xLiaaamx Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Literally had a long weekend then a midweek day off since the owners took over. He can only be arsed working 3 days a week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree they should be ruthless, but maybe it’s foolish to be ruthless without having any of the sporting setup in place to source replacements / coaches. Hardly the same situation with ranieri though they weren’t 2nd bottom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) But again. The silence from both the owners and Bruce himself is deafening and strange. You'd think if they have told him that he'll take charge on Sunday, why not dispel the rumours and uncertainty? Its not like when it was the takeover happening or not that relied on a 3rd party. This is between the owners and Bruce. Just announce it. If you're reading this PCP, get Bruce out a.s.a.p. Edited October 13, 2021 by nufcjb Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicane Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Wtf do we need a replacement for anyway?! Bruce says he doesn't do tactics, he just throws the ball and says "let's play", he gives the players half the week off right before a big game Wtf does this guy do that needs to be replaced? Just let Jones take charge for a few weeks and get this stink away from the new era of the club ASAP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Press conference Friday will answer any questions. If he takes it he’s in charge and if not then I assume he won’t be. Maybe they are doing it tactically waiting till later in the week for maximum euphoria Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you really want to take another day off when you already were off Friday-Sunday, came in late in Monday and taking Thursday off again? Open your eyes Amanda, and PIF! Is this the man that will represent you to the world on Sunday? Fuck me. Bruce is pathetic. Imagine if players disobeyed him and came in on Thursday regardless. Any who had the sense to do that would have the sense to go somewhere with adequate facilities. Edited October 13, 2021 by Happinesstan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkhead Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Yeah, I think they are wary of sacking Brucie's 3-4 people as there's so few experienced coaching staff at the club. The owners probably fear that the players might react even worse if they're prepared for PL games by Gr Jones and a group of youth coaches. Plus Shearer and Caulkin might have said a good word about Brucie's "integrity", Lascelles might've mentioned that he's a good guy.. Same reason why Charnely is still employed - there's nobody else to do the daily stuff. We should be patient. It's important that Amanda and Mehrdad get the initial appointments correct, despite their lack of experience in football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocker Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 As much as I pray that when I click this thread I read that Bruce has gone, I think we all need to realise where we were this time last week and be fucking thankful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robster Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 2 hours ago, Lazarus said: Its such an easy PR win for the new owners. Only with NUFC fans though. Everyone outside of our bubble is already gunning for us and looking for a reason to have a go and to twist the knife. Bruce has mates in the media so from a PR perspective, it could work against them to kick him out without even taking some considered time to talk to him and to see how he operates from a day to day. In effect, letting him do his job is allowing him the rope to hang himself with as they can say they've seen the day to day operation and feel that a change is necessary.

nufc4eva Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I'm not worried about it, even if he takes Sundays game he hasn't got long left and when they do replace it will be quality. Probably better than rushed decisions. Can always spend a few hundred million in January to recover ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea have had a squad and reserve squad of top players each time. And they've replaced top class managers with top class managers. It's hardly comparable to us at all, and also not a rule of thumb every club follows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 2 hours ago, hakka said: I suspect this is as simple as the new owners want to have the new structure agreed and the people ready to join first before removing the old one, especially as the old one is vastly inadequate and undermanned. It looks like this takeover happened so fast that whatever previous discussions for people joining have to be revisited, because things like Rafa at Everton and potentially other people for big roles are no longer available and different ones are. If Conte was to be spoken to I can't see that being something to sort out in a few days when the whole club internally needs shake up from top to bottom. Conte would want to know who is DoF, who is running day to day etc. - we don't even know that yet. Just relax. Sacking Bruce now doesn't equal Spurs game win by default. I'd even not care if Bruce and his team were here for a few weeks as the rest of the hierarchy from Barnes, Charnley, a DoF etc. are sorted. If weeks do go by and nothing changes I'd be concerned. If we get to January and it's still Bruce I'd be angry as that's incompetence. Waiting a week or even two or three to get new team in place and Bruce replaced is fine with me. The reality is more complicated than hire/fire immediately. Sooner is better, but right decision is more important. Has any takeover sacked the status quo within 24 hours and replaced them before!? Genuine question. I don’t think anyone has no however I don’t think anyone has been second bottom with someone has bad as Bruce before either Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's perfect ammunition for Amanda to bin the useless cunt. Fancy being the manager of a club on the brink of possibly a great period in it's history and not making any effort to try to impress the new owners Could the guy be any more of an embarrassment.

Facundo Ferreyra Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 If the new owners backed Bruce, it'd be easy for them to come out and say that straight away. They haven't, so they clearly don't. He's gone, hopefully before Spurs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what this over dramatised "sack Bruce now" after days of being taken over comes across like when citing the second from bottom stuff. New owners are here and it's a couple days in to their stewardship, Bruce surely will go, it's super early in the season for second from bottom to matter given the squad we have. No matter who comes in they will take some time to get this side turned around, but will have plenty of time through (hopefully) November and December to get things better, and January to spend. Bruce out now or in say 3 weeks is unlikely to be the difference of us staying up or not. I'd prefer sooner, but I'd also prefer it done right and with right replacement.
