Toon No9 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Get rid of Bruce now! Put Greame Jones as a caretaker and see how that turns out. Hopefully he can get us a few wins between now and January. Then hopefully the takeover go through and the new owners can pick a new manager. A few ifs, buts and maybes, but here's hoping...!

nbthree3 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 "Bruce was born in Corbridge, Northumberland, on New Year’s Eve 1960, but his family lived in Daisy Hill, near the Wallsend shipyards, their house backing on to a playing field. What he recalls as a child is “everything revolving around sport. I was never going to be an academic. When I wasn’t playing football, I lived for basketball or the rugby team. Cricket, too.” At Benfield School, a huge comprehensive that had recently opened, John Watson and Bob Hamil were two of Bruce’s PE teachers. “Aside from my mam and dad, they were the first people who really set me on this path. They ran the department. They were the start of football.” Watson went on to become a referee in the Football League." https://theathletic.com/2051951/2020/09/09/steve-bruce-interview-newcastle-united-manager-career/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 So when he's back I guess he'll be asked repeatedly and mercilessly about the fact 90% of trust members (or whatever it was) want him to resign and why he isn't right. Right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't quit a job no matter how sh=* i was at it with a seven figure sum at stake...all i'd have to do is not read the papers, news, social media.

The chronicle don't like to take ownership of criticism, they're too scared of losing their access. Every question or statement is posed as fan view, the fans think this, the fans are asking that, the fans have had enough. At no time have they ever just said "This isn't good enough" by any metric, with any solid evidence, its veiled attacks and we're their shield of plausible denyability.

Ben Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I bet Bruce can almost smell his payoff right now. " I kept them in the league under difficult circumstances, I'm a Geordie, I'm great, I'll hold know grudges but the negativity was disappointing" Ps. " you won't see me for dust, I'll never darken the doors of the North East again." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely Graham Jones is put in charge as caretaker, results improve just because of the endorphin rush the players get from not being told what to do by Steve Bruce any more, it's implied the fans want him given a chance based on him proving himself and he's our manager now.
