LV Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 It’s an absolute shitshow this. I’m gutted how this has all turned out. Ashley has done an absolute number on us and loads are still buying season tickets and singing Bruce’s name. Steve. Bruce. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate End Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Is there any other club that goes on like this ffs? It's not like he's even some local club legend, he was born down the road but still managed the mackems and slagged NUFC off to fuck in the meantime. Is this what people think it takes to be loved at Newcastle United, a fucking birth certificate? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Think I hate him more than Pardew. Nah, it'll never get that bad imo. IIRC you’re not from up here but my reasons are entirely based him on being a local bloke just like he appropriates himself being my equivalent. I hated Pardew, as much as anyone, absolutely fucking despised him but he had no investment in the club or city, he was getting paid to do a job way above his station and was forever grateful. There was no alleged emotional attachment. That makes it way easier for what he did and whilst I don’t agree with anything he did it’s somewhat understandable he was happy to go along with it, particularly given his narcissism. Bruce is doing the same role but he proclaims to be a fan, a man of the city, a man of the region. He’s working for a bloke and praising him for running all three into the ground, it’s absolutely shameless. He knows this and he knows what he’s doing, we’ve seen all his quotes about this kind of thing before. He has as much respect for himself as I have for him. He is a patsy hungry for money and adoration. An embarrassment. But more importantly an embarrassment to my club, my city, my region that’s he claims to be part of. That hurts more than someone outside for me. (And yes I know he’s a symptom not the main problem) God, I hate what a shit show this club has become and what it stands for (yes, there are sparks of good occasionally). It kills me. It’s tiresome. It’s not what being a supporter is about. I want to be proud of my club, my city. One affects the other and one has little to be proud of at the moment.

Aye that's something I'll not understand properly to be fair I'm going more on how Pardew made me feel, i wanted us to lose because of him, the blaming of players like Hatem, blaming fans and while as you said I'm not from Newcastle, slating off the area as not as upper class as Southampton. The excuses, the Notting Hill Carnival ffs science, spies, the list goes on as we all know. Up to this point i can only go on what's gone before, Bruce isn't for me anywhere near the hatred levels Pardew had me at, but as you said the local connection gives you a much better take on it from that point of view.

mrmojorisin75 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 He’ll never be as bad as Pardew for me. Pardew’s an absolute w***** of the highest order. Bruce is just a washed up desperate chancer I really don't know like, from what Brummie has been saying he's got all the same shit patter as Pardew and will throw any cunt under a bus to excuse himself. Couple that with the stuff disco mentions and it'll likely be close. I suspect the difference will be Bruce will be more dispensible to them than Pardew was, that was a major part of the Pardew issue - if Palace hadn't have come along he'd still be here more than likely.

Smiling the whole time he says it. It’s just a bit of shit banter with the interviewer. Nothing more. Nothing less. Overreactions are one of the foundations of this forum though.

Darth Crooks Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 If it was isolated it wouldn’t be but it’s like many of the messages the club put out - cynical and repeated.

Guest poor Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 it all boils down to his willingness to come and work for ashley at this current time. especially in the manner it came about. people cant be surprised that hes going to be hounded about it. he isnt helping himself at all though and those in the give him a chance camp will be fed up soon enough too. the bloke is a fat gobshite just like his boss Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bloke has talked about being a Geordie as if it means a damn the moment he arrived and hadn’t stopped. Because like it or not, it does mean something to a lot of fans (especially older generations). It’s literally the only card he’s got to play coming into the job after Rafa. Of course he’s going to play that card. And there’s nothing really wrong with playing that card if it helps unite some of the fan base. But hey, as you know, I’m very much in the give him a chance camp. I know he shouldn’t be here, I know he’s never shown anything to suggest he is capable of managing us... but he’s here now and what’s the fucking point in whinging at everything he says...it’s not going to change anything. Just give him 10-15 games...see how he gets on. You never know...we might actually do well. Stranger things have happened in football. I’m still angry about the whole Rafa situation and the lack of takeover. But I’m trying to remain positive... because ultimately life’s too short to be so negative all the time. It really is.
