Or Bruce stays and acts like no one contacted him (but the dodgy world of football probably says otherwise). It will be scenario one - with Bruce then sacked by Easter at the latest while we are languishing in lower mid table, leaving all parties with disappointment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is pretty depressing stuff Nearly as minimal as the odds of finding a bit of loyalty from a manager when someone is waving a quick short term buck at em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcx666 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Bruce does have a history of buggering off at the first sign of a bit more cash. less than a year at the pigs, less than 2 months at Wigan, less than 3 at Palace yadayada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spike1867 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I could think of worse appointments than Big Sam if he wanted it. He's a man manager, would probably convince Strudwick to stay as they Allardyce is huge advocate of sports science and analysis and the impact of pre season might not be as great. He'd be equally as connected in football circles to know the players that are required, I don't think he is a million miles away from SB's style of play either. Short term deal, big bonus for promotion...I'm clutching at straws really but whoever comes in if SB leaves needs to be experienced in Championship football. This will be no job for somebody to find their feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 People saying we'll be able to spend some of the Bruce compensation money might be in for shock. We are under close surveillance from the EFL and we might still not be allowed to spend it. The reality of being in an embargo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Mort AMB Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Reading whats been in the Chronicle about the takeover at NUFC , sounds more like a panic appointment to stop the price of the sale going down. It should be stressed there are other parties talking to Newcastle but with just four weeks until the start of the season – and barring a dramatic development in the coming days – it now raises the prospect of no change of ownership in time to impact on this season. Instead it could drag into the campaign with potential for other interested parties to come back to the table with Ashley lowering the price based on the potential risk of relegation. The alternative – that Ashley takes the club off the market – was raised last year but the owner seems reluctant to do that for now, and Newcastle must be braced for a furious fan backlash after a summer of discontent on Tyneside. Against that backdrop, punters have begun to place money on United to go down. Bet365's Steve Freeth said: "Newcastle are the best backed team in the Premier League Relegation market by a considerable margin. They've come in from 10/3 to 11/4.

The Night-Owl Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Everyone else seems to have the sense to say no due to being put off by how Rafa was treated, Ashley and the toxic dejected atmosphere of a fanbase fed up of Ashley and his buddies. You'd think Bruce would have the sense to say no or would be put off it too even despite being a fan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystic Neg Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Take a step back from being a Wednesday fan and see this for what it is. You're boyhood club desperately want you to manage them in front of 60k fans in the Premier League. He is a decent man and I'm sure he will be torn about going and I for one will miss his honest pressers and feel good factor he was bringing. Even with a limited squad I fancied us to challenge this year. With the same squad under a different lesser manager, like the previous 2 we could be in big big trouble now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonofbert2 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I'll tell you this for nowt, if he does go then I will never eat another kebab for the rest of my days. Even the smell of one would make me feel sick and bring tears to my eyes. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beauchief Owl Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Bruce wants to speak to NUFC. This should only happen if they agree beforehand to the compo. After that he might as well go and we move on. If DC blocks the move then we will have a dissatisfied manager which will benefit neither side.

Back then perhaps we were the bigger club? Maybe the lure of your local club is always a pull no matter the financial side of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
