Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) This is getting well out of hand, like. How does the age old story of 'shit manager gets pushed out by fans' get turned in to a national outcry of outrage. I dont understand. We said he was shit and some people mentioned cabbages because other fans have before and its objectively funny. We didnt murder his family.

Wolfcastle Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) He's arguably bottom of the list of important managers in my time supporting Newcastle and only even relevant at all because he went above and beyond the call of duty at being unlikable and poor at his job. And were just a small club everyone keeps saying. Don't think he'd be far off the bottom of Villa's list either. Souness got to a cup semi-final, Gullit a final, Dalglish a final (First in decades)+ Barcelona, Pardew 5th, Hughton inherited a cluster f*ck of a situation and could hardly have done better Roeder took over Souness mess and went from 6th bottom to 7th top in a couple months, tonking the mackems on way and presiding over Shearer's farewell McFaul was a total club legend before being a manager Ossie arguably set up the style Keegan built on and blooded youngsters many of whom went on the hold their own at the highest level for us Benitez relegation fodder promoted and established in midtable on nothing and gave the city/club pride and hope again Apart from the caretakers there's only Jim Smith as unimportant to NUFC's recent history as Bruce but he was an infinitely better man and manager in my book.

I'm sure he's had some nasty abuse that's not on, but I've not seen anything to suggest it's more than loads get, and it's not like he's some poor vulnerable soul. Feel like the embarrassing situation of everyone knowing he was getting sacked after takeover has partly kicked it off, but that's nothing to do with fans and didn't particularly cause more abuse. #IAmSteveBruce Edited October 21, 2021 by Inferior Acuña Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazarus Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Theres some serious sympathy for Bruce on facebook at the moment. Examples: https://www.facebook.com/GiveMeSport/posts/5072624696118034 https://www.facebook.com/TheFootyCommunity/posts/4733686670032100 https://www.facebook.com/TheFootyCommunity/posts/4733495076717926 https://www.facebook.com/goal/posts/10159985836703598 Theres no way these are genuine randoms from all over the country posting this crap. These accounts making posts have to bots, have to be. Hes being treated as some sort of national treasure who has been hard done by the worst fans on the planet. Or as some sort of war hero returning from some horrendous far flung theatre of war. The worship of him has come completely out of the blue. One post is even comparing to Guardiola. This has to be some sort of organised campaign against the club due to the change of ownership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza ladra Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) Of course it's out of hand. It's about the take over, not Bruce. When he was canned at Villa and Hull, nobody thought about it twice. My only thought was why the hell did they hire him in the first place.

Danh1 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) Funny as fuck how rattled the entire nation is by little old Newcastle. Steve Bruce ffs. He’s such a great manager and such a top bloke until you ask “would you have him at your club?” Worst manager in PL history. Woe is me attitude. Good fucking riddance.

cookidge Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) Football fans of all clubs are largely the same. There are of course events and incidents that can influence elements of a fan base or those outside of it, i.e. Chelsea fans are racist, scousers are victims, geordies are delusional and punch horses. It's all nonsense. There are always smaller elements of a group or fanbase that unfortunately exaggerate the sensibility of those that comprise the majority. People aren't that different in their response and reaction to things going on around them. If you put one set of supporters in the situation of another group of supporters it wouldn't be much different after a period of time. I despise all this 'holier than thou' that is permeating amongst the fans of other clubs at the moment. It's funny really. Newcastle, not a big club apparently, yet we're such a small club that the world and his wife has an opinion on us. They need to start looking inwards a bit more and fuck off while they do it.

midds Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Today's headlines are tomorrows memories, he'll be forgotten within a fortnight, the media just need topics to discuss. Ride it out and let the cunt fade into oblivion, it doesn't even matter. He's gone and will never be back, there will be something to replace the story with in the next few days and the population will forget about Steve Bruce completely soon enough.

Aye he’s a shit manager, but never really had much of a problem with him other than that. All this woe is me shite though? Fuck off, man. This is where I stand on him. Never liked the bloke, but wished him well in the future and found the clamour for his immediate sacking over the last two weeks to be a little distasteful in honesty. He'd even have had a slightly undeserved honourable footnote as the man who bridged the gap between Rafa and the consortium, keeping the club up when literally nobody else would take the job. But the last 48 hours has reminded me of what a petty, classless person he is at heart. Fuck him. Even the likes of Pardew had more dignity than this.
