TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Was listening to the Ornstein and Chapman podcast today, apparently club sources have relayed to them that they firmly believe Bruce is the ideal man to take us back up in the event of possible (probable) relegation Wonder if he can improve upon his heroic 12th placed finish last time when he was down there managing the biggest club with the largest wage budget in the division at the time.

nufcjb Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Such a shameless human being this Bruce. When's the next time is he supposed to have a PC? I'm hoping the mole leaks more stories to Craig Hope during this break. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can Bruce withstand fans throwing cabbages at him every game? Let's see if he can get away unscathed from pre-season training and games first before the Championahip season starts.

No takeover and Bruce in charge and I don’t think many will give a fuck anymore. I still maintain that crowds will absolutely crash in this event. Unless Ashley is willing to increase his free tickets to over 20k I honestly doubt you will have 30k in the stadium. I know some on here disagree, but, we will see as it’s very likely going to be tested. Edited March 23, 2021 by et tu brute Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 glad that alex exploded the myth that we've been shit due to injuries. plenty of shit games when ASM and Wilson have been playing. how many has Wilson cored in his last 10 games? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley and Barnes on the absolute fucking windup there. Absolutely nobody could think that a shit manager who doesn’t even want to be here is ‘the best man’.

ScottishMagpie Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 How the fuck can 'club sources' think that? If my memory serves me correctly, to get promoted from the championship is all about the accumulation of points isn't it? To accumulate points you have to win games? To win games you have to attack the opposition and score goals? Where the fuck has this cabbage faced kunt displayed that he can get 'his' team to do any of that? We couldn't even beat Brentford's reserves for fuck sake!! To be top in the championship you have to have momentum, be on a roll like Norwich have been. The only fucking rolls this wanker knows is the bacon variety. FUCK OFF!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 It’ll be another step lower than the lowest recent number, seems inevitable. If we were giving away 10k tickets, we might need to give away 20k. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a more or less full starting eleven albeit not entirely fit, but what's the difference? (Darlow, Manquillo, Yedlin, Lascelles, Lejeune, Murphy, Hayden, S.

Consortium of one Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I heard Bruce is just finishing his latest novel, Keeper! It's about a down-on-his-luck head coach who tries to cash in on one last gig but mysteriously disappears just as he's about to take his club down after refusing to resign...

Cookie1892 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I want to go because i want to abuse him in person, ive been denied that opportunity because of covid so if he is still here when they let us back in im going and hopefully thousands of others do too.

Don't really know why anyone is expecting our fanbase to change, never will. I will bet that the numbers of these self-styled "superfans" will currently be no more that 20,000. People are in for a shock how low the crowds will be if NUFC are mid-table or worse in the Championship. Also, let's not forget that the vast majority of this lot will not have witnessed NUFC do anything worse than finish top of the Championship. A year or two truly in the wilderness will sharp have loads of them jumping ship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I can 100% see them sticking with Bruce if/when we get relegated. I think it was someone like Caulkin or Waugh touched on it a few weeks back. They’ll think he’s the ‘right man’ for that division. As he has experience of being a shit manager at that level, as well as the Prem. Plus he got a few promotions and close calls over the years. Oh and he’s cheap and they don’t want to pay him compo.

He's not, and if those two say that, they're talking absolute shite. Doesn't surprise me though as I just don't get the love in with Caulkin by some on here and Waugh is just a junior Ryder.
