Abacus Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 She's saying there's going to be change right before his big press conference as well. But he's been very professional, apparently. Yep, turned up at the canteen at opening time every day on the dot. Even on his days off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BennyBlanco Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) He’ll soon crumble under the added attention. His dire management has been allowed to slip under the radar for ages but with the scrutiny he’ll be under now, it won’t be long until he’s properly exposed by those who don’t share an agent/agenda with him.

They know the manager is out the door at some point, seems weird having him there trying to give team talks when they know he will be getting peddled. Will leave a very strange atmosphere and situation. Each and every player will have their head messed with....not because Bruce may or may not be leaving, but more because they will have to either start justifying their wage/performance ratio, or start looking for new clubs where they wouldn't get half of what we pay them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is that an achievement anyway when you have been utter piss through the majority of it. Such a pile of shite like. No place for sentiment when we are down the bottom of the league with no wins. As soon as we get this ridiculous Steve Bruce Day out of the way, we can eventually look onwards and upwards. They clearly haven’t like. They are just making a decision it’s best not to disrupt things with no new manager ready yet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) Good communication but bad decision and not a good situation. Take the gloss off the day on Sunday, leave the club run by a dead man walking who is proven to be useless, allow him to face the media while awaiting the sack. Seems an error to me, albeit one which won’t matter in a few weeks time. Sad if Sunday ends up some decent atmosphere followed by a terrible performance and losing to Spurs while booing Bruce. They must either have been charmed by Bruce or have no confidence in Jones as caretaker. Or they value process over the effect on the atmosphere, which is probably sensible but not quite what I’d like to see.

SUPERTOON Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 My main concern is that he’s now going to be here after Sunday tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) My problem with 'ignoring' him on Sunday is, he and his media mates have made it all about him. 'oh its his 1000th game, oh he had his hands tied under Ashley, oh he needs to be be given a chance to prove himself'. ' 'Bruce is a nice guy, feel sorry for Bruce, he is a human being'. What the fuck? He has managed this club for 3 years and we're even more worse than before he took over. It's all about Bruce this, Bruce that. He'll get millions in compo for ruining his suppposed 'boyhood club'. If this was not made into a big deal 1000th game and we weren't shit under him, no one would abuse him in the first place. And he's arrogant too, the cunt. Edited October 15, 2021 by nufcjb Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBG Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 It has to be up there as one of the worst decisions the owners have made during their 7 days of ownership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I really don't think it's that big a deal tbh. Relegation isn't a material threat at all, regardless of our current situation. We're far from adrift and there's absolutely shitloads of games left to play, plus a new manager to come in, plus January. The important thing is that they intend to peddle him as soon as they feel they can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 If I hadn't got more clarity on the Bruce contract situation I'd be pretty concerned and disappointed about right now, but given the circumstances, despite wanting him gone, I understand why and I am prepared to give new owners time to find a way to get rid of Bruce in the cheapest way possible. Would still have liked them to ask Bruce to step away from training and match duties as a bare minimum but can also see there's also good arguments for letting him continue.

Yorkie Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I'm dubious about how much of an impact he's actually having at the weekend anyway tbh. Players will be playing for themselves and I think we'll win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without someone already lined up and ready to go, a week is no time at all in recruitment...could take longer than that to even get a response from someone. Given the skeleton nature of the entire club staff, keeping someone on till you can replace them makes perfect sense no matter how terrible they obviously are. It would not surprise me if they were told to find their own way to Charnleys office on day 1 rather than being taken there by a staff member.

Fuck him, one game won’t make a difference anyway. I commented pretty much this on the NUFC Facebook post about it and some numpty replied calling me a joke and saying I shouldn't want the crowd to give him hell. It's entirely his fucking fault we're in 19th with no wins. Hope he cries himself to sleep on Sunday night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
