Optimistic Nut Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Is there literally a worse life situation than Steve Bruce being so shit that he costs your club a chance to be one of the best around. This club might actually be cursed it’s unfathomable how shit things happen so frequently It’s annoying as fuck. There’s continental Head Coaches who’d probably come to the Premier League on Bruce-like wages and do an infinitely better job, and could have done better with recruitment if we’d had a DoF. We could have been a decent mid-table club even on the budget Ashley has set out over the last 18 months but he royally fucked it with this appointment. Not that he cares but he could have still had a half content fanbase even after the Rafa situation if he’d treated us like a proper football club.

nbthree3 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 You remember when it was reported Charnley spent 2 weeks looking for a "young, continental coach" - we ended up with Bruce (we spent four million pounds getting him in!) who is everything against that mantra. https://offthepitch.com/a/newcastle-bosses-look-outside-britain-new-manager-after-benitez-leaves "Charnley is well-connected outside Britain and it seems likely he would fancy a young promising continental manager."

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 It'd be really nice to know the metric by which Bruce was appointed? Can only assume it was to make sure that there was no criticism of the club from the manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantail Breeze Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 So that’s two journalists now who are basically saying nothing is happening and won’t happen until many, many hurdles are overcome (some massive political issues in KSA/Qatar which have no movement on, a club case against the PL which is dragging on and on and a possible relegation drawing closer). With the relegation issues, we have more hurdles being put up than ones coming down. Yet we have idiots like Keith screaming for likes telling us to ‘wait’ every month. Fuck off. This takeover is further away then it ever has been and unless a lot of very complicated issues are resolved, it’s completely dead. People talking about these issues like they’re minor bumps that’ll be resolved soon need to wake up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only assume it was to make sure that there was no criticism of the club from the manager. He was 11th choice. We were desperate and he fulfilled a ‘hometown’ criteria that MA/Charnley hoped would appease the fans after Rafa leaving. Sadly, his managerial ability wasn’t a driving factor.

Facundo Ferreyra Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Is there literally a worse life situation than Steve Bruce being so s*** that he costs your club a chance to be one of the best around. This club might actually be cursed it’s unfathomable how s*** things happen so frequently It’s annoying as f***. There’s continental Head Coaches who’d probably come to the Premier League on Bruce-like wages and do an infinitely better job, and could have done better with recruitment if we’d had a DoF. We could have been a decent mid-table club even on the budget Ashley has set out over the last 18 months but he royally f***ed it with this appointment. Not that he cares but he could have still had a half content fanbase even after the Rafa situation if he’d treated us like a proper football club. I remember hearing that Bruno Genesio was rumoured to be in negotiations to take over when Rafa left. I had absolutely no fucking idea who he was but I was hoping he'd sign on purely because he wasn't Steve bastard Bruce. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomson Mouse Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 It was always going to happen the way Edwards goes on, there’s plenty of tools out there. I’ve got no problem with him backing Bruce but he’s literally been goading the fans over it to the point it’s ridiculous. Do that and you’ve got to expect to attract a nugget eventually.
