TRon Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I'm ambivalent about him really but never watch his interviews. He's just uninspiring and some of his Rafa digs were embarrassing. He's done ok this year but with a healthy slice of good fortune. We wouldn't be getting taken over if we were in the relegation zone, so I'm happy to offer him some form of goodwill for that. If he stays for whatever reason, I'll be very disappointed. He's not a good manager, we all know this. The personal abuse is pointless but whatever. I don't care how he treated Sheffield Weds, and I suspect most people don't but it's just a convenient stick. Selectively showing his attacking stats whilst neglecting our defensive stats are again, convenient. But whatever, it's football and brings out the worst in people. Hopefully in a year we'll have forgotten he was ever here and I can't imagine he'll have a string of clubs lining him up. Well he should do really, considering the amount of vocal support he gets from football pundits. If you think he deserves credit for the job he's done, then you are really not giving him it by saying that there won't be many clubs looking to hire him. If they don't then they clearly think he's shit, which is all his critics have ever argued in the first place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt any of them would give him a job if they ran a club - it's just bigging up mates etc. And I said goodwill not credit. He has done ok, but there was a lot of luck and riding Rafa's coat-tails. You could say the best thing about him this season was that he wasn't shit enough to totally undo all of Rafa's work. I don't want him to have the opportunity to do that!

mighty__mag Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Got a daft question for all. If we beat Man City and went on to win the cup, what would be fans thoughts on Steve Bruce? Wouldn't he surely go down as our most prestigious manager in recent history considering our lack of winning anything in terms of recognisable trophies. If he achieves anything from 10th to 13th in the Prem (which looks a possibility) it's around our average position in terms of managers before him that have kept us up. And could the new owners sack a man who just won our first proper silverware in decades? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to think I could feel some joy but I've just been beaten into such a sense of loathing towards the whole set-up, particularly with what happened last summer, that I don't know whether or not I'm too far gone.

If Bruce wins us the FA cup I will happily admit I was wrong and declare him to be a living legend Newcastle manager. Because that is in fact what he would effectively be. Is that fair enough?

I'm not trying to catch anyone out here I did not want Steve Bruce here, I was astonished we payed Sheffield Wednesday to bring him here, albeit with a free player loan as a bargaining chip in terms of Jacob Murphy. But has he not pulled of the raggiest results of any manager in history, I only see today's opponents City as the biggest hurdle, the rest are beatable if we apply the right attitude and get the (luck) we/he keeps getting.
