Ben Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Bruce has been shafted here because I have just looked at the records and those three goals counted even after he made the subs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 "Club officials also see some of the criticism on Bruce as too harsh in recent weeks and as a result reduced his media duties to just rights holders at his Press conference ahead of the Leeds game." Tragic They obviously don't watch the games if they think the criticism is harsh. If anything it's been massively restrained. Lord help him if a crowd ever gets into the ground to watch....could see him curled in to a ball in a corner rocking back and forth saying over and over 'it's getting better', its getting better' Beyond feeble from the club That's the only thing that would tempt me back, at the minute.

nufcjb Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I'm actually even thinking of drawing up a bingo game made up of his of his excuses and lies of what he will say whenever he is no longer managing us. He'll reflect on his time here with pride and bragging about his achievements but will have a long list of excuses ready to say why it failed and was difficult. Hope he never has the chance to do so though. Just move to Pluto or somewhere when he's done here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 The press are just allowing him to make shit up. Nobody questioning the logic of bringing in coaches because he's utterly incapable of doing the job himself. Doesn't Mike support Chelsea btw? Fat Frank IN.

Shearergol Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I agree with them, it's been far too harsh. Did they not see that we got a few crosses in against Villa? Expectations are too high at Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ankles Bennett Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I reckon Bruce is being undermined by the club to try and force a resignation. Once Jones is settled in they will put Bruce on gardening leave and promote Jones to head coach. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marki Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I reckon it’s a total stand off between him and the club. He wants to get sacked, couldn’t be bothered even trying to repair the mess he’s been allowed to create. But the club refuse to pay his compensation. They have no idea how to get around it. And in fairness, he’s in the driving seat in that dispute. He’ll be getting paid either way. should be dismissed for dereliction of duty , its madness him walking away with wad of money for the mess he,s created Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

marki Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 They are looking to undermine bruce imo with these coaching changes. Yup and hope he buggers off.

gjohnson Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 A sad bit of trivia.... Through his playing career, Bruce has a better strike ratio (>1 in10) than all of our attacking players bar Wilson. He should be at least be able to explain to them how to head the ball at goal from a corner at least. S**t...got to have a corner first.

We've had 100% manager no coaching. maybe it's time to try it the other way round.

TwoForJoy Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 They had to give 10,000 tickets away in Bruce's first half-season. How many will it be now after 18 months of Bruceball? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they'd actually watched a single game this season at all they should be asking the questions...being battered once can be excused but being second best in every for more than a year game regardless of result should be raising eyebrows. When was the last time we actually controlled a game and looked deserving winners? Even when the result is good the other team is almost always better statswise Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 If he was a foreign manager the press would describe this as being a prima donna, a petulant diva. But luckily he's a PFM, so he can behave like a chubby toddler and it's OK. Is Chris Hope the journalist that takes no shit and confronted both Bruce and McClaren?

Renrub Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 The fact the club have banned certain parts of the press to protect Bruce suggests he is going nowhere. Also makes a mockery of the idea that Jones is being hired to undermine and push him out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 No wins in ten and we're in a hole. Steve Bruce turns fans interest cold.
