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.

Rafalove Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Bust ups are quite common aren’t they?

andyc35i Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 The way Palace played tonight, Bruce still in charge and the unrest in the dressing room, it’s pretty much a guaranteed defeat.
