Did you have a contract? if so, presumably you would have given notice if you had decided to leave? Or would you have just walked and left them in the lurch?

mcmigo Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 We should hold firm and say no he can’t go. Then get Bruce to sign a new contract, wait until Newcastle appoint a different manager . Then in the same minute Newcastle do that, sack Judas Bruce and condemn this footballing gigolo to the scrap heap. Never hire grunt managers. Lesson learned. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pazowl55 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 9 minutes ago, September65 said: I for one hope Bruce stays. He has spoken to Newcastle, that's clear, but anyone in a normal job would want to do the same. You find out what's potentially on offer and make a decision whether to go or stay where you are. The act of speaking to a prospective employer doesn't definitively say you want to work for them. Exactly and what people are forgetting is that this is Premier League Newcastle (his club) we wouldn't even been having these conversations on here had Derby come in for him.

The Wall Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 No lose situation for Chansiri - we either get the right money from Ashley, or we keep Steve Bruce. Bruce doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would down tools if he didn't get his way, also what does it say about how much they want him if they won't pay a couple of million more for him.

Kanye West Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Chansiri won't be taken for a kipper, if Bruce goes we know for a fact we'll have got a good deal for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a slight problem with that, we would then have to pay compensation to Bruce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t bet against us holding him in his contract and paying him on gardening leave for a year. It’s not like we don’t have form for nonsense like that.

There’s no harm in looking at other people, even talking to them but as soon as you stick your c**k in them then theres a problem. Exactly! That's why I've always been a taker - less guilt!

@owlstalk Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I couldn't care less about whether we get 1m or 5m for Bruce I think personally that he's worth more than any of that to us as a football club. Right now he's key to success at SWFC Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kameron Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 It’s my understanding that Steve Bruce to #NUFC is nearly done! Rumour is compensation is £5m ! However Newcastle are asking for more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me is makes the amount of compo irrelevant to a degree If we lose Bruce we're left shuffling around the usual list of out of work losers So depressing Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animis Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 This 1-yr rolling contract - when did it start? I can't recollect having send he'd signed at the end of the season or 1st July, so something must have been written in when he joined in January. I imagine the compensation clause must have a sliding scale of value - so within 9/6/3 months of the end date the compo reduces accordingly?
