TRon Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 10 minutes ago, Unbelievable said: I've never really understood the hatred here if I'm being perfectly honest. I mean, he's a shit manager, but I can't blame him for taking the job after Ashley offered it. For me he's been nowhere near as obnoxious as Pardew who was the personification of everything bad Ashley stood for. Bruce is having us punch below our weight and he needs to be replaced, but I understand and respect that it will take some time and that Bruce and his crew are kept on while that is being sorted out. The only alternative was to make Bruce a sacrificial lamb and give Jones the reigns temporarily, but would that have worked? It won't be long now guys. Here's hoping the wave of optimism will carry the side to beat Spurs at the weekend and on an upward trajectory with a new DoF and manager to look forward to. Well, I'm with you on Pardew being more obnoxious, I won't ever detest a manager as much as I detested him. For me Bruce is just more pathetic and whiny. What really narks me about both of them is that they are frauds earning a living from being terrible at their jobs, mostly because they are British. I don't hate Bruce personally, just find it impossible to have even an ounce of respect for him. Hanging on for his payout despite being a multi-millionaire. Take your (our) money and bounce you fat fraud. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Those comments about the journos, man. Pathetic. How many other managers in top level football would behave like that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's another to be a shit manager and snidely shift blame to others, Not only that, he bolted from a team to take this job. He knew (or should have known) what he was getting into. Even that presser, no, no, no its not about me but then take a pop at the journos for speculating about him. Based on everything I've observed since he's come here he's shit manager with low character to boot.

Ben Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I was all for giving him a dignified send off this morning and supporting the team and the regime, however after his comments today, if we lose now there is only one man to blame and I hope he's gone by the time the Antiques Roadshow comes on.

duo Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) Consortium have made a shambles of this imo- totally out of touch if they don't realise HOW unpopular that decision would be to keep Bruce in charge. Feels like they've no plan and are making it up as they go along, which is strange considering how long this saga has been going in for.

Unless they’re doing things right and actually waiting for the right manager. 1 week into ownership and they’re a shambles, don’t know what they’re doing etc I’ll guarantee he’ll not be here in January. He would have been if Ashley was still here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bonk Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 What has surprised me the most is they've let him carry on like this. I'd have expected he'd be under some restraint from up top on how to conduct himself. He's fucking gone monday regardless of win or loss, these antics need to be left with our past owner and I suspect this reaction signifies his death knell. Get fucked or slapped, Steve Bruce.
