 We barely had a shot after the first 15 minutes, but aye the attacking football was our problem.

 

He's just another bitter cunt ex manager, along with all the others we hear on a weekly basis.

it's a weird lie to peddle especially when according to the PFMs Rafa was the most defensive manager since time began and yet somehow all these fans who bray for attacking football really liked him hmmm i wonder if there could be another reason for hating bruce and for him not having a clue besides the fan.

 

Fuck off to your immaculately appointed Spanish villa, sam.

I’m all in on Emery, he would give us a chance in any game with his ability to set teams up and despite us having a weak squad I think some of the players here would fit in well with how he sets teams up and plays the game.

What is his style of play for those of us that haven't seen much of his teams?

 

Is he high press and attacking or more pragmatic like Rafa?

I don't think it has to be just till the end of the season. I think we could appoint someone on an 18 month contract (at least), and be able to give them that time.

 

I don't think there'll be any sort of 'crazy' investment in the team in either january or the summer. Lots of change possibly, but measured recruitment, and it just needs someone to keep us up this season, and oversee the start of the changes.

Steady things / consolidate next season, make sure we aren't in a relegation battle again, then the summer after could be the start of the real push on.

Give them 2.5 years, target to build a solid top ten team, that can form the basis for our back up going forward.

Its more similar to Rafa I would say which with our current situation I think we need

Just “better” than Bruce is not the bar to set! ?

Aye. A slug is better than Bruce [at least it recognises itself as a slug]. But to be honest, any competent football manager would be an improvement, we just need a quite huge improvement.

The rest just want to walk in to a club with everything in place. 

They have a right to expect that, mind. If I'm offered a new job as Restaurant Manager, I want to know they have a fucking kitchen.

We have a kitchen, but it’s currently on fire.

 

The Restaurant Manager’s job will be easier the quicker someone puts it out.

"We want to be the world's top restaurant"

"With such ambitions you must have an amazing kitchen, I can't wait to see it"

"Oh you wouldn't believe it, we've got a sodastream and a waffle maker"

Aye, its a pity you can't coach some sort of balanced play, eh?? Its either park the bus or all out attack. There really is no middle ground.

 

Bruce has nailed the middle ground in that he’s too shit to park the bus and too shit as an attacking outlet other than give the ball to ASM & Almiron and get them to run with the ball for 60 yards.

[Dokko]

Bet at this point John Terry is in with a shout. 

[Scoot]

Please tell me he's gone this week. The longer he's here, the more damage is being done.

I think he would be gone today if we where anywhere close to having a new manager in charge tbh

The lack of urgency is starting to worry me slightly. 

 

He should have been gone by now whether a replacement is lined up or not.

[Happinesstan]

It's imperative that we make the correct decision. The lack of urgency could also be seen as a lack of panic. 

 

Two weeks ago we were set for relegation with Ashley, and Chorlton and the wheelies. Now there is a clear intention to update facilities [I'm sure they can be completed within a year] so things are better.

[Chicane]

Desperately need someone who can organize a defense.

[SUPERTOON]

I doubt we are close to naming anyone, a story that big wouldn’t get past the media 

[Menace]

Emery is a cracking manager, I feel he got harshly treated at Arsenal tbh. Would prefer him over Lampard/Gerrard/Howe

[Mikky]

Thing is - get a manager now - give him 2 games to get used to shite he’s been left with, then he has 2 weeks during the internationals to really get some proper work done with the group

Think he would be a great shout tbh, he's already had experience in the Premier which could be invaluable. Fonseca seems to be the other one who might be keen on the job, my only worry would be we don't have the players to go all out attack which seems to be his philosophy. Could be a dangerous game to play in our position.

I actually hate that I'm even suggesting this, but I wonder if Roy Hodgson might be a good shout for a purely til-the-end-of-the-season caretaker role.

Actually not a bad shout 

[Kid Icarus]

Honestly though, look at the managers who are out of work and you'll probably see why.  If they go for PL experience or a proven manager to avoid relegation and it's just for the interim, I'd probably have him over the alternatives.

They could do with some calls being returned.
The Independent has been told of how Amanda Staveley’s husband Mehrdad Ghodoussi attempted to get in touch with one big-name manager last week, only to be given short shrift. The coach, in short, had no interest in working with this Newcastle as it is and was puzzled by the nature of the approach.

Such circumstances were one big reason Steve Bruce was still in charge for Sunday’s match against Tottenham Hotspur, that ended with the ignominy of both ends of the ground singing “sacked in the morning”.

Need to get some football people involved pronto. I like that Mehrad is trying to get in a top manager though, as that is apparently his preference from the article. Might need some help from football people with contacts though.
