LionOfGosforth Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 This dickhead was his own worst enemy. With a bit of common sense, he could have had the fans behind him early doors, he instead chose to take the defensive route and reference "the mighty Rafa" in the most condescending way, while treating the fans with contempt. Also, why are the media so quick to defend him? He spent most of the past 2 years telling journalists what's what and how some of them needed "a slap" for getting their information wrong about his sacking, yet a week on, he has been sacked and yet they still defend him. Fucking crazy. Also, this whole "1000 games and 20 years as a manager" shtick. This hopeless sod could have chosen during these decades, to move with the times, learn new ways of playing and coaching, become more tactically aware. He couldn't be arsed. Fuck him.

Scoot Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Sick of seeing this on twitter and Facebook from every idiot and his dog. People saying stats don't lie. They've left off how much each manager spent and the other fact that we were newly promoted under Rafa, pretty big stats to leave off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonsays Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Where is all this abuse that he has received? Can't say I've seen anything other than people saying he's shit or he's fat - both of which are objectively true. He didn't have it easy under Ashley but he knew what he was signing up for and was obviously not up to the job in the first place. He has walked away with 8 million quid and the entire premier League queuing up to suck him off! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Bruce would have sent us down that first season (amongst other reasons )because he’d not have had the foresight to go and get Dubravka when he had ‘solid keepers’ in Darlow & Elliot.

Stottie Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 A suitable response to fans of other clubs saying Bruce was good enough would be to ask them how many games NUFC have played in the Champions League and Europa League, the new formats that is, not the old European Cup or UEFA. 99% of them will have no idea that the answer is 38 (24 CL plus 14 Europa), which is more than Everton or Leicester. Would a manager putting those teams into a relegation battle after 100M of spend be acceptable? If we are now a rollover joke club, it is only because shit managers like Bruce employed by a shit owner called Ashley have turned us into one.

Including the Championship it is but you can’t compare a side who’d just been promoted on a shoestring to a well-drilled mid-table side with £140m spent on it and hadn’t improved results and whose performances went to shite.

Love how there is this weird outpouring of support for someone who has been horrifically shit at every club. 14th in the Championship with Grealish, McGinn and Abraham ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
