bigdan2003 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I’m not naive enough to think that the bloke wouldn’t want to take a massive pay rise and a chance to manage in the PL again. But given his interviews where he talked about his time at Villa, his parents, his mental well being + I’m fairly certain he even mentioned that money isn’t a everything to him. I’d lose a bit of respect for him for jumping into a poisoned chalice where he’ll be pelted from day one...all for money basically. I don’t buy into this “it’s his club” gonads. End of the day, how many times has he actually followed them during his busy career? Poor form. And I’ve no reason to not believe VGTips bloke, he broke the news he was being sounded out by Wednesday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmb Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 If he goes he goes, crap situation of course but very little we can do about it. It's been widely reported that the new Newcastle manager won't be able to add to his backroom staff so at least the coaching team minus the manager will stay in place. One thing I wont do is blam DC for this. Bruce might try to use the embargo rhetoric to cover his own snake like actions however he was fully aware of our situation as stated by himself in the press. Would prefer if he was just honest and said he wanted to move to his boyhood club. He's ultimately going to fail there though, the atmosphere is toxic. If he thought Villa fans were bad then wait until he walks out at St James Park! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those lining up already to give the chairman a kicking should it happen are quite frankly, pathetic. IF he goes we can all theorise depending on our respect or otherwise of DC Trying to be fair I say well done DC for getting bruce shame he's on a 1 yr contract (but that may be mutual) and that we seem to be yet again unable to spend due to P&S but a club with much more money who he supports he can prob mame his contract and make it his last job I dont blame Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that great a .job then? We can thank Rafa and his 12m a year for this as he supposedly warned Gerrard and Viera off the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said numerous times in here that Newcastle clearly isn't his club otherwise he'd have took the job before and not gone Sunderland. So if he leaves it's not because of that.

Bluesteel Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Very easy to say there are broken promises but he’s signed 3 and renewed 3. With a view to loans later. If he goes it’s for PL football, money and a chance to manage his team. He’s shafting us in the process also so those claims (if they have any substance) try and take the edge of that.

S1Owl Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Maybe Bruce thought all the financial stuff would've been sorted by now but agreed initially to the situation..Maybe DC told him it'd be sorted & it aint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 At the end of the day I just really don’t want us to lose the best manager we have had for many years. It would be a real kick in the teeth. Bruce is a manager the players seem to respect and want to play for. Even with the crap situation with regards embargo’s I was still looking forward and feeling optimistic for the coming season. If Bruce goes I fear what will happen next. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think its relevent. Newcastle have come out of the blue and approached him. Its a seperate issue that no one would have predicted. Bruce knew exactly the situation, hes clearly helped us through it. He brought in experience and knowledge of his time under FFP constraints with Villa.

Minton Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) Flip me, a lot of people are acting like he's already gone. Cool your jets until he's *actually* left, otherwise you'll be all flounced out before the real fun begins Edited July 10, 2019 by Minton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True - if Bruce does use the 'broken promises' line to explain his departure then I will lose a bit of respect too. Just admit it's a job you fancy in the top flight.

Guest wilyfox Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 What will be will be. If the worst happens we'll regroup and crack on. Will save myself some misery further down the line by simply accepting now that we aren't going up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
