It is such a non story.

Luke has written Bruce has no intention of quitting and the club has no interest or desire to sack him. If both of those points are true (they appear to be given he's still in the job) then why the hell would they all spend the day having "frantic meetings"?

“Bruce has thought long and hard about his position since the Brighton defeat but is adamant he will not walk away from the fight and does not feel there is anyone who can replace him who would do a better job in the current circumstances”.

The best part about this is that he will truly believe the circumstances are not of his own making, and are down to outside forces such as injuries, covid and the mole.

It's more or less Carver's "I think I'm the best coach in the Premier League" approach (for this game, for trying to keep the club afloat - you've got to convince yourself you and only you are the best for a certain task otherwise you'll never be able to accomplish it) I think. Not that it defends what most of us can clearly see as lies

“Key figures”........exactly who are these key figures

 

“performances had improved”......GTF......has the lickspittle actually watched us recently

 

”no one better”.....at least this is correct “no one” would be better than the Vogon

I think we can feel somewhat optimistic by the fact that, on the whole, we've got a core of players in the squad who aren't total mercenaries. In dire seasons gone by, the squad was populated with people who really couldn't give two shits about staying up or going down. If Bruce really is reviled among the players I wouldn't be surprised if the likes of Lascelles has taken on a de facto leader role, supported by some of the other senior players. They won't be at the point of picking the team, you wouldn't have thought, but they might start playing in spite of Bruce. It's not inconceivable to think that Bruce has literally no control; in fact that's never been convincing for one moment since he arrived.

I just think they’ve been through it too many times now, and Bruce has crushed their spirits. How many times can you fight relegation just to survive and fight relegation again? This time without any decent coaching.

"Nevertheless, the mood inside the training ground, which has taken on a siege mentality this week with staff trying to block out the outside noise and players told to stay off social media, was said to be upbeat and determined." 

If you pretend nothing's wrong, is anything really wrong at all? 

How can there be a siege mentality if there’s nee cunt there?

There must be some prolific letter writers in the 5% wanting Bruce to stay.

There are also people who want to see Bruce get relegated. If he is sacked before, then the PFM brigade will say that he would have kept us up.

As Ando suggested, this is dying in the last ditch stuff from the fat cunt. Saving face via his pals in the media and trying to lick the hoop of Charnley in the hope that he'll keep him on.

Why would you stay if 95% of your people don't want you there. It's impossible to succeed with that level of support and it must be felt by the players

Millions of pounds and he knows he wont get an real earache as the fans are not allowed in the stadium.  Its just a waiting game until Bruce gets his pay off.

I don’t know anyone who wants him here or thinks he deserved to be managing a club at this level.

As much as I detested the man, even Alan Pardew had the odd supporter. I don’t know what their thought process was, maybe that one off season when we finished 5th.

Bruce is the worst manager we have had in my life time, at least we showed a bit of fight in that final game against West Ham under Carver. If it goes down to the last game at Craven Cottage you can guarantee we will go down without a whimper.

This whole situation is Charnley doing a massive bottle job. If reports are to be believed he is in  charge day to day.

Even without any football knowledge at all, any company/director should be able to see that a 10% ( 2wins in 20) success rate is poor even ignoring competitors who are doing better. 

Regardless of his title, it's clear that he does not have the real power of a CEO. I don't believe anyone could be so oblivious to results to see that things arent working...

So what is it? Fear of Ashley, overridden by Barnes? Incompetence?

Assuming its a fear of being sacked himself for having to make a large compensation payout, then why is he not afraid of costing the business a few hundred million.

As much of a tool Ashley is, given his money driven nature there's no way he would want a loss of the magnitude relegation would bring

Unless it’s all been agreed on behind closed doors with his legal team and the people representing the consortium.

The club have been actively trying to pave the way for this takeover to happen, why when he’s this close to getting the payout he wants, would he risk stopping the whole thing? It doesn’t make sense.

Bruce has probably been begging to be sacked but they say no because he’s the right man to take us down

The only reasonable and logical explanation is that they want to go down as some kind of back door to the takeover. However, if Ashley's NUFC has taught me anything its that reason and logic was left to die in the corner 14 years ago.
