johnny36 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 He was only in charge of 18 matches for Sheff Wed 7 wins, 8 draws and 3 losses...not sure of the football quality though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Did he play decent football at Sheff Wed at any point? Interesting view from a sheff weds fan back at the time: I think he'll reach the 18 game mark and more. If it wasn't Ashley in charge, perhaps I'd think differently, but I doubt he'll sack Bruce unless they're adrift at the bottom. Despite the lack of support for transfers, I think Newcastle have enough to stay around 16th/18th. Ashley won't want to be paying compo to Bruce, so he'll keep him in post. On the other hand, Bruce won't resign unless a better job comes up (highly unlikely). He's thick skinned, arrogant/confident, and will try to ignore the abuse from the fans. He'll still be there next July, looking forward to another season of struggle on the pitch, trying to wheeler deal in Waitrose with pennies in his pocket, whilst the abuse gets more and more vitriolic and he regrets his decision a year earlier.

Scoot Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I'm delighted he's coming out with this shite. It's making all those Bruce lovers on Twitter look like the morons they are. I see he's still trying to blame Rafa for the way we play today despite having a net spend of 100 million, has brought in how many new personnel? And had 15 months to play the way he wants us to play. The guy is an idiot and is doing what all shit managers do when they aren't good enough to be in the job, Blame everyone and anything but themselves.

thomas Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 just a pile of wet cat turds and he sets the team up in his own image. What could he possibly still be blaming on rafa? players coming up and asking for daft things like a shape or a game plan? just go out there and play football son, tactics are overrated.

Scoot Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Once again though the buck stops with Ashley as he is the idiot that decided to get shot of Rafa and appoint this complete moron. No other club in world football would think replacing Rafa Benitez with Steve Bruce was a good idea apart from this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 This guy has to go man. It's ridiculous. Mike Ashley must have Harry Redknapp coming up on his list of English managers. He's the best we could hope for from that lot. Enough of a lad to throw up into fire places with Ashley, but will genuinely have the team play some decent football. Redknapp always does well with foreign players from all over too. Surprised MA hasn't made more effort to get him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaguely recall that now you mention it. That's a shame actually. He's probably the best fit as far as Ashley's weird preferences and actually producing something decent on the pitch.

nufcjb Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 He sounds as he's off the rails. Pardew would be laughing his ass off looking at the mild criticism Bruce is getting compared to the dog abuse he had to face. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 What does he work on with these players, man There is no structure to anything we do. The movement off the ball is usually shit or non-existent and we give it away every 5 seconds. Our building from the back is passing it along the back like a hot potato and then booming it long to nobody in particular. Thoroughly depressing stuff. This club just gets worse and worse.

Yorkie Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Seriously don't waste your energy and emotions calling/hoping for a sacking. If we're in the relegation zone in February (which we won't be), maybe then think about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
