TRon Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Bruce really is utter, utter dogshit isn't he. I mean, if they want a bloke to peddle out the same old football cliches and patter day in, day out, he'd be perfect for a clueless pundit job. But as a manager he is utterly wank, I remember us jokingly calling him 'special agent Bruce' while at Sunderland, I never thought we'd get him at our place though, I can't fathom how anyone would look at his cv and think "I know, we'll get Bruce in as manager, he's got what it takes" Same logic as hiring Bob Concur to do Ashley's PR for him. It's the oldest trick in the book, like hiring a female lawyer to defend a rapist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimpy474 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 11th choice my arse. He was top of feckin list, in fact there wasn't one. The arsehole fuckers running ruining this club, went for him because they thought it would placate the dumb Geordies after Rafa was treated like dirt. Replace Rafa with one of their own, they were too thick to look at his past record of crap. They wouldn't have a fucking clue, i mean they let Rafa go with is record, why in fucks name would they even look at this Easter Island faced cunts.

Abra Dubravka Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Didn't Gerrard turn it down? Next manager odds. Howe and Rafa seem really low, and Bruce was 4/1 today for next sacked. Don't usually pay too much attention to odds and betting, but they next managers seem really low. Could Brucie be actually close to a booting 7/2 - 5/2 Eddie Howe 3 Rafa 15/2 Steve Cooper 10 Blanc 14 AVB 15/2 Shearer 20 Allegri 25 KK, Naglesman, Emery, Spalleti, Favre Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why will the euros surely not be happening- we’ve had European football right up until a few weeks ago, the vaccine is being rolled out , infections will be lower in the summer regardless and after this lockdown expecting life to go back to normal no?

Abra Dubravka Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Recon he'll go Palace next season after Hodgosaurus finally retires. Last, and only club job was 12 years ago taking Boro down. Been institutionalised within the FA for best part of a decade - only focusing on coaching in perfect conditions, with top players afforded to him. Dread to think what he'd have Dummett and Hendrick doing. Watching England last year has been painful, finally stopped watching last International break. Best attacking players we've had in years, yet slow and poorly coached now. Five at the back, wing backs don't get high anymore, two holding midfielders going sideways, Mount in a front 3, Trippier giving only width on left as a right footer. He's far too defensive and negative, tactically blind (see Croatia semi) He's a younger, Savile Row Bruce, albeit with 'modern coaching ideas'.

Scotty66 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Would take Pearson. Would give the squad a kick up the arse and get them motivated which is huge when flirting with relegation. There's no way he would get on with Ashley though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 He’s not getting sacked. At least not until late March when the damage will have been done. The only way we can stay up is if the club sanctions a few transfers, particularly in central midfield.. and of course getting ASM back in the land of the living Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Very likely to be Agnew or Clemence initially. Draw a couple games and that'll be that for the rest of this season. Ameobi probably gets promoted to being Steve #3. Just need someone to spout s**t to the media as if they're not a club lackey and to pretend to have a job to replace Shola and sorted.

Abra Dubravka Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Steve #2 will become Head Steve, with Steve #3 become Steve #2, and Shola becoming the new Steve #3... If that fails, we can promote Steve #3 who's actually now Steve #2 to become top Steve; with Shola now becoming Steve #2, and bring back Sammy to become Shola. Try that until Shola's in charge with Sammy and Tomi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
