If he was offered it and didn't take it, I'd seriously question his drive and ambition to be honest. All that said, I very much doubt Newcastle will be interested in Bruce; he's not done much at the top level as a manager and he'd cost them compensation. But to play Devil's advocate, Ashley isn't looking for a manager who's done much at the top level. Ashley's sole remit is to have a manager who'll keep them in the Prem If the takeover doesn't go through he's looking for a manager who can achieve the bare minimum of keeping them in the prem on a shoe string budget. He doesn't care if they finish one place above relegation, so long as they don't go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aingarth Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Telegraph Sport today has Bruce as favourite to go to Newcastle with Moyes and Dyche as next favourites with Mourinho and Gattuso as outsiders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still reckon he's more likely to go for an out of contract manager, or depending on compensation - and as you rightly say, a manager who can do wonders on buttons - Wilder over at United would be a very shrewd appointment.

Doctor Duran Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Wilder has exercised a clause in his contract to re-negotiate his contract, no doubt due to promotion. Obs knows he can get better elsewhere so wants to push a better deal. Was close to getting WBA job and double his salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he decided to remain committed to Sheffield Wednesday then I don’t think I’d question those things to be honest. None of us have got the first idea about his drive or ambition, or how much he wants to manage his hometown club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was a driven and ambitious football manager, and a Premier League club came knocking at the door of my current employers - Championship mid-table and in a financial pickle - and said they wanted my services, I'd jump at the chance; even more so if it was my home town club and I'd see my salary doubled/trebled, manage in front of 50k, managing far superior players and a far bigger budget, and playing against some of the best teams in the world.

Well we know exactly what you would do in that situation then. I’d run a mile from working with Mike Ashley, home town or not, and would prefer to challenge for promotion in the Championship than struggle against relegation in the Premiership. Neither of us are Steve Bruce though so who knows what his drives and ambitions are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a league where teams finishing mid table, usually lose more than they win and average around a goal per game over the season, hardly stunning form to be proud of.
