He'll get whatever his contract says he's due for that (for the sake of argument, let's say it's the whole of the remaining year's salary) and he won't be managing Newcastle. Where's the business sense in that? Do you also believe it made sense not to take (an alleged) £2m bid for George Hirst, not play him, and end up with nothing? So far I'm yet to witness how this hardball approach to negotiating has benefited the club. The scenario you've presented is a bit silly. Who cares if Bruce manages Newcastle, this isn't a game of spite. Ultimately it comes down to what makes the best business sense, not whose balls are the biggest.

As far as Hirst is concerned, I;ve never heard a 2 mill bid, only 1 mill, and DC knew we would get more through a tribunal, only for Leicester to f*ck us over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor Plum Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Let's be reight here, Newcastle have form when it comes to poaching managers, upsetting the club they are currently employed by and eventually getting them on the cheap, Steve McClaren at Derby anyone?I seem to remember Derby doing a nose dive in form when it was plastered all over the press about Newcastles interest in McClaren, can't for the life of me remember how Derby finished up that year, did they just miss out?

djstatic Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 We are looking for £4.5 million in compensation for Bruce and £1.5 million for Clemence and Agnew. Massive chasm between what Ashley is willing to pay and what we want. This is not going to end well. We will end up with a bitter manager who doesn't want to work here anymore. This has to be up with the 2007 preseason for the worst one yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he is, always comes across that way. I think the Man U job was the wrong job for him, he should never have been offered it. Newcastle would be a good fit.

Where's the business sense in caving? If we accept a penny less than what's in the contract, people will know next time that we will do it again. This isn't analogous to an unrealistic player valuation. We know it's a realistic clause because Bruce signed it. This isn't about spite or posturing. It's about honouring a deal. The whole point of the clause is to deter poaching. Not going to comment on the George Hirst thing, it's not relevant to this.
