Wallsendmag Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Yep - what a joke In other words he's a yes man grateful to be in a job, deep down he knows he shouldn't be in, same as Pardew, Carver, and McClaren. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 It does sound like he's considering a change though. I do think Villa and Leeds will do the trick, because I'm anticipating not just losses, but extraordinarily bad ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nbthree3 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 "Yet every time with Rafa it was impossible – there was always another thing, and the next thing, and the next thing. He asked for a 50 per cent pay increase and I think he did that because he knew it couldn’t work. And if we had agreed to that, I think it would have been something else." That Daily Mail interview in the summer of 2019 when Rafa left, reminder. No wonder he's happy to have someone who's just grateful to be here / also Rafa had every right to leave after his ambitions obviously weren't being met since his contract was expiring and I don't blame him at all for it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collage Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Well, ”deep down” maybe he doesn’t want relegation either. Of course he doesn’t want to sack SB as he’s the perfect Ashley yes man, everybody knows that. But if this rot goes on he may need to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 just find it odd that he's trying to sell this club, spending millions on a legal challenge, and all the while employing a moron to manage the team and risk a sale for say 300m +/- or 0m.

RS Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 just find it odd that he's trying to sell this club, spending millions on a legal challenge, and all the while employing a moron to manage the team and risk a sale for say 300m +/- or 0m. He’s got nowhere left to turn. 10 managers fucked him off before this fat, desperate buffoon got the call. I honestly think post Rafa no decent manager would risk their reputation coming here.

Interpolic Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 For anyone with a shred of integrity it would be humiliating that the only reason your boss keeps you on is that you never kick a fuss up about anything.

Wolfcastle Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/steve-bruce-son-newcastle-united-19675601.amp?__twitter_impression=true Those difficult fixtures included the easiest possible fixture any team could ask for in the league this season and the performance was horrendous. And Sheffield United is pretty much the game being he's being most judged on - which is so favourable to Bruce that the next best thing would be to always praise him regardless. We've played everybody this season. Throw in lower league Blackburn, Newport and Brentford and we've been horrible to watch in all of them, second best in nearly all of them and massively second best on more regular basis than any team should accept. We've gone backwards in every measure and are now noted for as being the most horrific team to watch. Its not those selective games he's being judged on but I take it that's the new mantra now that the 'better than Rafa' one has vanished without mention.

alexf Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Why is it always worded that Ashley would have to fork out if he were to sack Bruce. I swear I never hear it insinuated any other clubs owners fork out there own personal wealth to sack someone. Same with when we buy players etc. It's always Ashley dug into his pockets and we should be grateful etc. Correct me if I'm wrong but all of these things almost always show up in the club accounts. The only time it's come from Ashley is when he loaned us money for relegation? (forgetting it was his own mismanagement that caused it both times) Even then it's always owed back to him and not a free gift. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
