This might sound cold and harsh but what did he expect? He’s been in football for years how he had a cabbage thrown at him, he was roundly abused at Sunderland, who he managed. Nah I’m not having this. He was free to leave at any time: this is a very low card to play imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Totally shameless. I’d give him a tiny bit of respect if he came out and said I’m just waiting for the call and to confirm my payoff. Cheers for the monies and all the best. I’ll enjoy it from my new villa in Portugal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn’t just an absolutely fucking shit manager, he’s a self pitying, excuse making, rude and ill mannered prick. How he has got to 999 jobs in management is absolutely incredible. He’s got his pals in the media to thank for that. And of course his odious prick of a son, whose career in Football was just as pathetic as his Fatha’s in management. No mark cunt. Can’t wait to see footage of him leaving the training ground on Monday for the last time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's only 1 reason he came out with that bollocks and that's purely for the benefit of other chairmen who are thinking of sacking their current boss. He's disassociating himself from the horrendous job he's currently nearly close to finishing up here with the sole intention of picking up another gig somewhere else in the next couple of months. Seeing footage of him struggling with a big cardboard box full of his personal shit and hastily forcing it in the back of his motor before driving off into the complete abyss would be the ultimate.

huss9 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) is the abuse from us any worse than he got at villa or sunderland. did we ever throw a cabbage at him? his parents were alive for all that and it didnt seem to have done them much harm then.

nbthree3 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 The interview with Edwards the other day saying 'he wasn't bitter if the consortium sack him' essentially set him up for another job. Hull fans like him because he took them to the Premier League twice and made the FA Cup final, that's unprecedented for them given their history. Making a cup final would arguably change our perceptions of him but it's too late for that now Sunderland fans shouldn't like him, or not claim he's doing a good job here because he was sacked with virtually identical records a decade ago. Give or take one game the records match perfectly. Villa had the cabbage, Sheffield Wednesday had the compensation saga with us... before that Birmingham who I forget had GSB probably respect him as would Wigan. And further his loyalty really comes into question with his 5 jobs in 3 years! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nbthree3 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Steve Bruce’s reign as Newcastle United’s manager will end this week. The club’s new Saudi owners will axe the 60-year-old in what will be the first major decision in re-shaping the Tyneside club. A collective agreement has been reached by the hierarchy that the Magpies need a fresh direction - and the current boss will learn his fate in the next few days. - No names linked in the piece though Conte and Mancini appear "wide of the mark" and Rafa can't as Everton have him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nbthree3 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Such a shame we can't have Rafa back as the consortium are being advised by his men (Mail piece) Frank McParland, former Liverpool academy director (1999 to 2013) and most recently director of recruitment at Rangers, will lead the managerial search. Premier League experience is seen as important given that, while the long-term ambition is to win trophies, the immediate priority is to avoid relegation. Owen Brown, who worked with Benitez at Liverpool and who is agent to Phil Foden, has been PCP’s football consultant and will retain an advisory role.

Wolfcastle Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 My favourite player as a kid Roberto Mancini, maybe some time in the future. Thought we'd go the Jones route given the situation - need to get out of danger and a fancy manager might not be sensible at this time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 If they would've gone for a manager of Benitez' calibre then why isn't Conte at least a candidate? Different story if he's already said no, but going by those articles the choices are a bit underwhelming imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Not really convinced by the idea of just sticking with Graeme Jones like. Honestly don't even really know anything about the bloke.

Awaymag Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Give them time guys. We all agree Bruce should go asap. We dont need a superstar manager at this stage. We need a good manager that can get us up the league. Its highly unlikely the 1st manager they hire, will be the manager that wins us something. Slowly slowly catchy monkey.

midds Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Going to give them the benefit of the doubt on this one. I've got no proof of anything here but I'm just joining the dots here, but I honestly think that the speed at which this whole thing has happened has surprised all of us including Staveley and the consortium. They look delighted it's gone through and they're now in charge but given how things looked 2 weeks ago it seemed a million miles away. I know it's been rumbling on for 18 months and they'll have had a chance to think about how to move the club forward, who'll be manager, who'll be a target in the market etc but it was never imminent. It was always "we'll do this once we take over". The litigation that was taking place looked like it would take months, maybe years, hearing pushed back until next year and it looked bogged down in red tape and there was never a finishing line in sight.....Then it changed so suddenly it has caught everyone off guard and it's happened within a few days. They've been given the nod by the PL and I think they've been caught on the hop at the speed of the resolution. It's a crucial appointment, they've got to assess things and see who's available, who still wants it and make plans to appoint and this takes time. I'm more than happy to give them as much time as they need to appoint the right bloke. Critical they get it right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
