RS Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Must be soul destroying for the players. The boss basically saying they’re shit and nowhere near competing in this league, despite him being very good, and that’s without being prompted to say that by the interviewer. Worst manager we’ve had based on football. And that’s ever by the way. Charlton was hounded out because of his style of play, but was based on tactics. Ardilles actually played nice football. Pardew was a shithouse who hit lucky with players. This man is fucking 11th choice horrendous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnonel Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I would love it if a reporter asked: "Steve, if you could push a button and be safe in the league for eternity - without ever playing football - would you do it?" There is more to all this than just scraping points... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pardew was a shithouse who hit lucky with players. This man is f***ing 11th choice horrendous. Ardilles was great with the kids and brought loads through he played a Christmas tree formation which was great to watch but the club was not ready for him, it was rumoured that they asked him to run an academy under Sir John Halls grand plan of a Sporting club but it never came off. Bruce is just a lucky oaf and if we dont go down this season we are nailed on next. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was 1st choice man, that's why he'll still be here next year as long as we avoid relegation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I think I can cope with anyone else except Bruce right now managing our club. There is not a single iota related to him that I can genuinely praise or like him for. Don't mind if he isn't sacked. Just want to see him squirm when there is even the slightest amount of mockery towards him when fans are back in. Won't be pleasant for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Ashley is responsible for Bruce being here. Getting angry at the symptom and not the cause is pointless in my opinion. We've had nearly 15 years of this shit. If Ashley is here another 15 you can guarantee he will appoint more of the same. The worst is probably yet to come.

huss9 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 bruce needs sacking - the players seem to have no idea what the system is and what the tactics are. persisting with joelinton... miggy on the wing.... shelvey standing motionless deep in his own half looking for a long ball to play....442....bruce needs out, now. at least a new manager would hopefully inject some enthusiasm into the squad. most of the players look miserable and clueless.

That desperate to have a go at a ‘bigger’ club he’d agree to anything, including not having a say in which players come and go. You also have to look at Ashley's hiring record. Pardew, Hughton, Kinnear, Carver, McClaren...all these were given the job for a reason, not because they were 11th choice. The only exceptions to this hiring policy were Keegan and Rafa and they ended up walking out once they realised they had been conned. This 11th choice is another part of the con, you could offer the job to Jurgen Klopp and offer him a 24k salary and he'd tell you to fuck off. Then of course sooner or later you'd arrive at your "11th choice" and hey presto Steve Bruce walks through the door! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackyboy Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Big Sam was never offered the job here. It was his agent who asked Sam if he'd be interested and he said no.

huss9 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 more bullshit from ryder. "During the game against Fulham, the social media argument that Bruce is not being questioned hard enough by the media reappeared after an awful first half. The theory is well-rehearsed by tweeters, only it's complete nonsense. Questions about tactics, awful stats and Newcastle's league position HAVE all been delivered via Zoom conferences this season and some Press conferences have been heated as Bruce defended his corner. Whether fans like Bruce's answers or not is another matter entirely." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
