Shearergol Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 We were in the relegation zone after 18 games under McClaren and they didn't feel concerned enough to sack him then. We're seven points clear with 20 games left. He’s got 5 more games, max. We’ll be bottom 4 by then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 At what point during the season did we sack Mcclaren? It was far too late, when the writing was on the wall and we are looking to repeat that again. Sacked on 11 March. Benitez got 10 games to keep us up. Sack him now, get someone in and they've got 20 games. To any person with a semblance of intellect, it has to happen. He is showing more improvement than the team then. 8 for Shearer, 10 for Rafa, 12 for Ron Atkinson? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abra Dubravka Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Something feels different now to when there was pressure building on McLaren. Seems since the Brentford loss it finally clocked with the non-Newcastle people, that the blokes a bag of s***... Lose all the games we weren't went to win anyway, then Sheff U the nation has picked up again we're s****, and Bruce is actually not doing a good job. Pressure seems to be building stronger and quicker now from the outside (non-NUFC fans) on Bruce, than it ever did with McLaren. If Bruce thought last week was tough, can see week coming building up to Villa being twice as bad; considering the whole he's dug for himself, and rope he's left hanging for himself with his comments this week gone. Deep outside chance of winning away at Villa, then two more games we've outside chance of drawing - even if Ashley doesn't sack him, he's going to be close to walking soon enough... Got to be worst pressure he's facing the coming week in his career, and that's without playing in front of a home crowd in nearly a year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 If he had any self-respect, he would resign. But he hasn't and he won't. He's going to be here for a while yet. Ashley will only panic when it's too late to turn it around. Remember Carver and Maclaren? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 It doesn’t feel different at all. Arsenal away is a free hit. Charnley and Ashley are thick enough to fall for Bruce’s lies that playing more attacking players showed he tried to win the game when in fact all it was, was so he could turn around and say he tried after getting beaten. If he was close to getting sacked then he would have been sacked 6 days ago when made Sheffield United look like prime Man City/Barca under Guardiola. Maybe Ashley thinks the takeover is close enough that sacking a manager is no longer his problem, maybe it’s not and he does not sense the danger. I don’t know but it’s clear Bruce isn’t close to being sacked this week. Loses against Villa and Leeds may change that but I doubt it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
