He's not going anywhere until we're in the relegation zone, and even then he'll probably not go until we're more than 1 win from getting out of it.

 

Then some poor fuck will be parachuted in and asked to perform miracles again.

No emergency meeting planned

No talk of him going

No chance of walking

 

 

Wtf does he have to do before he’s gone Jesus fuck, if he survives past Monday he’s here all season.

Do people remember the Roeder taking over from Souness moment? Where instantly suddenly everything felt fresh, the dark clouds disappear, the sun was out and the team start performing again. Was helped by Shearer breaking the record in the first game ofcourse.

 

But it would be great if something similar could happen. I'm just worried the damage is done and it would take someone like Rafa who already knows alot of these ayers to save the season.

 

Anyone else and I'd have concerns that they wouldn't have enough time to stop the rot and find a system that gets us scoring but protects our inadequacies. Because this is a shit Premier league squad in general, but there are a few talents like ASM and Wilson who can save us if the right system and tactics were implemented.

 

Also badly need to strengthen the midfield before the window closes but that seems incredibly unlikely.

I think a lot of the current plight is down to lack of motivation and belief from the players. They know Bruce isn’t capable of turning this round and they’re sick of playing for him. There’s more than enough talent and ability in the squad to avoid relegation and I’m sure a new voice with new ideas would fire the players up again. That would be enough for a bounce.

Only managing a total of 10 shots on target across 5 games, loosing 4, whilst playing arguably the worst premiership team ever and never having any control of possession in a single game all season should be enough to scare even the dumbest MD/Owner.....Newcastle... "Hold my beer"

His sacking is inevitable. I really wish that the delay was due to formalities regarding getting a decent manager in. The reality is charnley and Ashley are sitting with their thumbs up their arses wondering what to do next.

Ashley doesn't want to pay money to get rid of him and he doesn't want to bring someone in while the transfer window is open. It'll be at least 2 games until he is gone, we could be in freefall in the bottom 3 at that point and the uninspiring replacement won't have the cojones to inject any fight into an already defeated forlorn squad.

Do have to wonder what the people that keep hiring the Bruce's, Pulis, Allardyces of the world see that millions of football fans cant.

 

Every fan knows Allardyce will bore the hell out them, every fan knows Pulis will play 4 beast centre backs and rely on someone who can throw a football the length of the pitch, every fan knows Bruce will only take a team backwards and jump ship as soon as a better job comes along....

 

Unfortunately he's now in the best job he could hope to get, is making a royal balls up of it, so no better opportunity is likely

Managers like Allardyce and Pulis have an appeal within a remit, at least to owners, with the remit being it's almost certain a relegation threatened club will be less likely to go down.

 

Bruce doesn't fall into that category at all though. He has no notable talents in any department and it's been proven over the decades of experience he keeps referring to.

He’s still here then :tickedoff:

 

I forgot today was Sunday. Give it another couple of days then he's gone. Let's say Wednesday.

 

For someone who is so cynical about the takeover still being in the wings, I'm surprised you are so confident Ashley will pull the plug on Bruce. From everything we know about the owner he'll never sack a manager who toes the line and follows the script. As long as we are more than 3 points ahead of the relegation spots Ashley will keep praying his slave will somehow pull off a result to ease the pressure.

Mate, this is 100% me trying to kid myself that it's going to happen. I know full well he's here for the long-run but I reckon I can convince myself there is still hope just by typing it :lol:

 

Never hated a person so much, including Pardew/Souness/Carver
