Maybe jumped the gun and went overboard on criticising DC with this one. We’ll see if anything emerges from the situation. Don’t doubt for a second that’s what Bruce has pushed out there as his excuse Is it true though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, let me log on to Owlstalk..... SB-Where do I sign Mike? Made me laugh that. I was just thinking along the lines of Laws interview saying how he thought Bruce would prefer to be at the club where he’s really wanted by the fan base. It’d be hard to call which club that is right now and he hasn’t even left yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe only Chris Houghton and if its not him as next manager think we might have to go for some not tested last this level. Hopefully not another foreign manager who has never managed in England before. It's very annoying. It all seemed to be clicking into place - I'm a firm believer in the right man at the right time. But… He's Steve Bruce, not Pep… The sun will rise tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a few vacancies and no-one else seems too interested, despite a relatively high profile for the lower leagues. Don't know much about them to be honest, what would they bring to the party? Danny Cowley was interviewed for the managerial position at West Brom and was odds on with the bookies to get the job. A compensation package of £500k was agreed with Lincoln and at one point it was said that he would be appointed within 24hrs - then nothing happened, not sure what went on?

A job he’s always wanted, move back closer to his wife and family, more pay and one last shot at the Premier League. He’s 58, not far off retirement age. Bruce is no mug and this is a fantastic opportunity for him to get out and end his career closer to home. His wife and family are in Cheshire 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldishowl Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I don’t believe we will be getting anything like 5 million for the simple reason I can’t see Ashley paying that for Bruce. He is his cheap option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Be interesting if Bruce does say anything about why he left if indeed he does, was he promised things that didn’t materialise, signings, getting deals done. Or perhaps he will just play the whole it’s his dream job and this would be the last chance to manage “his club” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewookieisdown Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 It's bad news but there is a reason why Newcastle fans are appalled by this. It isn't exactly like losing Big Ron all those years ago. We move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would look bad slagging off club he has just walked on after Wednesday bent over backwards for him to get him to come here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet Simon Jordan wasn't very loyal to manager either after a 2 or 3 bad results. its football though everyone in it knows how fickle it is.
