Wolfcastle Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 a paid journalist covering NUFC thinks someone played for us who never did, sums up Edwards perfectly- actually, wouldn't be surprised if Bruce thinks he did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Maverick player loves manager who instills no discipline and is dead nice to him no matter what? Shocker. I'm not convinced ASM is going to make the cut long term, tbh. He's a really lovely footballer to watch but not convinced he has the other parts to his game. It's going to be really interesting seeing how he fares with someone tactically structured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I have no doubt that to the people he knows in his private life, he’s probably an affable bloke. Like I said before, I had no ill feeling toward him before he took the job, I just knew he wasn’t going to work because of his track record. But the thing is, we’re not all millionaires who can go swanning off on holidays and playing golf most days a week, we work jobs we don’t really like so that our heads are above water and then on the weekends we have something to look forward to, for us it’s the club. And this man has been ruining this experience for far too long. Dont get me wrong, the run of games we had at the end of last season was fun, especially that late goal against Liverpool. It’s not all been doom and gloom but overall we can all see the teams regression, all good habits being forgotten and basically replaced by unorganised chaos, poor fitness and no plan whatsoever. It makes it so hard to look past a persons redeeming qualities when they are hurting something you love because of their total lack of ability. Its done now, let whoever praise him for how they saw him in their own personal relationship, it’s not how we see it but there’s a universe where we can both be right. I do think the comments about his weight are a bit beneath us, but again, when someone is hurting what you love, all reason goes out the window. Feeling such a relief that it’s all over and looking forward to the clubs next appointment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consortium of one Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I'm so glad this POS is finally gone. Setting every thing else aside have you ever seen a manager in any sport recite the names he has been called as he walked out the door? I've been following sports for nearly 60 years and have seen some whoppers who were spectacularly shit on during their reigns. From Joe Bugel to Richie Kotite to Stump Merrill, every guy kept their mouth shut ands moved on with some measure of dignity. But not Bruce. He has to actually toss some of the insults out there, begging for sympathy. I hope he retires. He's not fit to be a leader. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) Thank Christ I can stop thinking about him now and 90% of the time forget he even exists, much like McClaren.

stlouismag Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Notable lack of a direct denial that he is, indeed, a "tactically inept cabbage head." Seems he just took issue with people saying it out loud. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loves to use family members to garner some sort of sympathy and victimhood points too, with his parents previously and today his wife. You'd think this man had been stripped of everything including the clothes off his back and flung out onto the street. The nitwit has pocketed millions in a payoff for skiving off work most days of the week and taking trips abroad to sun himself in Portugal as soon as the internationals come around. He has taken an absolute liberty at the club man. He was happy to come here because it was an opportunity to do all of that with no consequences because he knew all he had to do was paddy up to Ashley and go with everything Ashley wanted and his position would be secure, with no accountability for the quality of his actual work.

Not at all, if players are allowed to do as they please, why wouldn't they? It's fine if you want to scrabble around at the bottom of the table every year, but if we want to improve, we'll need far more ambition and professionalism. ASM was criticised by Favre I believe for a lax attitude in France, if he wants to go on to the next level, he'll have to get used to stricter standards. He's still young, so he's got everything to gain by being led properly, this could be a massive opportunity for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1964 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Listening to the self-pitying shite on SSN, you would be forgiven for thinking he had a great record. THE WORST MANAGERIAL RECORD OF ANY MANAGER WITH OVER 300 GAMES UNDER HIS BELT He was tactically inept, he was useless, he deserves to be criticised for 7 wins in 38. He is a bit part actor complaining that he never won an Oscar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vieira had no time for him at Nice, and it was under Vieira we were able to snap him up, because he had pretty much written ASM off. You see how hard Vieira's Palace side play and how disciplined he has them, and it begins to make some sense why he felt he couldn't use him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
