It probably won’t even be that long. It doesn’t have to happen in the next five seconds. I would far rather they had their house in order and avoided making a stupid mistake than sack Bruce last Friday and go and hire the first idiot they spoke to. Aye, but there was always another option, immediately sack him and put Jones in charge until the replacement is hired, risky you might say? In many other circumstances yes, but we have won 0 from 8 games, we literally cant do any worse. Should have been peddled first thing Monday morning. Not a disaster but definitely a mistake IMO.

You can see the PFM loving people and media leaping to his defence. The new owners need to be strong in their convictions and not care about any so-called negative PR, they are not running a PR firm here but a football club. Bruce needs gone ASAP, having said that, if him staying on for now is part of a wider strategic plan, what can we do? Abuse the cunt for 90 mins on Sunday that’s what and fuck any haters.

nufcjb Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) Everytime I see him stepping out of his car, I cannot for one second believe that guy is a coach of a Premier League club. He is so out of shape, he almost struggles to get out of it. And fuck off with this Steve Bruce is a human being, nice guy narrative. Go ask Craig Hope or even Lee Ryder if Bruce is a nice guy. If he is, then it makes Rafa Benitez an angel then! Edited October 13, 2021 by nufcjb Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not suggesting they should care - the point is whatever they do a narrative can be painted either way about him being sacked straight away or after Sunday's game. It's all moot to me. Being free from Ashley and having owners that claim they want us to win things and have the financial muscle to do it is amazing. I ain't going to give a fuck if Bruce happens to be in charge for a short while longer while the new owners sort out the new structure. Haven't we always wanted owners that do things properly? We've waited 14 years to be free of Ashley and the moment we do it people are unhappy we haven't peddled Bruce in less than a few days - it's beggars belief people are that greedy for having it all their way already, even though it means fuck all in grand scheme of things. I'd change my tune if he's here for rest of the season, of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackyboy Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Another day off, that means that they've done 2 days this week. He wouldn't be the first manager to be sacked after a win but I'd rather he was gone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-421 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Hopefully tomorrows day off will allow them to make the decision and bin him. Then on Friday, Graeme Jones can take media duties ahead of the weekend. Is it telling that Bruce had an interview planned based around his 1000th match earlier this week ( ) but it was postponed/cancelled? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 It's frustrating like but understandable they'd not want to rush into any big decisions too soon. Whatever you think of Bruce, sacking a manager is a big decision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are those things necessary for getting rid of arguably the worst manager in the club's history? We'd have a better chance of beating Tottenham if he simply just wasn't in the dugout.

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I think rightly or wrong he'll be here for at least the Spurs game, I have a feeling that the plan is that he stays until we've inteviewed all of our targets and they are ready to appoint him. I think with this all happening unexpectedly they haven't had time to sort things out ahead of time and this is what we are seeing now with the managerial situation. I hope I'm wrong though and its announced hes been bounced out of Newcastle forever before Sunday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but I think we might just have to be patient maybe for this and the Palace game, I'd still rather they take the time to make the right decision on the manager. Id personally prefer we just let Jones take over temporarily but apparently they like Bruce. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
