Guest Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Just his comments, man. “I’ll have a crack. I’ll give it a go”. Not, “I can prove I’m the man for the job”. He sounds like a lottery winner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 He’s worse than Pardew. Never hated a a manager more. His conduct today sealed it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Toon Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 If we haven’t sacked him because we don’t have a manager and they have decided not to sack him until we do, he might be here for a lot longer than a couple of games. Doesn’t bare thinking about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 If he wasn't on 999 games he would be gone already. It's 100% a PR move. Bruce is confusingly widely liked, if not respected outside of most that have experienced him as a manager! Not giving the press/fans wanting us to fail a chance to stick the knife in over mistreating Bruce > Placating fans who want Bruce out but are onside with the ownership regardless Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaqen Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Just been watching some of the Overlap on Sky Sports. Scholes claiming he doesn't believe managers should get a payoff for essentially failing at their job but in this case Bruce deserves a massive payoff for the way the fans have treat him 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.

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.

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...
