KaKa Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Good friend of mine is a huge Arsenal fan and has been despondent about how Edu and Arteta are managing things over there. I directed him to that Craig Hope article and the guy could not believe what he was reading. Just kept saying surely they'll sack Bruce. He's convinced with an article like that coming out, that Bruce is going to be sacked any second now Kept trying to explain that this is Mike Ashley we are talking about. An announcement of a new six year contract is probably more likely than him getting sacked at this moment in time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

huss9 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 so not only did the fat cunt go on holiday 3 games into the season but he never even told the players, nor did he delegate anything to his coaching staff to put in place with regards to training and tactics??? surely jones must have known and asked what he wanted them to focus on in trianing while he was away. the whole lot are a joke.

I doubt that's possible unless they're prepared for a court case. Which I guess they might be if they're annoyed enough. Personally I'm worried that they're just prepared to let Bruce suffer on as long as he can take it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A source said: ‘The players, as a group, are tight. They have been together a lot of years. ‘They are good professionals and are determined to turn things around, despite issues with the manager. That could end up keeping him in a job.’ Just this week, the squad turned up expecting to train on Tuesday morning, only for Bruce to call a meeting during which he addressed running statistics. However, some players were not impressed when he cited other teams in the bottom half of the table as good examples. A source said: ‘The lads couldn’t believe it. They were like, “What is he talking about?” It did not go down well with some.’ For balance, some players felt Bruce spoke the truth. A feisty training session followed — two senior stars were told to calm down by Bruce — and there was a bad-tempered showdown between assistant manager Graeme Jones and striker Dwight Gayle, with captain Jamaal Lascelles forced to step in. A source said: ‘There was a head-to-head after a disagreement. Jones said, “It’s always about you, Gayley”. Dwight wasn’t having it and said, “It’s been all about you since you’ve been with England”. ‘This can happen between players, but when management are involved it’s never a good sign. There are some p***ed off players.’ Jones was a popular and much-needed addition last season, but some are now wondering why he has not intervened and changed a 3-5-2 system they feel uses too many players out of position. There was also a heated inquest in the dressing room following Saturday’s 4-1 defeat at Manchester United, with Bruce telling midfielder Isaac Hayden — playing at centre back — that he should have done more to prevent Cristiano Ronaldo running off him to score his second goal. A source said: ‘Isaac was like, “He’s the fastest player in the country”. He also made the point he’s not a defender. The lads thought the manager’s comments were unfair.’ On top of that, Sportsmail has been told there is resentment at the lack of structure in the training schedule, much like the concerns raised last season over what some felt were excessive days off, leading to an internal investigation. Bruce spent four nights in Portugal during the international break and returned last Monday. Sportsmail understands some players reported for training that day expecting a morning session, only to be told Bruce was not arriving back from holiday until the afternoon. The club say this was always the plan. But a source said: ‘You’ve got players waiting hours at the training ground and some staff didn’t even know what was going on. They also turned up at training the previous Thursday only to be told Bruce had gone on holiday. They just did a gym session. They weren’t impressed. ‘Then on Monday of this week they did not train until tea-time. Players like structure, routine. But they feel like the team’s schedule is designed to suit the manager, not them.’ Some also noted a press report this week that goalkeeper Freddie Woodman would be dropped for Friday’s game. The players know which journalists are close to Bruce and some suspected this had come from the manager before he had told them, much like they did last season when a report stating Karl Darlow would be dropped caused huge irritation behind the scenes. Can someone print out 50K copies of this and hand them out before the game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt we’ll have Clinton Morrison and Simon Jordan telling us Steve Bruce has his sides well drilled and knows how to set up a team. They will all rally around their favourite PFM with the mantra that he’s a ‘results manager’ and kept us in the division. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ9 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Even with the holiday stuff taken out of the equation, do the players not have like an app or a copy of their training schedule for the season? It’s like a bunch of fucking kids starting secondary school man. “Miss, I don’t know what lesson I have”, “Miss, I’ve lost my timetable”, “Miss, Matty said we have assembly now”… Honestly we are so shit man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackyboy Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Reading the DM article it seems that Jones has no influence over the way the team set up, or more likely that Bruce doesn't want to listen because with all of his experience he knows best.
