Keggy_Keagal Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 This has ended up a bit of a rant but so be it . Usual Bruce drivel. He always says "you have to accept it" when talking about criticism but he never does. Not one fellow supporter has expressed to me during Bruce's tenure that they hope for a world record transfer let alone expect one. Pardew was an outright liar but we've never had such a whiny manager. Constantly bleating about injuries, pressure, expectations, comments from George from Dunston on twitter which he doesn't apparently read. It's never-ending. For a bloke involved in top level sport as a player and a manager for over thirty year he is completely incapable of dealing with the vast majority of the demands of it. Mourinho is called a complainer and dark and moody but he's got nothing on this fella. When he gets a result or two he's always on the attack. There's a lot of complexities to managing a football club. I get it. Dealing with the supporters especially up here isn't one of them. The managers that have got it (Keegan, Robson, Hughton, Benitez) never really take issue with the fans. They embrace them, even the sometimes negative aspects. They all say how important we are, how we know are football (incidentally Liverpool fans for example are always credited with being intelligent by the media and football in general whereas we're talked down to and about) and how we have the right to say how we feel. Bruce treats us like an inconvenience, like he's being asked to deal with a wasp's nest in the loft and take the bins out on the same day. Why doesn't any journalist ever say you don't seem like you enjoy the job Steve ? He applied to be manager, if he doesn't like it he could resign. Part of "getting" what this club is about is understanding it's a privilege to manage Newcastle United and should be treated as such. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Here's the big thing, Newcastle have been a bottom half club for the last fifteen years, the difficult thing is managing the expectation of the fans". Fuck off, that's the easy go to narrative of a know-nowt two-bob pundit, not the team manager. Stupid fat wanker. He’s trying to change the mentality of this club into a small one, like a Wigan etc. Then he can get praised for keeping us up. The wanker treats the fans with contempt, but as long as he’s seen as the ‘good’ guy outside he’ll continue to be happy. If fans criticism is soo much, why doesn’t he go to another job? Bloke is the biggest cunt to manage us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah he’s not that clever, he’s just on the constant defensive because he knows he’s shit and knows everyone else does, but as long as he does what his job description is which is to keep us up, that’s what matters to Ashley and therefore him and justifies him doing a good job in his eyes. He’s a fraud basically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackyboy Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 This last little splutter of wins reminds me of Parsees for five finish. Nice but you know that it's just going to collapse into a downward spiral. He's had a lot of experience of downward spirals but has no clue how to stop them or why they even happened in the first place.

Candi_Hills Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) I hope the players rub it in when Amanda brings Rafa back. "He's out of touch" - Dubravka. "His tactics made no sense" - Schar.

Yorkie Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 The Bruce era is and will continue to be on an endless loop. Forever 12th-17th, regardless of investment; dismal performance after dismal performance, interspersed with useful wins thanks to the talent in the squad; set to a theme tune of defensive and self-obsessed soundbites in the media. 'Bruce isn't good enough,' cry the fans and the honest press; 'Yes he is because Newcastle,' responds the Ex-player Rent-a-Quotes. 'The criticism is fair enough - the criticism is unfair!' wails the man himself within the space of a sentence on TalkSport and Zoom. Accumulation of points. Roll wuh sleeves up. Look. Listen. Ye nouw. Treacle sponge and shortbread biscuits. Chomp blow lick guzzle gasp. Have a little bit of respect. Notice how he wasn't even prompted on the Craic Hope stuff this morning; he just came out with it. Desperate to be hard done by. Same as when no one mentions Rafa, he can't resist.

Yelevats Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 He doesn't help himself. He lacks so much humility. At no point did he need to go onto talksport and make it about him.
