TwoForJoy Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Brucie spot on as ever! When asked if he had held any dialogue with the powers that be about an ultimatum, Bruce told the Chronicle Live: "It is absolutely the biggest pile of ***** I have ever heard." Bruce has not held any meetings or talks with Mike Ashley, but is in regular conversation with managing director Lee Charnley. And with Eddie Howe's name spoken about as the potential next boss on Tyneside, Bruce feels some of the reporting has gone too far. Bruce said: "Some of it needs to be more measured. I give respect. When I see polls, the next manager and the fella from Bournemouth, I find it disrespectful, I have to tell you. Your paper (the Chronicle) was gunning for a manager that got a team relegated last year." Howe's name was initially mentioned in a comment piece in the aftermath of the League Cup exit at Brentford, and has since been used in articles about who the bookies feel is favourite to be next boss. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/must-read-steve-bruce-interview-19683863 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GavMcEl Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) don't know how to feel about this appointment tbh, if this was 2 months ago before the takeover and with Bruce in charge I'd probs be delighted... but with the takeover and current circumstances I do find it very underwhelming and it is hard to get excited about this appointment.... you cant undermine what he achieved at Bournemouth, taking a club from the bottom of the football league to the Premier League in 6 years is very impressive, and the fact he established them as a Premier League outfit is equally impressive, it is his last season in charge that scares me, they were Terrible, didn't they lose like 21 out of 27 matches ? that's a ridiculously bad record Steve Bruce levels of bad... and he was well backed to with funds, I really can't see how he's gonna set us up to grind out results to keep us from being cut adrift before we can buy players in January..... we really do need a DOF/SD/ Chief Executive or some one who has a footballing brain making decisions, because as good as the new owners are, this process has shown that they haven't got great footballing insight, never the less I will get behind Howe, the new owners and the team ⚫⚪ Edited November 4, 2021 by GavMcEl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raconteur Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Gotta say, after watching those Tifo and Sky clips of Eddie’s tactics, I fear for ASM. 4-4-2 (or 4-4-1-1) with narrow, up and back wingers - unless he can get a tune out of ASM as a #10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a big fan of Howe, as I say. But let's caveat this by pointing out they started that season on -17 due to going into administration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a risk this can go badly wrong like. I wish his last season hadn’t happened I used to love me some Hollywood Howe Oh aye, no doubt. And we pretty much only have 11 players good enough to start. Maybe 12. The team picks itself, or it should. No idea how no one seems to have since Rafa. We need to get that team playing every game, and performing to their best level. Its not a huge ask and I dont think we have the capacity as a club atm to attempt more. It might be uninspiring but I think Howe is equipped and experienced enough to do that. Even with any other manager I wouldnt expect anymore than still being a PL club at the end of the season. So I'm not going to expect more of Howe either. After that, though. That's when things change.
