S36 OWL Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Nice of Bruce to show the aame loyalty the club showed him by waiting for him to join us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve done nothing wrong and are entitled to try and get any manager they want. The blame lies firmly at Steve Bruce’s door. If this happens, so soon after the way DC accommodated him, it’s scandalous. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) I really do think Bruce would have been the man to take us back to the Premiership. Absolutely gutted all the signs are pointing to him going. Massive massive set back. Personally I think Bruce is making a big mistake, the stress and abuse he will get up there will be horrible.

Proper leader is Bruce. What a turn coat. Doubt he’ll be seen, he will know full well what’s he’s done and the atmosphere he will be given bad form if he leaves it to Agnew or Clemence , id tell them all to stay away and let Bullen and Weaver take the team to Lincoln Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They shouldn’t talk to another clubs manager until agreement has been reached on compensation. If supposed reliable journalist is to be believed they are going to be talking to Bruce in Newcastle today before even approaching us. Sounds wrong to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrev Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 So inspite of our precarious league position when Luhukay left, we gave Bruce time to spend with his family and get over a series of personal problems. We waited for him knowing that he needed this time off from the game and gave him the space he asked for convinced he was the man for the job. When he was ready to come back into the game we gave him a contract worth £2m a year and allowed him to put in place his own recruitment staff, fitness staff and coaching staff at the club. We ignored the criticism of Bruce from various national media pundits such as Danny Mills and Ruud Gullit because some things are bigger than football. I know there is no loyalty in football but just 6 months after taking the job he comes to the chairman and asks to go to Newcastle even though there doesn't appear to have been an official approach (suggesting he could have been tapped up) and after the way we treated him when he first came here? If this is true he can f**k off right now for me, Chansiri needs to squeeze Mike Ashley for as much compensation as he can, send Bruce on his way and go all out to bring Chris Hughton to the club. If he doesn't want to be here, we don't want him here IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every club taps up players and managers and that’s why such stories go no where. Bruce has the chance to kill this story after the match this week. Said before that the ‘spin’ here will be Bruce saying DC has gone back on promises etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmigo Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 In an unexpected twist, Bruce is leaving us to take charge of OH Leuven, a little known Belgian 2nd division club. By coincidence the compensation clause in his contract states it is only due if Bruce leaves for an English club. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Bruce will make himself look stupid now if he starts talking about ‘broken promises’ Bet the accounts been published and embargo lifted has come at a bad time for him now, and wouldn’t be surprised if chansiri has released them today on purpose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
