jackyboy Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I noticed once against West Ham where Jones came up to the side of Bruce and was talking to him, probably offering his opinion or advice. Bruce didn't quite turn his back but he certainly showed no interest in what Jones had to say and therein lies the problem. When Jones arrived he said "All I can do is offer my opinion, it is up to the manager wether he listens or not" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once it looked like we were safe he went back to his three at the back system and I'm pretty sure he started tuning Jones out, and now unsurprisingly we look just as bad as ever.

My worry is we could have like 4 points from 10 games before he is sacked and we are then in big trouble. Sacked Not a chance he is going anywhere. Ashley doesn’t sack managers.

Ashley only acts if we spend too much time in the bottom 3, if we start to get cut adrift then he will act. If we're bouncing round the bottom but only dipping in and out of the bottom 3 then he'll persevere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're bouncing round the bottom but only dipping in and out of the bottom 3 then he'll persevere. When has he ever done that though? The only manager he has sacked while we’ve been in/near the bottom three was McClaren. That only happened because Rafa approached us. If Rafa didn’t approach us, McClaren would’ve stayed in charge. Carver wasn’t sacked despite hurtling us towards the drop. He took a 50/50 gamble with him on the final day. Bruce wasn’t sacked last season despite massive warning signs and possibilities of relegation. Pardew survived multiple shaky moments and eventually only left of his own accord. Hughton was sacked because of Ashley’s desire to bring Pardew in due to his dodgy dealings. Allardyce was only sacked because he wasn’t Ashley’s choice to begin with.

mrmojorisin75 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 You can say what you like about Ashley not sacking managers but if he goes on an insane losing run in the first 10 games I reckon he'll be away one way or another. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny that, that's just what I was thinking this morning about him and I don't think I've realised that's what I've disliked about him until just now. That's the undercurrent he can't hide when he speaks, there's an arrogance there that's not concealed because he's not smart enough to do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I struggle with some of the fans comprehension around this mans operating philosophy. He simply doesn’t give a shit about this club, the support or the area. it’s a money spinner to him. No more than that. He’s took his (tiny) little book of 1970’s coaching skills (no pencil notes in the margins) around every shit club he’s been to and had the exact same results and did exactly the same press conferences. And yet he’s still not sussed by the majority! 50,000 at the first game says it all: Desperate people who’ll accept anything NUFC. It’s a tragedy man.

According to Celtic fans I work with he was going there but it fell apart due to him wanting a load of coaches or something and Celtic refusing to give him the lot.
