Steve Bruce (now unemployed)

[toon25]

This fat fucking waster has shown nothing but contempt to the fans since he waddled through the door. Lies, untruths, bitterness and topped off with dogshit football that we apparently ought to be grateful for.

 

New owners or not, he'll be getting the dogs abuse he deserves from me on Sunday.

Anything's got to be better than being subject to the spiteful whims of a bitter man-child with no clue about the game, surely? 

It’s fine asking them stuff to get a feel for the club and fans, but they shouldn’t be asking them their opinion on sacking a manger

Surely the latter is a massive part of the former? As in, "would it be better to do it now or to wait? What would the reaction be?"

[Ben]

I honestly think they have looked at finishing him but because the club has been ran into the ground on a skeleton crew, if they sack him and the Steves there is nobody left other than Jones and if he goes down with Covid what do they do.

 

 Bruce like Homer Simpson is currently employed because of default.

They shouldn’t need to do that over Bruce though

Yeah because that’s what I’m saying

Christ reading this is eye AIDS.

 

If he’s here for Sunday he’s here, it’s not going to affect our long-term future. They’ve obviously been caught on the hop, give them some time to get sorted out.

exactly. Just imagine everything that needs looking at and assessing. From our non existent social media team to The Gallowgate pidgeon, in the middle of all that they have to find a new D.O.F.

[Kid Icarus]

I feel like the last week on here would be a pretty interesting read for psychologists like. 

[nufcjmc]

If he stays on Sunday and we lose and come end of the season go down by 3 points or goal difference I am not sure "just one more game" will have sounded so great.

Probably not, but it sure as hell isn't an indication that gives any confidence that they will make timely, important decisions in the future.

 

Yeah the sale happend quickly in a sense, but they've been planning the acquisition and monitoring the club for at least 2 years, Stavely for 4. They know how Bruce has performed, they know what the fans think of him, they still have Charnley and an HR department available to sort the administrative/formalities to get him out.

If we are keeping him because we have no one lined up then he could be here beyond Sunday

90min reporting Yasir Al-Rumayyan is due in the North-East today, to rubber stamp the sacking of Bruce.

Get a DOF in 1st and then go from there.    The DOF will take the work load off Amanda etc so she can then move onto other items that are pressing

Surprised tbf. Would have taken being in this position a week ago mind.

[nufcjmc]

Said this before if we were midtable and plodding I would say what's the harm and keep him here until we get all the ducks in a row sort of thing and see him bow out. Part of the reason people may seem so desperate to see him gone apart from the terrible football and shocking stats and form is that he is "Ashley's man"

The man that wouldnt put his hand in his pocket unless it was yielding a return paid compo for a man and give him such a lucrative contract in terms of reported compo he was scared of Bruce being poached by the big 6 at any time. 

[WarrenBartonCentrePartin]

Moving what’s always been a 9.30am affair to 1.30pm is still a little suspicious like.

 

Is it that the media team simply still don’t know what might happen?

[Away Toon]

The idea that SB will go out and do the press conference tomorrow and then be in the dugout on Sunday is disgusting and shows if nothing else that our new owners are not as yet any of the things we would like them to be.

Still have to keep up with media obligations I suppose as we can't postpone things forever.

 

24 hours left to get him binned off before Sunday's game.

I mean there’s no guarantee, that getting rid of Bruce and his back room staff and sticking Jones in there will actually guarantee the three points either way. Hiring a manger, then a DOF, could set us back by a year atleast.

If you had asked anyone a week ago when the takeover was announced if SB would still be our manager for the Spurs game, everyone including yourself would have said no way.
