Imagine how toxic the ground would be right now if fans were allowed in. I don’t think it’s the same as Pardew where a fairly significant portion still wanted him there, or with Mcclaren who was a good bloke but just

not up to the job. I don’t know any Newcastle fan that likes this bloke or rates him as a good manager.

 

It really wouldn't be. It was full of sheep before pandemic. This is what the go to the game regardless crew had asked for and got what they deserve so can't complain really

Whilst at Aston Villa^

 

Same old shit waffle!

 

4 or 5 players (so probably 6 or 7!) didn't train all week and didn't look fit, yet he started them?! :lol: Fair play for taking ownership of that disgustingly bad mistake, but that was one hell of a massive, disgusting mistake, fella!  :lol:

 

He is genuinely thick as fuck. :lol:

The man is Trump-like in as much as I hate to even see him, let alone hear him spout his utter shite.....

 

But, here is a thought. We know that he is worse than awful, but the so called pundits (including Mr Shearer, sadly) give him no stick at all, say he is 'doing a good job' despite all the evidence to the contrary.

 

So, let him stay in the job, lose game after game in the most boring and dull way imaginable. 25% possession. 0 shots on target. 18% of the time in the opposition half. You get the idea...

 

It will get to the stage when even his most ardent and biased supporters (Savage, Sherwood etc) have absolutely nothing to defend him with, and then they finally see the truth and start attacking him.

 

Then, and only then can he be sacked and never, ever, ever 'grace' our game again and be banished shamefully into the oblivion he so deserves.

7 figure compensation being reported in stopping Ashley sacking him :o

 

Wouldn't that be the case with EVERY manger, likely in the Championship and Premiership? It was widely reported he was going to be the lowest paid manager in the league when he took over. Still raking in 1m a year and a year and a half on his contract.

His quotes to the BBC after that game:

 

"Ultimately I take the responsibility because I pick the players, but some of them have got to have a look at themselves too," Bruce told BBC WM.

 

"From back to front we were awful in a lot of aspects, but I've mentioned it far too many times, it's arguably the worst one I've faced, but that's the way it is.

 

"We can talk about tactics and 'you don't know what you're doing' and 'dinosaurs are going to come out', but at the end of the day we didn't put our boots on."

 

"When you're the manager of [blank] and you get beaten in the manner we did today you've got to accept the flack that comes your way," he added after a fifth successive game without a win.

 

"Whether that's going to be the case, I sincerely hope not, but I've got to be expected to face that because the first half was my fault."

 

Bruce added: "Is there anybody better? I'm sure people are going to ring in and say 'yes there is', and if that's the case so be it."

Well, I googled "dust wasels doon" and found the below, posted on RTG in May 2013:

 

well we rode wor luck at teymes thats for shuuwa, but we were very unlucky to concede seven goals thats for shuuwa. Am gowna teyke this on the chin, 'av been knocked down many teymes in football and picked maself up each teyme, wa gowna dust worselves down and roll wor sleeves up and lick wor wounds and pull wor socks up and dust worselves down agen

 

Absolute carbon copy to 2021. Unreal.

How can a person that played 309 times for Alex Fergusons Manchester United watch the style of football Newcastle play and say its acceptable for a top 20 team in one of the strongest leagues in the world

He’s looking at a 9-figure loss of Bruce stays with in place.

 

‘Good businessman’ though...

He paid £4m to get him, fuck him if he's got to spend £10m+ to sack the useless fuckwit.

 

He let Rafa walk away and it was a conscious decision to go and get Bruce. Shit comes home to roost. You get what you pay for.

:lol: Exactly the fucking same. No doubt there'll be identical quotes you could dig up from Sunderland etc.

 

Worth remembering, Dean Smith, a manager who had only managed Walsall and Brentford took over from him, with the squad he had in that league, won 11 matches in a row, and took us from the arse end of the table to play off victory (including a semi final against Albion, a fixture Bruce would have bottled)  and promotion

 

I remember the match against Preston, which we drew 3-3, and Glen Whelan missed a 94th minute penalty - genuinely not joking, pretty much every one of us was hoping Whelan would miss because it would have finished Bruce off, and it did.

 

An entirely unremarkable player who is remembered with utter fondness by our fans because he was the person who knocked the last nail into the Bruce coffin.
