Hhtoon Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 "Having finished last season in 12th place in the Premier League, and in the top six of the form table over the final nine fixtures, the club at all levels maintains a strong belief in its current squad. We have a talented and committed group of players who have shown that they are fully capable of delivering" No mention or praise of Bruce here, in fact they seem to pointedly avoid referring to him directly. Hopefully all is not happy in paradise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Maybe we could sell the Strawberry land that the club own, I bet that would bring in a few quid in these troubled times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Surely Bruce’s objections are just for show anyway? He knew we wouldn’t be buying any players when he took the job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) He’s been backed as much as any manager under Ashley since Allardyce when he first came in terms of being able to sign who he wants (Joelinton aside). If he hadn’t been so shite in ruining some players he might have been able to wheel & deal. I bet Ashley is foaming that in 3 summers his only saleable asset was Perez and that was down to the last guy. I really don’t see why he stands by Bruce.

Jaqen Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I think they know Bruce is a coward and will turn on them a bit when we're bottom of the league in a few weeks and he's getting all the abuse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 "We spent 120M* over the last 5 windows" * - actually, because of convoluted financing we have no idea what we've spent or earned, but 120 sounds nice Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happinesstan Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Could be Ashley trying to force Bruce to resign, like. He's not shy when it comes to constructive dismissals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 'We can't afford to spend big, it'll cripple us' Yeah? What do you think it's going to happen over the next 8 months you thick cunts? Relegations from the PL are notoriously cheap and not at all crippling to clubs these days. The club absolutely deserves to go down, it's beyond pitiful now. Let's see how that statement reads after the Man U game next weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon No9 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 What other areas have we ever spent money on under Ashley? It sure ain't the stadium or the training facilities! Where's the TV-money gone, Mike? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything about what they’ve done/say and continue to do/said is genuinely embarrassing. That they take delight in being a non entity is staggering. An absolute affront to what a sporting entity should be. And right where the PL / ‘Top 6’ clubs want us Everyone’s a winner. Except us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Classic timing this, from Ashley. Hand-grenade dropped, and two weeks until the next home game. Plenty time for any 'anger' to die down. Pathetic owner and club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Ignoring the patronising tone and self pity of the statement is delightful that they're that rattled by the criticism they've felt the need to explain their actions, it's tremendous. They're that needled and fucked off that refusing to invest adequately has caused a bit of uproar that they need to clarify their position. It's class Also demonstrates, yet again, that they're hurt and irritated when they're questioned. Thin skinned, ignorant and arrogant cunts stamping their feet. The whole "they're not bothered man, what's the point?" attitude of the DRONE ARMY is pathetic. They hate it. It works. So much, much more of it and they'll go. Simple.

Sima Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) Bruce fits this shithouse of a club perfectly. As fat yet as thin-skinned as the rest of the custodians. Of course the mainstream press (in fear of losing their access) will nod appreciatively and the ‘deluded, demanding Geordie’ myth will move in perpetuity.
