Rocker Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Imagine being in a job where you're universally hated by everyone in the company and they can't wait for you to be sacked. You turn up to your desk everyday and there's a basket full of letters pleading for you to resign and people walk past your office and hurl abuse at you every couple of minutes. Oh, and you're already a multi-millionaire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I just can't comprehend the idea of NOT sacking him. I mean we're clearly going to have to sack him eventually anyway, so what exactly is the benefit of waiting? What do we achieve? Especially baffling as we've been in the exact same situation 2 times already and made the exact same mistake we're now looking to make again. It's just incomprehensible.

Minhosa Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 If it so happens that relegation means the takeover cannot happen then Steve ought to be remembered as one of the worst human beings to ever come from the region. His current greed, and subsequent refusal to step down, will deprive the city and its people of a hundred years of happiness. They should erect a statue of him in toon but make it with a cushioned bollocks area so our kids and their kids can run up and boot him for generations to come. Agreed.

gjohnson Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 The face of a serial loser only to happy to have gifted his former club 3 points. No wonder the team looks as though they couldn’t give a s*** anymore, he was probably jovial in the dressing room afterwards aswell. To give this c*** even 1 more game is a disgrace, he’s overseen no points in consecutive home games against Leeds and Palace which has us completely in the s***. He’s incapable of making the calls required to keep us up, for instance Shelvey needs dropped immediately an absolute passenger that Rafa had long since discarded with. His mismanagement of S Longstaff, how anyone can blame the kid for regressing beggars belief under this imbecile. We could go on, his unbelievable decision not to play Almiron away to Sheffield United and allegedly blaming Longstaff for that tactical masterclass. This is the bloke who left Manquillo our best right back on the bench prior to being injured. Has left a goalkeeper on the bench who is clearly superior in every department and this has now undeniably cost us goals in recent games. His mismanagement of injuries and rushing players back. Lack of any ability to coach or employ tactics, does he even consider or know how the opposition are going to line up. The list is endless to highlight his incompetence and ultimately it always comes back to the question which club in there right mind goes from Rafa to Bruce. The answer is us under this joke of a regime, who let’s remember actively tried to encourage Rafa to take the Spain job the previous summer. The club claimed they had learnt lessons after acting to late with McClaren, this relegation will be deserved and wholly predictable yet again. Clearly didn't pay attention to what happened to Nicky Butt when he went laughing with SAF after an obligatory humiliation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantail Breeze Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 It must be incredibly tiresome to keep having to find news stats to support Bruce with because he’s ruined the last lot. Every single week a pundit trots out an excuse: ‘no team has ever gone down with x points after x games’, two weeks later we fall below the required level.... Next it’s, ‘Rafa only had x points after x games’, then two weeks later Rafa’s points total exceeds his. A revolving door of excuses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't really paid attention to the takeover thread since PIP & Co announced they pulled out mid last year. Unless there's anything new (substantial information) that has completely went past me I fail to see why a relegation is such a bad thing for a takeover. In my mind I've already embraced relegation, and hope that we don't succeed in getting straight back up too so that the club becomes a financial burden to Ashley.

Yorkie Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 .com: We now move on to the supposedly "winnable" games against Wolves, West Brom, Villa and Brighton - although we failed to collect maximum points from any of the corresponding trio last season. In the real world not populated by media sycophants, there's little confidence that we'll survive through our own efforts - and that the path to temporary salvation lies only in the shortcomings of other sides. We have the opposite of a spine - with doubts over the effectiveness of each department; be it the fading Darlow, the problematic right back slot, the ailing but seemingly undroppable Shelvey or a hint of any tangible replacement for the goals and assists of Callum Wilson. The logic-defying pronouncements of the manager hardly breed confidence either - becoming more and more reminiscent of Steve McClaren by the week. Suspicions remain that Bruce's roadmap to recovery is upside down if "six or seven teams" really are looking back over their shoulders as he claims. They're seeing points there for the taking. That old pantomime line "It's behind you", with "it" being eighteenth-placed Fulham feels rather more accurate. Aware of their plight as a club and active in the January market, the Cottagers are also fighting to turn things around on the field, grinding out points and reeling us in. Contrast that with the tedious farce that is this football club; the perpetual absence of leadership or appreciation of the woeful situation we're in, characterised by the smug fraud content to be the public face of it. Nowhere else would this be tolerated. Despite the relegation fears I do enjoy the 100% disgust towards the manager. Seems to be basically everywhere within the fanbase now. Nice to actually be united on something for once. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Edwards is a cunt, but he's correct on two counts. 1) We did finish the season strongly under Rafa. Sadly for Luke, there's nothing to suggest we'll do the same under Bruce. 2) Our upcoming fixture could well define our season. All the more reason to bin our obese charlatan of a manager.
