What a grateful, accepting, enabling patsy fucker. To think Rafa got stick for walking away from this, man. Christ on a bike. I honestly wonder why he bothers. Doesn't look like he enjoys it, it's at least a 6 day a week job being a manager, shitloads of travelling, it must be stressful (especially at Ashley's NUFC where he's often the only public face of the club) and if he doesn't think most fans think he's a cunt then he's about to find out now they're allowed back in. And this is a man who is already rich enough that he could fuck off tomorrow and would never need to work again in his life. It's not like a Charnley situation who is clinging onto a job that will set his family up for life. I honestly don't understand what Btuce gets from it or why he wants to carry on.

black_n_white Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Pretty obvious he’d get a contract extension really, Ashley must be over the moon with the job he’s doing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) Totally agree with geordiesteve710's comment - that's how I'd feel and how you probably feel. I wonder if its like when things at the club make no sense when seen through the prism of a football club becoming clear as day when seen through the prism of not really being a football club. If Bruce is a c**t he probably wouldn't think like that, more a case of 'stuff them and the club I'm going to get every penny I can out of it" Literally the only shred of a decent and dignified thing he could do that might take a bit of the edge of being so utterly despised, is to not sign a new contract - so he probably will.

Speaking after the 2-0 win over Burton last night, Bruce said: "I honestly do not know where it came from. "That was news to me." And when asked if he'd held any talks, Bruce insisted: "No". More interestingly when asked if he was at the end of his contract in May, he replied: "No." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 We could stick a 20m bid in right now. Pretty confident they'd accept it, they're clearly not sold on him playing.

I think they'll loan him out for another season just to make sure last wasn't just a flash in the pan, then decide on his future next summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maze Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) I feel sorry for those who actually care anymore. If there is any truth in a contract extension, then there’s also no takeover on the horizon. (We all knew that anyway, but the extension is yet another confirmation imo). If the club, under any circumstances, were in a situation were there was even a glimmer of hope for a takeover extending the contract would not be a topic. Under this regime, Bruce is easily replaced. You only need a ‘Yes man’ working for less than peanuts. They’re out there.

nbthree3 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-steve-bruce-contract-21197708 Bruce told reporters on Friday: "I honestly don't know where it comes from or where that is. "Was it eight years or three years? "I'd prefer eight years. "But no, it was news to me." Ashley refused to sack Bruce last season when results were poor, and in turn, Bruce has vowed never to walk away from the job, despite its financial constraints, pressure and public scrutiny. The Toon owner would have to pay a big settlement package to Bruce if he decided to change manager, but the reality is that Bruce has done a similar job to Benitez, finishing 13th and 12th, securing survival long before the final day. Chief Newcastle United Writer for the Evening Chronicle, Lee Ryder everyone... if you're looking only at the league table and points "accumulated" yes. But it's a cover-up for the blatant stagnation hidden beneath and surely Lee recognises that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
