Guest reefatoon Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Like someone mentioned earlier, with his horrific record, you would think he would want it kept quiet. But no, this muppet seems to want a big fan fare around it. Look at me everyone, I have been utter wank now for 1000 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I just can't get my head round the 'let's boo Bruce and give him stick" idea in the current circumstances. Don't applaud don't chant his name but any negativity towards any part if the club will be counterproductive so what's the point. We know hes gone, the sooner the better, but if he's in the dug out on Sunday, will booing him benefit the team or be a negative ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandy Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Yeah if he is still there on Sunday he has simply got to be ignored. And even if we lose, the ideal scenario would be to simply shuffle off and not say a word. That's not going to happen of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Surely we should at least get some form of communication from the owners to tell us the actual plan going forward ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll have to hoy someone in front of the cameras. Yeah I think it’s premier league rules managers have to do the pre match press conference before a weekend game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 This is my prediction, he’ll give his pre match press conference and will announce himself that he’s going to step down at the end of the month and allow the new owners to get their own structure in place.

Chris_R Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Maybe Wor Flags can do a Steve Bruce banner. Not criticising per se, just listing his 1000 game statistics - win rate, PL win rate, trophies won etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 If the 1000 game milestone was any other manager you'd hear about it and think "Ah reet" and that's it. It's this guy's greatest achievement though apparently, that he's managed to dupe so many clubs for so long. His comments about this the other day saying "It could only happen to me" sum the bloke up. Fucking patter vacuum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even that he's going to step down. More that he's staying short term to aid the transition. Hopefully short term being as short as possible.

Anything could happen, but this would not surprise me in the slightest as he'll be so keen to be seen as the hero. He'll trot in on a robust white horse and wearing an XXXL suit of armour, make his announcement, then sweep Luke up into his arms and gallop off in the direction of Chicken Cottage.

Rafa achieved the same with us in the Championship and he kept it secret until after the game polar opposite to the clown we have now. ‘Rafa Benitez kept his 1,000th game as a manager a secret this week. He passed the milestone just as he wanted – with no fuss, and nothing to distract from Newcastle's 2-0 win at Wigan and return to the top of the Championship.’ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Forgot about that. If we lose on Sunday a reporter should ask if he thinks his celebrations caused a distraction, citing Rafa's more low key approach just a few years prior. Or is this one of the naughty comparisons because it makes Bruce look a tit so we should actually stop shouting about Rafa all the time? I can never keep up with when we're allowed to compare the two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just shows the difference between the two blokes really. 'Would just be my luck not to get my 1000th game'. Fucking prick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 This rancid cunt is definitely there Sunday now isn’t he?! Still disappointed the ground never turned properly toxic towards him, that Leeds game was the chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 (edited) It's like framing your 100% attendance certificate at school for someone like Bruce. He really has nothing else to boast about and looking at his record it's pretty hard to argue that him getting to 1,000 games isn't a massive achievement like.

SUPERTOON Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I honestly think with caulkin saying the consortium asked his opinion on Bruce earlier that they also asked Shearer and he’s told them to keep him on till Sunday at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_R Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Yeah it's pointless asking his best mate if he should be sacked or not. No matter how shit my best mate was at his job*, I'm unlikely to ever recommend his employer fire him. (*Unless he was something like a pilot or a neurosurgeon!)
