ScottishMagpie Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Thought we were inundated with applications/enquiries towards end of the season when Rafa was still here and they said they were focussed on getting Rafa to sign new contract. did they not make a note of who these applicants were? surely one would have been better than bruce ffs!!

The Prophet Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Richard Keys Good luck Brucey. Delighted. It seems British coaching is making a bit of a comeback. Newcastle couldn’t have chosen any better. Yeah we’ll see about that Richard. Such a blatant WUM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 How can anyone honestly be angry about this? Everything was a step down from Rafa and therefore this was always going to happen. As if anyone in that interview was expecting anyone who'd be in any way a good appointment, no manager with any integrity whatsoever would be Newcastle manager after Rafa had failed to steer Ashley/the club in the right direction. Steve Bruce is that man and has always been that man. Even Allardyce has more professional pride ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paully Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Dale Johnson@DaleJohnsonESPN A thread here on Steve Bruce, what it means for Sheffield Wednesday and why, however this is spun in his and/or Newcastle's favour in the national media, his actions could have ruined the season before it's begun. #swfc #nufc Dale Johnson@DaleJohnsonESPN By leaving Wednesday, Steve Bruce has chosen to give up one of the safest jobs in the league. He had the unanimous support of the fan base, and of the club's owner. But he's a "local lad from Newcastle", so he had no choice? #swfc #nufc Dale Johnson@DaleJohnsonESPN Except Bruce has said no to Newcastle twice before, and chose to manage Sunderland. Most were well aware of his "loyalty issues." But for him to jump ship after just 18 games, after the club allowed him a month to watch England in the Windies, is going to rankle. #swfc #nufc Dale Johnson@DaleJohnsonESPN Make no mistake. Anyone who didn't realise before that Steve Bruce only looks after Steve Bruce has got a rude awakening. Many Wednesday fans have rightly been left feeling very hurt and bitter. #swfc Dale Johnson@DaleJohnsonESPN The first issue: Reports (if true) that it was Steve Bruce's agent that approached Newcastle after Rafa Benitez left, and openly courted the job. Shows pretty much zero commitment to the job in hand. #swfc Dale Johnson@DaleJohnsonESPN The second, killer issue: That Bruce said he spoke to Newcastle out of "respect". Respect for whom? Certainly not the club that had given him a route back into the game after be was sacked by Aston Villa. #swfc #nufc Dale Johnson@DaleJohnsonESPN Bruce once said: "One of the reasons why I am here is due to the quite unique band of fans. If you are honest and straight with them they will support their club." He certainly wasn't that when he resigned on Monday morning. #swfc #nufc Dale Johnson@DaleJohnsonESPN Bruce was well aware of the FFP issues at Wednesday when he joined, and while the 'soft embargo' probably went on longer than he was expecting he was still allowed to sign three new players in that period. #swfc #nufc Dale Johnson@DaleJohnsonESPN Borner, Odubajo and Harris were all training with the club before signing their contracts, so it was clear they were always coming in the door. No doubt Bruce will use the embargo as a defence for his actions. #swfc #nufc Dale Johnson@DaleJohnsonESPN But by joining Newcastle he is going to a club, headed by Mike Ashley, which by Premier League standards is effectively working under pretty similar constraints, by choice not force. #swfc #nufc Dale Johnson@DaleJohnsonESPN So Bruce will go into a similar situation on Tyneside, except most of the fans are going to resent him from the off for being "Ashley's yes man". Polar opposite to what he is leaving behind. Night and day. #swfc #nufc Dale Johnson@DaleJohnsonESPN So what if Wednesday are reportedly going to get £4m for Bruce and his coaches. Sounds like a great deal financially, and it probably is, but the knock-on effects are so much more damaging. #swfc #nufc Dale Johnson@DaleJohnsonESPN Wednesday start their German tour on Thursday and play their first Championship game in just 18 days, and now they have no manager and have lost the two main first-team coaches. It's left a huge hole. #swfc #nufc Dale Johnson@DaleJohnsonESPN Chris Hughton has reportedly turned down the club, which leaves Wednesday scratching around for a manager from somewhere, and that man has to try and put his mark on the squad both in tactics and trust in a matter of days. #swfc #nufc Dale Johnson@DaleJohnsonESPN Note "the squad" and not "his squad." Because Steve Bruce has already released and signed players based around his plans for the season. Who knows what the the new manager will think of these players. #swfc #nufc Dale Johnson@DaleJohnsonESPN Will the new manager be experienced in English football? Or will it be another left-field foreign appointment? And will whoever comes in affect the unity of the fans after it went so wrong under Luhukay? #swfc Dale Johnson@DaleJohnsonESPN Bruce's defection leads to so many questions about the direction of the club, and whether the new man will have control of transfers. It's left a gaping hole with so little time to fix, and fix well. #swfc Dale Johnson@DaleJohnsonESPN The transfer window also closes in just over three weeks, leaving the new manager limited time to assess his squad and make signings - even if there is any space in the squad for this after Bruce signed three. #swfc Dale Johnson@DaleJohnsonESPN It's worth mentioning, too, that this season's Championship does not appear as strong as in some previous years. So a club which has everything in line could challenge. With Bruce, this seemed possible. Without? Who knows. #swfc Dale Johnson@DaleJohnsonESPN It means a summer of optimism has been pretty much thrown away, leaving doubt and uncertainty. Wednesday fans have EVERY RIGHT to be furious. No matter how it is spun by Bruce's mates in the national media. #swfc Dale Johnson@DaleJohnsonESPN The only bright spot is that this has unified the chairman and the fans over his stance on Bruce (even if the club are publicly not mentioning anything about this). One thing Chansiri won't allow it to be trampled over financially. #swfc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
