Amusing if it is a player, the whole thing about them wanting Bruce out the door because he'll ruin the vibe on Sunday ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should make everyone feel better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 (edited) I guess the new owners haven’t a clue about running a premiership football team and are defaulting to status quo until they recruit.

Anyone taking these needs to be super aware that they'll automatically renew on a monthly fee. Don't get caught out. Cancel it and look for a link to a discount sub. They have them all the time.

SUPERTOON Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Good article that, interesting that it says normally Stavely and the rest of the consortium will be in Newcastle 3 days per week but next week will be here all week. Suggests movement on managerial and other fronts next week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-421 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 (edited) Not sure if its been quoted in any of the online interviews, but Tyne Tees news showed part of the Presser where they asked him if they won on sunday he'd like to shove the result back in some peoples faces, and he said yes he would. Unbelievable, that we sit 19th, 0 wins this season, and he still seems to think the criticism he's received, and calls for his sacking are unjust. https://www.itv.com/news/tyne-tees/2021-10-15/steve-bruce-to-stay-in-charge-for-1000th-game-as-manager Edited October 16, 2021 by TK-421 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's any good I'll cancel before the trial ends and get a discount one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Tbh I doubt the players will be listening to him at this stage anyway. Every bit of footage I've been suggests that they just get on with their own thing whilst he waddles around on the touchline. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was only describing what the video looked like (to me), its difficult to know what he'll do next. I've been around long enough to know, that there's been some terrible managers, and somebody will still employ them, hypothetically, take Derby, if Ashley did buy them, and he offered the manager role to Bruce, I think Bruce would take it. Mentally though I watched that video, and thought for his wellbeing he should retire. ?? Edited October 16, 2021 by mighty__mag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Been wondering whether this slug would be the one to dress up in Saudi garb, actually.

Have to say I'm very uncomfortable with people saying they "hate" Bruce! Hate is a very emotive word!!! I dislike him due to the teams results but i certainly don't hate him. I seem to recall hearing a story where some obscure celebrity was in Dubai having a meal and his card was rejected when trying to pay and Bruce who was also in the same restaurant paid his bill even though they had nevet met before, and also refused to allow repayment, so not the actions of a hateful person by any means !

Pardew was better at hiding his hatefulness, I can't remember him being as deliberately antagonistic to the fans or talking the club down in the way Bruce has. That together with Bruce being from the area and supposedly growing up a Newcastle supporter pushes him past Pardew in the hatefulness stakes for me.
