Infinitely Content Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Why would Lascelles approach Bruce and say that our football doesn't suit his style of play? Dudes role is to be a human brick wall. Surely just because he's not that cultured on the ball doesn't mean he can't have a say in the terrible football being played in front and alongside him? You're absolutely right, I just find the scenario funny. Imagining ASM complaining about not being able to play his game, get on the ball, take players on and Lascelles is standing in the background interjecting like "yeah same".

Shearergol Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 3 more games then he's gone. Managers never turn things around once there are rumours of dressing room fallouts. Unless he sells them all in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minhosa Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 There's ZERO chance Ashley cans him. Sweet fuck all. He likes him. Bruce takes all the flak, never mutters a bad word, never demands players, never demands training ground improvements and, for as long as he's completely compliant, he'll have a job here. I honestly think there's a far greater chance of him getting a new contract than sacked. Ashley also won't give two fucks about the playing staff being unhappy. He had that under Pardew and it was never a factor so all this 'losing the dressing room' shit only matters if it actually counts. Arteta losing it at Arsenal then maybe. Bruce here? Totally irrelevant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordie john Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 The wheels are coming off. Once a manager begins to lose the dressing room, the end is in sight. It's shameful that ASM - probably one of the clubs top 3 or 4 prized assets - has just disappeared and no-one pushes Bruce for a real explanation. If these reports are true, then we are on the slippery slope down. It's taken a long time, but it looks like some players are making their feelings known. Any other owner would sack Bruce now and rebuild for January, but Ashley won't do it as there is no need as long as NUFC avoid relegation. This will all end in tears unless the takeover is a real possibility. Pray to any God who will listen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robster Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Would Howe fancy this? Under Ashley, I hope not. Eddie Howe seems like a decent fella. He doesn't deserve what he'd be given here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I think he’d do a decent job with this set of players regardless of Ashley. We’d at least have an identity and way of playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocker Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I meant Admiral of the Fleet Richard Howe, 1st Earl Howe, KG (8 March 1726 – 5 August 1799). Sorry for the confusion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Would Howe fancy this? Big thing is the Ashley factor imho. Any other owner, then he'd be all over it. I actually know NUFC fancied him and had discussions with him before McLaren. We offered him less than he was on at Bournemouth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoot Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 IF there is still chance of a takeover Ashley will sack Bruce. If he's still here in February I think it'll be clear there isn't a takeover. Bruce will take us down and lose us our best players (imagine our team without ASM and Almiron ) As long as we're well clear of danger Ashley wont sack Bruce. What month it's is irrelevant.

AlanSkÃrare Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 No chance whatsoever he'll be sacked. They hate changing managers. They even put up with Rafa's ambitions for a few years because the prospect of having to hire someone tortures them. And after Bruce, there aren't many around who'd be forever indebted to them. Sherwood? McLeish? McCarthy? Pulis and Big Sam are both busy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
