He paid £4m to get him, f*** him if he's got to spend £10m+ to sack the useless fuckwit.

 

He let Rafa walk away and it was a conscious decision to go and get Bruce. s*** comes home to roost. You get what you pay for.

 

It still bewilders me that the job of football manager lets the incumbent fail horrendously, be utterly incompetent, resulting in getting sacked and yet still get compensation at the end of it.

 

Also, on the point of Rafa, I can't help but wonder why Fatty didn't just give Rafa the money he spent on bringing Bruce to the club, along with the transfer money that Bruce inevitably wasted, he must have know he'd be releasing the funds that ended up being spent. The mind boggles.

Imagine how toxic the ground would be right now if fans were allowed in. I don’t think it’s the same as Pardew where a fairly significant portion still wanted him there, or with Mcclaren who was a good bloke but just

not up to the job. I don’t know any Newcastle fan that likes this bloke or rates him as a good manager.

 

It really wouldn't be. It was full of sheep before pandemic. This is what the go to the game regardless crew had asked for and got what they deserve so can't complain really

 

There'd be 40,000 suckers sitting in silence apart from a full time beeeew and blaming everyone but Geordie Hero Brewcie.

ashley admitted it himself. he found rafa to be ungrateful, whingeing, and never satisfied.

"it was always something else with rafa" is one of his quotes. cunt. fancy always wanting to improve?

 

It infuriated Ashley that Rafa wouldn't sign off on the Joelinton deal.  He expected Rafa to be overflowing with gratitude and instead Rafa told him it was a bad idea.

:lol: Exactly the f***ing same. No doubt there'll be identical quotes you could dig up from Sunderland etc.

 

Worth remembering, Dean Smith, a manager who had only managed Walsall and Brentford took over from him, with the squad he had in that league, won 11 matches in a row, and took us from the arse end of the table to play off victory (including a semi final against Albion, a fixture Bruce would have bottled)  and promotion

 

I remember the match against Preston, which we drew 3-3, and Glen Whelan missed a 94th minute penalty - genuinely not joking, pretty much every one of us was hoping Whelan would miss because it would have finished Bruce off, and it did.

 

An entirely unremarkable player who is remembered with utter fondness by our fans because he was the person who knocked the last nail into the Bruce coffin.

 

Brummie, I say it quite often. If Bruce is as good as the pundits suggest he is, how f**king great must Dean Smith be yet he gets a fraction of the praise from what I see. Not just because Villa are better in every way shape and form than us right now but because they literally had the same tools to work with and Smith has achieved every remit, where Bruce failed.... and had a cabbage thrown at him.

You must be as deluded as we are of course, is the only explanation.

To think Rafa knew more about football than Ashley. Who'd have thought it eh?

Definitely think now is the time to protest Bruce, initially I thought a cabbage dump at SJP but figured a bit insensitive with growing UK child poverty, definitely think there is the need for something physical and tangible though with the absence of fans at the stadium.

 

The most obvious route to me would seem to be a mass emailing organised by NUST with a stock letter (adapted to show you aren’t a bot) to be sent to NUFC, PCP and the Shields Gazette (for independent verification) simultaneously explaining our relegation concerns.

 

Once Ashley gets wind of fans contacting the consortium in huge numbers he will spook and sack Bruce in my opinion

So the media tell us that Ashley will only consider Bruce's position if, and only if, we drop into the bottom three, and that it will cost £1.5m severance pay to bin the waste of air.  It beggars belief that owners don't stipulate in the manager/head coaches contracts that they can be sacked without compensation if the club drops into the bottom three after a certain number of games have been played, or maybe they do, and that is why Bruce wont be sacked until we drop into the bottom three.

Is it just Newcastle fans whom are constantly reminded that they are wrong about their own club and should be grateful to be shite?

 

Does Gary Neville tell Southampton  that Pochettino was crap? Do our fans  tell Sheff Utd that 19th place is a dream above their station?

The ‘issue’ for Ashley is that on top of the 1.5m Bruce sacking fee, he would then have to pay out for a ‘firefighter’ manager fee on top, which would likely far exceed that 1.5m.

This never got thrown back at Ashley, no one questioned him for comment. He gave it the big one and arrogantly shit all over Rafa publicly. Yet Rafa has been unequivocally proven right with every game Joelinton plays.

Should never be forgotten and it perfectly encapsulates Ashleys reign. Almost as poignant as the "they knowingly and willing mislead fans" quote.

The start of the latest Pod on the Tyne is hilarious :lol:

 

What happened? Last time I listened it was mainly Caulkin avoiding any direct criticism of his pal Bruce tbh.

 

He's been as weak as fuck in relation to Bruce's performance by the way and so has Waugh.

 

The less said about that berk who facilitates it, the better. He's a total fucking doughnut.

One of the reasons I never really considered signing up to the Athletic. I like Caulkin, but he has always had a hard time criticising his mates, Steve Harper comes to mind.

You couldn't be anymore wrong about Caulkin and Waugh.  I suggest that you give The Athletic a read.
