Fan clearly heard asking SB ‘are you staying?’ Brice nodded his head and smiled Not totally convinced that was a nod of agreement to be honest. Look more like a nod of, 'yeah right, i'm going to tell some bloke who asked from the stand how it is'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbelly Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Bar sky sports news it’s hardly been wall to wall coverage has it? The few articles about it are full of ambiguous language & speculation. This story’s been driven by local press, bookies, Twitter & a fan base hunting down every scrap of info, extrapolating from that & posting on social media. The national press have largely ignored the story which tells you they aren’t as convinced as some & ssn has 24 hrs of airtime to fill so will flog owt to death. I want Bruce to stay, he’s made no comments about wanting to leave & neither club have said a thing. This story’s mostly happened in our heads & on social media.

I've just been arrested for having a dump in Sports Direct changing room. Police are being nice to you letting you have your mobile, guessing they want you to get updates on match. Good lads. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But let’s not forget the last time this happened under Big Ron we finished 3rd and ended up in 2 Cup Finals 3 years later. Bruce was a great pick for where we are at present, but there are other football managers available. True but we were full of confidence at the time, riding high on the back of promotion and our first domestic cup success in 50 years. Francis was promoted from within and had a vast knowledge of the game and the respect of the squad at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Night-Owl Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Either way, hopefully it's all over and done with? If he stays, will it be the same and what if another (better run club than Newcastle) come calling? I'm wary whether he stays or goes. Wary because will it be the same after his head was turned and wary if he did go, who we'd get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A E Neuman NYowl Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Steve Bruce's agent will be the problem now, if Wednesday don't match what Newcastle offered Bruce and his agent he will be using every trick in the book to instigate a move.

Animis Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 In all this, what we should remember is SB is only a temporary appointment at Hillsborough in the first place. The 1 year rolling contract reflects this, with both parties presumably happy with the arrangements which says to me we are hoping he gets us promotion and if not he'll move on with our best wishes by the end of the season if not before. I never thought he was a long term appointment, unless he does get us promoted, then all this starts again as his stock will have increased and he'll be out of contract with no compo restrictions.
