Wolfcastle Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Retro Bruce c*ntery Just seen Bruce score a penalty in a shoot-out against us at the Ibrox tournament in 94 pre-season. Small gathering of Man United fans in the lower tier just to the right of the goal. Larger gathering of Newcastle fans in the top tier. Wor Brucie decides to make a gesture to the Newcastle fans and not even acknowledge his own. Perhaps the first recorded incident of Bruce being faced with the chance to take the high road or be a c**t and taking the c**t option with aplomb. Tried to post it to no avail, if anyone's got a copy of it, may be worth checking out, fetching up for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 When he had a massive tantrum that our PA guy played Daydream Believer after we beat Sunderland and said he'd lined up a song to be played if they beat us in the reverse fixture (which of course didn't happen) did we ever find out what the song was?

Going by Ashley/Charnley form, his contract will expire and he'll just not hear from them again....will spend the whole summer waiting by the phone till Sky announces that Alan Curbishley has accepted the Newcastle role Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 I'd say he's more than happy to play a bit part role behind the scenes and then take the credit for others work, like he's doing now. I don't really have a massive problem with that, Alex Ferguson (I'm not directly comparing them before anyone starts) was a delegator, they went through several different evolutions in play depending on who was his assistant manager. Nobody ever really questioned his input, so what I mean by that is, it's not an unheard of situation to be the figurehead of a setup where others are doing the donkey work. Even Rafa suffered a bit when Cathro left. I guess what am trying to say is that I can live with Bruce for another season if there's going to be a takeover at some stage as it'll be Jones doing the work for the most part.

Ferguson had some really good coaches which did most of the leg work, but none of them turned out to be consistently great managers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was in a prime spot to learn from one of the best but he did what he thought he had to and it hasn't really worked out for whatever reason.
