I can't believe for a second that he adds anything positive to the preparation for the game, just get rid of him and put a caretaker in charge. Figure it out from there.

They don’t want ten men behind the ball, trying to nick a point. For all his Geordie roots, known childhood love of the club, and association with Wallsend Boys Club, Bruce has never been embraced by the Toon Army. Too associated with Mike Ashley. Too unadventurous. His connection to Sunderland, whom he managed between 2009 and 2011, was also never going to help him. So Bruce can hardly complain when the PIF P45 comes his way, courtesy of the Saudi Public Investment Fund that is taking over the club. Newcastle fans will not miss Bruce or his football but he deserves some respect for working under the financial strictures of the Ashley regime and under the protocol strictures of the pandemic. Bruce has to go but he does not deserve to be ridiculed and the abuse he’s endured on social media has been disgraceful. He’s behaved with dignity, often almost acting as a human shield for Ashley. It needs acknowledging that Bruce has had relatively little to spend, meaning that injuries to key members of a limited squad are even more damaging. Newcastle’s squad will be overhauled, and not before time. At the moment it’s got a more Championship look to it than Champions League. Bruce has been managing with one hand tied behind his back. Regular denigration hurt him. I encountered him earlier this year coming out of St James’ Park and he was fuming over what he considered belittling headlines. There was defiance in his words but he looked absolutely worn down by the job, the pressure and the criticism. Bruce needs to look after his health, which is why the termination of his contract, however much a jolt to his pride, may prove a timely blessing. Bruce needs a break. Is he just a promotion specialist? He still achieved two top-ten Premier League finishes with Birmingham (2003-04) and Sunderland (2010-11). He can hardly be written off as a has-been, a busted flush, when he was voted Premier League Manager of the Month for last April. He guided Hull to the FA Cup final in 2014. Nobody should write him off as a manager. In 23 years in the career, Bruce has been out of work for less than two. He may have had a reputation for quitting jobs — seven times, and swiftly moving elsewhere four times — but he’s always been rated enough by owners to get jobs. The 60-year-old will be dismissed by Newcastle’s owners but he cannot be dismissed as a modest manager as he is by many fans. He’s taken on difficult jobs, often at clubs with either challenging owners or troubled finances, often both. He’s behaved with dignity at Newcastle, although the club banning one particular reporter over critical coverage was a mistake. On the whole, players like him. They may see tactical limitations and questionable substitutions, but they can also see a genuine man — and some players at Newcastle need to be looking at themselves anyway, questioning whether they have put a shift in. If they are to reposition Newcastle as a go-to club for ambitious talents, they need a stellar name in place. Bruce is not that man — everyone can see that — but show him some respect. Sorry. As much as I admire henry Winter, he needs to remember. Respect is to be earned. Bruce had hardly any respect for the club and the fans when Ashley was here so why should we bow down to him? He can fuck off to planet Zergirg for all I care. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-421 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I still think he'll be gone this week, maybe the next day or two at most. It probably wouldn't have been a good look, for AS/MG to go down to Benton, meet everyone but then give Bruce his cards whilst all the players were there. More than likely he'll be called to SJP, or even just phoned at some point to tell him his fate, now they've formally met. Given the teams form, there really is not reason to keep him on. He's had 7 league games and won 0. And as above, the team would benefit from a party atmosphere on Sunday with a crowd fully behind the team and the dugout, and as above, he would just be a dampener on that.

Ben Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Probably just sorting his payoff out, the Saudis have no issue sacking managers (just look at their international team) but it will be done without the fanfair of cameras around the training ground, Staverly's refusal to back Bruce at anytime over the past few days only means one thing.

That's probably why he keeps/has his job. Not even joking. Its a pre-requisite in his chosen field now. Modest career, thick and and knob. Whatever their faults a Trevor Brooking, Andy Gray, David Pleat wouldn't be considered now for being too sensible and not entertaining, click-bait controversial and dumbing down enough.
