Guest Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 The thing is, in terms of pure numbers I don’t think those figures were much better the two years before. The difference was we played a way to survive for 18 months of that and to stay in games. Bruce keeps saying we’ll do this, we’ll do that and we do nothing.

Awaymag Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I just don’t see him getting sacked regardless of results, I think he will be there next season when we are in the championship I wonder how many fans would turn up to St James if that was reality in 6-7 months time and fans could attend games again? If we go down this time, I think we wont come back up for a while and Ashley's £300m asset will be more like £100m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Rafa was amazing and he is my number one choice to build the club after the takeover, but I was still disappointed he couldn't save us as he is not a firefighter type manager and if they leave it much more than this weekend I'm not sure he could again. Think we averaged something like 1.3 PPG when Benitez came in. Probably would have had us 10th/11th over the course of a season and that was coming in and taking on a totally unmotivated and uninterested squad where all the best players already had their eyes on their next move. If we'd brought him in 2 games earlier we would have stayed up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWN Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Thing with McClaren as well - they actually had Benitez's people rapping on the door. Would they even have got rid of him had that not been the case? And, in the absence of a world clad manager begging then for the opportunity, if Bruce's recruitment is anything to go by, they'd have a job locating and convincing someone competent. Can't understand comments like "he sacked yet?" or "how is he still in the job?" You're several months, if not years, premature with comments like that. He's going absolutely f***ing NOWHERE, just get it out of your heads. If the takeover doesn't happen before then I'd put money on Bruce being manager on the first day of next season. Except your argument is flawed if he keeps on losing , you can’t see where he can turn this around can you? The stakes are way higher this time , I fully expect him to be sacked very soon , a lot of the bravado is wishful thinking, it should be fact ......yet I agree it would be no surprise to see him taking us down and still be in that dugout under Ashley and PIF dead and buried . Happy fuking days . Since my position changed from having absolutely no concern about us being relegated, to thinking we might be relegated, my views have become a bit unstable. So this is my caveat to the following, which I realise somewhat contradicts my first post; If he does keep losing, to the extent that we end up in the relegation zone, then I suppose you'd expect them to probably pull the trigger at some point and throw all the money in the world at someone like Pearson, like they did with Shearer. But I keep thinking, beyond all rational thought, we're somehow going to get a positive result out of nowhere and we'll be more or less back on the straight and narrow. One thing I'm certain of is they won't be dreaming of making a change at this point. I get that, going of past experience these fukers are so thick they just don’t see it mate. It feels different this time, just intuition on my behalf , I will probably be way off but realistically if he loses to Villa he can’t go on. Personally I was expecting him gone by now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Thing is, anyone at this stage is better than this fat cunt. The players have clearly stopped playing for him and he thinks sticking them in random formations on a whim is somehow going to produce results. All of the managers mentioned so far would bring back some sort of organisation and dedication to the cause. This fat mess gives them ‘optional’ training sessions for fuck sake.

Abra Dubravka Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Subscribed to Undr the Cosh and not once has Brucie come up... They've had plenty of middle league plodders on, talkling s**** about their average careeers, but never yet hear scone against Wor Steve! Barely a mentioned. Geoff Horsfield talking about Brucie coming in and making them do fitness doggies than Man U did, and Dugarry... Don't listen to the Chris Kirkland episode then....

TRon Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Not really that arsed if he gets sacked at this point. We could fluke our way to safety this season, and if the PIF takeover goes through I would rather wait for a first choice manager to walk through the door. We could hire a short term manager to the end of the season but I'm not exactly inspired by the suggestions put forward so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of those players are playing for him. It's different to the start of the season. We barely look like scoring and we know that we're going to need 2 goals per game to get a point.

geordie john Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 As much as I despise this guy, he's perfectly capable of (somehow) getting a couple of wins and draws that would make us safe. Not through his own skills (he doesn't have any other than being good at being a cunt) but by the collective effort of a player led determination not to get relegated. We've actually got - in the hands of a half decent manager - a half decent squad. Ashley is not going to sack him when there's 20 games left. When there are 6 or so and if we are in the bottom three, then he might, but not before. The list of possible replacements is truly grim, but a couple of them are capable of doing a late rescue job if it came to it. In my humble opinion, for what that's worth!

St. Maximin Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Really expected better from Neville, but as annoying as the ignorant and lazy pundits are, when you look at our midfield and the fact ASM has been missing a while, we should really be in a relegation battle under most managers. I mean Matty Longstaff is deemed a first choice starter currently. So as horrible as the football has been, most managers probably wouldn’t have done better in terms of points. Just chances are they’d have had less luck in the first quarter, while scoring more in the second quarter of the season. So I can see why it looked silly to people calling for Bruce’s head, at least until that disaster against Sheffield United. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
