Keggy_Keagal Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Ashley won't sack Bruce unless we're past the January window and we're in the bottom three. More chance of Bruce folding under the criticism from fans and walking. Especially once fans are back at St James' . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 “I wonder if the linesman had flagged earlier (for offside), rather than waiting for it with that ridiculous rule, then who knows, it might have been averted. Aye but also then keeping him on for the rest of the game probably didn't help you welpnuckle. Question is, can we cope with Fat Sam returning when Bruce eventually does walk or get the boot?

I hate Allardyce far more than Bruce but I’ll also admit that he’s a far better manager. What he sets out to do is ugly but it’s effective when it works but the main difference is that he knows exactly how to get his team playing this way. Can there not be a reality where neither of these dinosaurs ever works again? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a related note it's gotten so tiring seeing 'worst manager ever', 'worst performance ever' etc on here over the years. Nothing against those that say it as its obviously heat of the moment. Just kind of loses it's meaning when it's been said for like 5 managers in a decade. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 After years of being a sucker I handed my ST in the day Carver got the job. Any comparison to that genuine fraud is as misplaced as bad as the rest of them have been. Yes, they're horrific but they can mask it by their mediocrity. He was other worldly.

Whitley mag Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 The fact he also sent Hayden out for the 2nd half after injuring his hamstring was another master stroke. Not only does he not have any concept of tactics, the mismanagement of injuries at every club he’s been to is testament to his general incompetence. The most damning statistic for me however is 10 times now in his 43 games we have lost by 3 goals or more. This was a team well drilled who rarely lost by more than 1 goal to even the top clubs. This nonsense that he is trying to change our style needs put to bed, he doesn’t have any style of play and he fucking knows it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I actually like Steve Bruce even though he’s a shit manager Even he’s too good for this shower of cunts, owner, season ticket holders etc. Guarantee that other cunt Luke Edwards will be slagging the appointment after a few months. Are you on glue ? Nah give it up in 2019... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I love the term ‘we’ here, is this the same medical staff who worked under Rafa ? If so they have certainly changed their way of doing things. "Unfortunately, he nicked a hamstring just before half time,” said Bruce. “We thought he was going to be OK, but he clearly wasn’t.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Bruce will be gone soon. Staveley will have someone employed in an analyst capacity assessing the club and its match performance data. With Ashley’s permission they may even have unrestricted access to the training ground and medical data too. This analyst assuming they exist will be telling Staveley that Bruce is an increasing problem and this stuff will be getting fed back to Ashley and Barnes. This maybe the real source of Bruce’s outburst about his tactics before Burnley. This analyst would get Bruce gone eventually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure they’ll have an analyst at this stage, however Owen Brown seems very involved with consortium. He’s also close to Rafa, I would imagine his view has already been sought.
