WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 He's been a turgid manager for 20 years and has openly stated of his unwillingness to learn and improve ("ah dowant really do tactics"). He's 60 years old and considerably richer than any of us will ever be. He could retire and overindulge his way to an early grave - but he hasn't. He's happy to carry on picking up jobs where he can - aided by his mates in the media - and achieving fuck all in return for the millions he's paid. He's a fucking rat.

joeyt Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Remember when we'd beat teams under Rafa (like the 0-6 under QPR) he'd consistently be telling the players where they could improve and using his press conferences to keep pushing us forward. One good win and Bruce is already dampening expectations telling us we can't be playing like Man City every week Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same. We didn't really know him then and now we do. 'Better to be thought a c**t by fans but not manage their club, than to manage their club and remove all doubt" or however that phrase goes.

midds Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 "Newcastle in the last 14/15 years have been in the bottom half of the Premier League. We would all love to see Newcastle being back to signing the Alan Shearers of this world for world record fees but that just isn't going to happen. This is quite possibly the worst shite he's ever uttered in the last 22 months. The fact he's justifying his dogshit performance as manager for the last 2 seasons is bad enough, it's the implied "hey, this club's been here for ages, I'm no worse than the rest of them". The very fact he's come out and stated that the club's been in exactly the same position since Ashley's been here is damning. It's a backhanded way of saying "this is where we are, this is where we have been and this is where we will remain under this owner", he's not said it explicitly obviously but it's a tacit admittance and endorsement of the lack of ambition, hope and drive to be better than just existing in the bottom half. He's perfectly happy to be part of the team that only wants to finish bottom half - it suits him as he's proved he's incapable of top half management and it keeps him in a job and ticking over. Manager and owner are perfectly happy to maintain the (reduced) performance, one is incapable of improving and the other doesn't give enough of a fuck, they dovetail nicely and complement each others flaws and weaknesses. We'll never get the club we all want until both of them fuck clean off and are gone for good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Honestly this bloke is 10x worse than Pardew and that's some going. Even Pardew got sick of Ashley eventually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would most rather just finish 16th or 17th, or would you rather we got 6, or even 7, points from the last 3 to finish say 12th? The thought of listening to Bruce say 'ah finished 12th ya kna' makes me opt for the former. Edited May 10, 2021 by Paullow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Does anyone know if Bruce went after certain journalists when he was at Villa or anywhere else? He's so thin-skinned against Hope's criticism, it's actually pathetic I bet he's going to be talking about it all next season as well, if he's still in charge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty66 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 20 odd years as a manager, not a sniff of managing a top European or domestic club, not a single major trophy. Just hovering around like a manager with no clear identity of play or even trying to make a blueprint of his own style. A Fart bubble in the bath raises itself quicker than this frauds profile. Purely where he is because of his work as a player and "fergies captain" Thankfully a dying breed of football manager where one day, we will no longer have these types in the game. (However for some reason I feel Rooney is the next "manager" to have a career based solely on their playing career and not their actual ability as a football manager) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 He’s using our average league finish under Ashley as a way to try and dampen expectation, yet he’s not even going to achieve close to 12th by the looks of it. Arsehole. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Bruce is well in with his mates in the media, he has performed terribly this season but now he has "saved us from relegation " in the same way Rooney saved Derby by winning 1 of the last 15 games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 (edited) There’ll always be people ready to step in and Ashley will always produce cheap/free tickets to replace those though. You just have to see the number of people whinging about the ballet on social media. Like others have said, there’ll also be the element who’ve missed going to the match.

Dr Jinx Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I don’t think people are going to have the appetite to vent at him if they were all let back into the stadium for the last home game.
