I don’t have any sympathy for Bruce, he willingly walked into this role as Ashley’s fall guy. He was warned exactly what would happen. If anything I think Bruce wholly underestimated the size of this job and the pressures associated with the role. From the outset he seemed surprised by the level of scrutiny he was under from fans and the media alike. He’s finished here now; he’s already on borrowed time.

McClaren accused Craig Hope, who covers the club for the Daily Mail, of having an agenda against the club. "Whatever that journalist writes, I'm afraid I don't read it," the under pressure Magpies' boss said.

 

"That journalist," was in attendance and wasn't prepared to let McClaren make the claims about, saying: "Steve, don’t you dare accuse me of having an agenda. You're second bottom in the league. I'm not the problem."

 

 

 

McClaren was gone within 10 days.

Craig Hope's the journo Bruce had the bust up with last year isn't he?

 

Yeah. Said it before on here but I’ve played five a side with him on a Wednesday a fair few times he’s my cousin’s mate. He’s sound and a fan, good to have him on our side. Class player too

 

Good to hear. Shame he writes for the Mail. But I enjoy how harsh and honest he is in comparison to most journos covering NUFC.

 

The famous “you calling me a liar, Craig” bust up.

This misnomer about playing ‘attacking football’ just gives fuel to sections of the media that flag wave for the fat cunt by setting up comparisons with Rafa.

 

It’s got more to do with the utterly directionless, clueless, tactical ineptitude that’s marked every single game of Bruce’s time here.

Met Craig Hope several times when TF had those press nights at the Irish Centre - cracking lad - ended up having a late one with him after one of those occasions!

 

He's a cracking NUFC journo and has called out Bruce from virtually day one!

He used to write for the main site on here and although I’ve never met him I’ve communicated with him many a time and he comes across as a great fella and my brother in law knows him personally from his time working at NUFC where I believe Hope worked too, and says he’s a top lad and an avid and passionate Toon fan. He’s easily a decent journo too.
