TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I think Chris Waugh is actually a canny writer and produces a lot of interesting content on The Athletic, but he's just not particularly engaging in interviews / podcasts etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way he just sits back and watches the club burn under that fat mess Bruce and doesn’t say a word about him. We need the likes of Caulkin to be representing the fans and the club, which he used to always do. Craig Hope for me, the only one with the balls to tell the truth for months now. Baldy Ryder and the Bradford City fan are finally starting to twig. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldy Ryder and the Bradford City fan are finally starting to twig. I’ve lost a lot of respect for Caulkin over this season, as mentioned he is close with Bruce, enough to just ring him out of the blue for a chat which he mentioned in a podcast last summer. He also got taken in by Staveley and her crew, painting a picture that all was rosy when it was anything but. I think maybe he’s just stepped back from the club a bit, professionally that is. Being the centre of attention with all things nufc probably isn’t the best thing for his career long term. Craig Hope has been spot on when it comes to the team itself. He’s never been afraid to piss the club off when it comes to telling it as it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was crossing the Coast Road when I was listening to that and with interfering with the traffic suddenly felt an option. The unnamed insider that agreed Bruce would be the best manager in the Champ they mentioned too. Fuck me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Anyone think the club is leaking the likes of Dyce and Wilder being considered just to make fans realise whomever replaces him won't be that much better and will be another clogger, even if we would gladly take both over Bruce. Not even a mention of Howe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even a mention of Howe. There’s nobody else being considered, it’s Bruce for 9 more games. Option 1) The club somehow manage to scrape staying up, arbitration should be well under way by then so by mid to late summer there might be an indication of how it’s going. I don’t think the club would bother sacking him if anything were to be imminent in that regard. Option 2) Relegation. All sorts of clauses kick in with players and management. The takeover would be pushed through and the clear out begins. Just managing to scrape staying up fills me with dread to be honest. The whole legal thing with the PL is just far too tricky and I don’t think I have it in me to still be following this for another 12+ months with the club in limbo (which it would continue to be) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Chris Waugh opines loads of time off is alright as other clubs are doing it. Whole podcast is weak as fuck as always. Mad what splashing a few pints and lunches do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Winter remembers what this club was and could easily be, the others don't want to remember that or put it down to a few years under Keegan, letting all that die just to suit Ashley's obsessive need to crush hope. A flash in the pan brighter than what Spurs have managed with their one serious title challenge since the mid 80s, but that's different. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one who hosts it is even worse than Caulkin and Waugh. As I said earlier, just cannot get away with either journalist and Caulkin is Edwards best mate, which says a lot. Each to their own though.

He’s launched his own pod now. Focussing on worthy NE folk. First one sounds good. It’s about how fake fundraisers can rip people off, discrediting charity in the process, and con them into thinking they’re contributing towards the making of a project (eg a short film) but are actually just funding a jolly instead.

Abra Dubravka Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I listen to so many podcasts, but somebody made the point that boss at Jarrow Roofing has been I charge 20 year like... Aghhh, just fuck of Steve Bruce been in game long enough cocksip interview excuses for being statistically one of of the worst ever at his job. It it doesn’t end with Bruce, he doesn’t give a toss. All the crap about supporting us is fluff. He knows this is his last gig in management, that’s why he fucked over SW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yelevats Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Craig Hope and Liam Kennedy are the best two NUfC journalists as things stand today. Caulkin has become disinterested , maybe he got burnt out by the takeover stuff and the fact he obviously is extremely close to Bruce. However as soon as George starts writing again it’ll be like Shearer when he scored 5 v Sheff Wed. Class is permanent. As for Bruce, he’ll be here until a takeover is completed which could be years and years to come. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abra Dubravka Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) Dream scenario for me... Stay up, takeover and we Adkins/Pocchetino Bruce.. That scenario suits me. Leaves all the pundits grumpy, when Steve is 8th in league in November, legitimately doing a good job, but just lost away at Swansea and been knocked out on pens in League Cup by Northampton. Board have spent season working on next man charge (Simeone), and give a brutal Chelsea Di Matteo like culling of the fat Cunt. That’ll give Alex and Jim White something to say!!

HaydnNUFC Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 My pipe dream is similar tbh, takeover happens before end of the season but with like 4 or 5 games to go and we're still out of the bottom 3 yet Bruce is sacked by the new owners anyway and Benitez, Allegri or someone or that ilk comes in, keeps us up and we kick on. The amount of Brexit PFM piss that would be boiled would be orgasmic. Nice to dream. Nowt else to do following this version of NUFC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abra Dubravka Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) Didn’t get the memo on PFM? I’ve given up Bruce being a constant anyway. There is no further criticism and I’m running out of childish names to call him... Fat bottle sucking pisswilly? Hoying shit at Bruce via Alex has clearly got it’s bite. He’s got the message fans hate him. That’s without lads in grounds. I’m past caring what division this retard has us in, I just want to be in a stadium to call him a wanker, and hopefully see a root vegetable be hoyed towards him!! Frustrating to think we’d have missed all the good throwing vegetables. Seasonally speaking like. What I wouldn’t give to slap his chubby chops with some wild garlic!

Abra Dubravka Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) Always liked Sherwood. Let’s be honest Spurs are no further on from when he left, and he was DOF before.

Abra Dubravka Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) Not sure how this is going to go down, but here’s Tim Sherwood... This is what I want from a manager who supports the club. Bruce is flat, meh. Sherwood has dead look in his eye. He knows he’s going to be sacked by Levy, but he still cares... I’d rather a Sherwood who would get same results but allow belief.. And call out players, imagine if Bruce came back, no, coward, AYE TLD watch Tim, he’s not as much of a knob as you think he is. Would love Bruce to talk like Tim.
