nbthree3 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Repeat the same things every week and eventually it'll pay off. We're as strong as we finished the season, in reality a little less due to deadwood leaving but I'd argue negligible loss.

Now to strengthen for real It's not a negligible loss though; losing even a terrible striker piles more pressure onto the only good one we have.

toon25 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 He's more than twice as fat now, which is some fucking achievement for a manager of professional footballers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 (edited) I wonder if like Pardew, another club would be stupid enough to poach him off us? Need Vieira to fail at Palace because that Steve Parish is stupid enough to do it again. Edited August 8, 2021 by Stifler Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 If he keeps us every season he’ll be here a fucking long time. Ashley has found his dream manager. Oh, and he’s one of us remember. The only hope is we somehow tempt a buyer in that can pass an O&D test Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC Pardew used to do the opposite and tell us how wonderful the player was but there was little we could do if someone came in with a decent offer. He used to drive the players value down with his shit patter. Edited August 9, 2021 by Dr.Spaceman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 At some point this season I have a strong feeling someone decent, so a top Championship club or one of the smaller Prem ones, will come in for Jones as manager especially off the back of his work with Southgate and England this summer which was pretty well documented. And then we will be well and truly done for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you lose, same to the food bank? I just can’t see us playing well enough and winning enough games to keep the fans onside. They won’t sack him, but I can see him walking.

Guest Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 England U21 job is the one I’m wary of. He had a bad experience at Luton as manager so whether someone takes another punt or if he’s just another Cathro for example who’s a great coach, we’ll wait and see.

Yorkie Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I'm pleased the guy's getting credit that he obviously deserves, but I'm sorry but the only takeaway I'm getting from The Athletic's deep-dive into Graeme Jones is wtf is Steve Bruce doing? Sounds like his contribution is absolutely minute compared to Jones and the place was a total shitshow before he came along. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't read it but I assume that Bruce gets away with zero challenge to his credibility from the Athletic Writers? They're scared shitless of criticising him. It's hilarious the lengths the three of them go to to avoid any Bruce digs on their podcast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we'll lose plenty of games, but we'll win more than enough to keep the useless twat in a job. Willock, ASM and Wilson will score enough goals to see us safe, and keep the mug punters happy.
