TRon Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 This is the first time this season I have believed he will get sacked. It should have happened two months ago, but Mike wanted to cling on as long as we weren't in real danger. I think this result has left him with little choice. Not only such a resounding defeat in a high stakes game, but the abject manner of it. There's no way Ashley can leave him in charge without showing an obvious disregard for the club and city. He has to sack Bruce even if it's with a heavy heart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 He’s going nowhere. There will be a puff piece in Monday’s Chron that he retains the support of the owner and the thunbheeded roaster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 NUFC not Ashley's primary concern at the moment, with other business ventures needing more focus. So expect Bruce to get the next few games to turn things around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has to sack Bruce even if it's with a heavy heart. Sorry but that’s rubbish. He showed a obvious clear disregard for the club and city the moment he let Benitez walk away and appointed Steve fucking Bruce. As if he cares about showing a clear disregard for the club man he’s been openly doing it for 13 years now and been allowed to get away with it so why would he care now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I feel like his not getting sacked should trigger some sort of action from the league ie we're a rudderless ship without a fucking captain. How can you let someone with such absolute disregard for a club, city and league continue to own a club. It's wild that Ashley just gets to keep being the owner. Precedent needs to be set for the health of the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As if he cares about showing a clear disregard for the club man he’s been openly doing it for 13 years now and been allowed to get away with it so why would he care now He appointed Steve Bruce because he was a Geordie, and he brought with him one of our OWWNN!! Andy Carroll to pacify the misty eyed locals. He spent good money on Wilson, Maximan and £40m on a striker as insurance to stay up. Brewcie only had to avoid relegation and he'd have been set for as long as he wanted to stay here, but now Ashley will realise Steve Bruce's 20 years as a respected English football manager is just fiction perpetuated by the media.

thomas Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Jones' appointment makes little sense if he's not the ripcord ready to be pulled, unless - and I heavily doubt it - he truly was a Bruce appointment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amazing thing is people are genuinely questioning whether the initial "9 days off" comment is legit. Says everything you could possibly say about this utter cabbage.

loki679 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Can we not sack him for gross misconduct for shoulder barging an employee? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Might put him on Gardening leave and put Jones in charge. They are all knackers though. Best bet we sack Steve, Steve and Steve and keep Jones to shepherd in a new manager. We will be sat here after the Spurs game saying the same thing.

nufcjb Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 If we're just going to give it to Jones, I'd rather just let Bruce have the relegation of his boyhood team attached to his name forever. The fact that some idiots like Sherwood have said that even if we replace Bruce and are safe, Bruce should still get credit, I can't fathom Bruce himself bragging that his hardwork kept us up. Would be nothing to do with the players. Would just be all about his 25 years of experience s***. Though I do think if we have Wilson and ASM back and Jones in charge, it would be better than Bruce having them back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 It really is a sad state of affairs where people want Bruce to remain as manager, just so we can hold him fully accountable and claim one up on certain pundits. In the event of relegation Bruce will either have the brass neck to say he is the best man to bring us back up, or he will slope off back to Cheshire even richer and not giving us a second thought. This is a man who has displayed zero loyalty throughout his managerial career. As for the likes of Merson and Sherwood, does anyone really give a fuck what these cretins think. They certainly don’t care what we think and even in event of relegation would just change the narrative to Ashley and fans. Nobody absolutely nobody with this clubs best interests at heart should want this bloke still employed by the end of today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
