Pokerprince2004 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 If he is here this time tomorrow night then its safe to say he'll be in the dugout at Palace on Saturday. Getting a little alarming the new owners haven't binned him. Was expecting them to be ruthless but this indecision is not good at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumbheed Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Not sacking Bruce feels like a decision that makes perfect sense in the business world but not in the football one. I think this is pure naivety from the owners unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That £8million is not worth haggling about. Yes its detrimental to the team keeping Bruce still but £8million is nothing to these people. They really want their man in and confirmed before kicking Bruce out it seems. Edited October 18, 2021 by nufcjb Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Maximin Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I’m confused. Is there something about our contracts? Took us ages to sack McClaren and now Bruce. if it’s to do with a replacement I don’t get that either. They surely want him gone, so it’s not fair on anyone to keep him around. Don’t think he should be treated like that as much as I don’t like him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok yeah, presumably “resign now or get the inevitable sack we get a replacement”. Not sure how a Bruce going through the motions is going to be of any use.

It’s all fair enough saying look at what he did with a lack of funds, had a vision, engaged with the fans and the city etc. However, it takes too much analysis for the average ignorant fan/pundit to realise that. Or they are just suffering from major confirmation bias post-takeover as we’re all awful people all of a sudden. You're right. He hasn't won a game all season, the football is rancid, he's got an awful win rate and won nothing in 20years and he's defended more than any other manager we've had. Its hard to know how bad he'd have to be to be criticised, I doubt relegation again would do it. Rafa inherited a team in the relegation zone and left them in midtable, Bruce inherited a midtable side and has them in the relegation zone. Couldn't be more stark really, but they'll find some factoid to paper over that. Edited October 18, 2021 by Wolfcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the problem is there are the alternative stats that say Bruce’s Newcastle points tally and positions in the Prem are similar and really that’s all his supporters are going to focus on. It’s clear as day to us he’s destroyed the solid defensive foundation we’ve had and his luck is running out but you can ignore that if you’re not willing to analyse properly/Bruce’s mates/hate the Toon fans.
