And as the squad got better we played better stuff. Brucey always forgets that when he bangs on about finishing positions. Rafas teams were championship level players playing well above there level. Yep. No doubt in my mind if rafa continued where he left off that team was never going to be where Bruce had us 90% of the season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He defends deep, we had lost Mitrovic up the pitch and we need a centre forward and some more players in. “But this is the way he has gone about it and been awful to watch. I hold my hand up and saw we weren’t great to watch, but how do I keep Newcastle United in the Premier League? That’s the brief.” (via/Up Front with Simon Jordan) mad how he’s oblivious to the fact Rafa to scrimp and scrape every transfer window. Literally had to give relegated WBA our striker Gayle so we could borrow Rondon off them. Ashley, for whatever reason, gave Bruce a bucket load of wedge in comparison. Not once did Bruce have to offload a player to fund a transfer window like Benitez (and all other previous managers before him) did under Ashley. Bruce hails his achievements of matching Rafas points tally or finishing in the same position or whatever it was. But he always glosses over the fact he had to spunk big cash on Joelinton, ASM and Wilson to achieve what Benitez achieved with Atsu and Joselu and Gayle or Rondon.

He was a useless, greedy cunt who didn’t give any other fuck other than taking the money. This is was what boils my piss about Bruce, much more so than his managerial abiliities. We've had managers here in the past (Ardilles, McFaul, Roeder etc.) who simply weren't good enough, or were managing in very difficult circumstances, and I bear them no grudges at all. Bruce on the other hand, is a shameless slug, who will throw anyone or anything under the bus to protect his reputation......his players, other managers, his own fanbase, he doesn't really care. His constant attacks on a decent man and far superior manager like Benitez were absolutely disgusting, but he got away with the gaslighting to some extent, because of his mates in the press and in the game, ably backed up by his idiot son and mouth-breathers among our support. Rafa got the club and the fans got him....and I think more than anything, this stuck in his craw and he couldn't help but show his other side. His rewrting of history since, especially about Howe, just sums the despicable cunt up to a tee. A dinosaur and a fraud, I despise the bloke. RIght up there with Souness for me.

toon25 Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Not to be dissecting the fat cunt, but he says in that podcast that he was 'fighting Daniel Levy off' Jack Grealish every summer.

It's bizarre as we scored plenty the second half of that season with some cracking wins Because, not just in football, people are lazy and lack independent thought, they hear something enough then it must be true.

Funny he fails to mention you had actually lost Rondon - the player of the season who Ashley refused to fork out for despite being desperate to stay and who was probably our most well rounded striker since Shearer besides Ba. What a fucking slug he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawK Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 I wouldn't say that Carver is even a manager tbh, he's a coach who's somehow landed the managerial post at both Toronto and a Cyrpriot team and walked into Newcastle because Ashley. Bruce our worst ever manager, Pardew my most hated and Carver for all intents and purposes is a good coach but just isn't cut out for management.
