mcmigo Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 We sack a manager about 3 times a year and now we are wetting ourselves as one is leaving having not been sacked. Get him gone, pocket a few quid from fat mike, let bully stabilise the whole thing again and work on getting a new man in by September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pastor Kidneys Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 1 hour ago, @owlstalk said: Sheffield Wednesday are braced for an official approach from Newcastle for their manager Steve Bruce, Sky Sports News understands. Wednesday boss Bruce is due to return from Portugal on Wednesday, and Newcastle are keen to have a new man in place to succeed Rafa Benitez by the time they fly to China to take part in The Asia Cup on Saturday. Sky Sports News understands that Newcastle see Bruce as a safe pair of hands and would get on well with Mike Ashley and the club's hierarchy. The 58-year-old former Sunderland boss is on a rolling contract at Wednesday and would cost only £1m in compensation. Bruce grew up a Newcastle supporter and it is believed that his dream is to manage his boyhood club. Relax everyone, he can’t fly to China Saturday as it’s the cricket World Cup final Sunday! 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But being stuck in an embargo and looking at mid table championship does him no favours. What budget will he get at newcastle .ashley in it for the money he doesnt give a fizz about the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouncing Owl Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Very disappointing if Bruce joins the Geordies. I wont blame him given his home town club come calling with higher wages and the chance to manage in the premier league again. The timing is terrible just 3 weeks before the season after he has already brought in 3 of his own players. Its a strange scenario as he's the perfect fit for us but for Newcastle, Im not sure. It's a big comedown for Newcastle fans to have Bruce in charge after Rafa. We are now just 3 weeks before the season and its looking like we will be without a manager and still under an embargo. We just cant see to get ourselves organised. We are always behind the game when the season starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIGHERSTATE Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 8 minutes ago, StudentOwl said: No. While I support the vehement opposition to those that preach impending doom every single day, once again the internet has created an environment where moderate concerns and criticisms are dismissed as "bedwetting". Big problem with a lot of posters on Owlstalk, moderate criticism or voicing concerns or even sometimes questioning is viewed as sacrilege. Speaking of religious imagery, I vaguely remember a bloke going on about building houses and foundations... something about foundations of sand. How apt. I think back on the words of the prophet Gladys Knight Go on now, go walk out the door Just turn around now 'Cause you're not welcome anymore Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye Do you think I'd crumble Did you think I'd lay down and die?

If he's flying to China on Saturday, he has to be appointed today and applying for a visa tomorrow to get it on a 24 hour rapid issue (unless he somehow has a multi-entry visa already in which case that doesn't apply).

Chansiri said he could have whatever budget he wants. He hasn’t got that. We are still under embargo. His boyhood club calls it’s a no brainier for him. Absolutely devastating for Wednesday but this is what happens when you have top managers at your club. Kick in the teeth. I'm sorry, but this is complete horesh*t. Bruce was told from the offset he had no budget to work with and was quoted on numerous occasions afterward stating that he was used to working under constraints. You have more faces than a town clock. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
