of turning nasty against one their own, even if he is a Man U diehard. They’ll just turn on fellow fans The fans that are left will in no way protest. Not at the club but I guarantee things will get nasty in the stands Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Things won't turn nasty in the ground, because it's now full of spectators, as opposed to supporters. Ashley has his audience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 It might do away albeit they’re far more likely to turn on the players, definitely won’t at home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 How can anyone actually think the crowd will turn on Bruce? Joelinton, Almiron, Saint Maximin, Mackem Rose and other squad members will be targeted instead. Support the team, not the regime! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colos Short and Curlies Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Surely somebody at the club has realised that the more time the players spend with Bruce, the further from Rafa's levels they get and they will have locked the gates today to prevent the extra session Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I've just watched motd2 this morning and was rattled they used Caulkin's tweet before playing our game saying "Steve Bruce isn't the problem". We definitely have a bigger problem but the free pass Bruce is getting in the media despite us being absolutely woeful is starting to irritate me on a similar scale to how Pardew was defended.

We definitely have a bigger problem but the free pass Bruce is getting in the media despite us being absolutely woeful is starting to irritate me on a similar scale to how Pardew was defended. What would make you happy? Bruce to get all the blame, or to get the sack? As all you can hope for is a slightly better manager whilst Ashley is still here. Me, I'd rather the worst possible manager as it exposes Ashley's ill-intentions towards the club. This club is not worthy of anybody's support, whether the manager is Bruce or not is irrelevant.

Me, I'd rather the worst possible manager as it exposes Ashley's ill-intentions towards the club. This club is not worthy of anybody's support, whether the manager is Bruce or not is irrelevant. Reluctantly quoting myself from another thread here because otherwise I feel like I'm going to be repeating myself a lot on this: I don't think us being in the Championship increases the chances of the club being sold. If we're not in the Premier League the chances of being taken over by anyone actually worthwhile are little to none. A lot of those reasons are Mike Ashley. I like it when we win games. Losing games is shit and although football isn't life or death for me (or close as it once was) I'm still a miserable cunt when we lose on a weekend. I, like a lot of people, haven't been to a game since Rafa left. I genuinely believe that if more people had stayed away (I'm looking at the free ticket lot) and fan action had continued, enough pressure would build and Mike would finally concede to one of these takeover attempts. So getting relegated and keeping Ashley and Bruce for another couple of years just seems like a shit idea. This wave of support for us to go down lately is getting all a bit Brexity. Absolutely no foundation of how it would be better for us but lets just stick it to the man. No. We'll be whinging in match day threads after the mackems turn us over again because of another fat head tactical masterclass. Yes I want Bruce to be sacked. I would prefer it we played better football. Even with our poor ownership and investment this is level of football is trash. That is Steve Bruce and his coaching staff's fault. You "hope we lose and get relegated lot" need to come up with a catchy Brexit-like slogan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackyboy Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Sunday training???? The problem is that 'Practice makes permanent' Not 'practice makes perfect' The training they have been doing has made them worse so more practicing will not make them better but will have the reverse effect Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBG Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Unfortunately the odd defeat here and there is to be expected when you play nothing but all out attacking football. Just look at Liverpool. Arguably the best attacking side in the world right now but could do nothing to stop Atlético Madrid. So with well over 300 defeats, is there a case to be made for Steve Bruce being the greatest attacking manager of all time? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
