Lets not forget coaching staff have lost jobs, players released and players signed on the back of Bruce. The impact is huge, and whichever way this situation is spun, Bruce has come out it really badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 That line really annoyed me “out of respect” where the hell is the respect for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Just now, Lawrie Madden said: He doesn't and i don't know Bruce, i presume neither do you, so don't know why he felt he should other than the fact that he's interested in taking the job which is a fact we all know No I don't know him and it doesn't matter that I don't. When you do something 'out of respect' it's because you want to uphold some admiration or honour to someone as you'd be rude if you didn't. Like an obligation. He chose to respect Newcastle and disrespect Wednesday, who he actually does have an obligation (contract) to. It's nothing to do with him wanting the job or not. It was a cheeky monkey thing said by a man acting like cheeky monkey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gizowl Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Bruce should have been contacted by DC first, telling him they'd asked for permission to speak to him and DC had reluctantly agreed as they were prepared to pay any compensation due, so the fact he went to meet them without official consent doesn't look good on him, and his dog must have been fuming waiting for its walk,hope it shat all over the house.

marshy Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 The bloke has nowhere to go has he really after his comments today. I wonder if he knows Ashley is going to cough up after the weekend? He's going to look bloody stupid at Northampton if there's still no deal. At this rate Brexit will be done before this is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morepork Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Makes you laugh doesn't it. "Had to speak to them out of respect" like there was no choice in the matter. I read he'd turned them down twice in the past, did he not respect them then???? Let's be frank, they are less respectable under Ashley than they have ever been!

I disagree The point they tried making was picking a club he has obvious affinity with and is one of if not the biggest club in the world and trying to stupidly juxtapose an offer to manage them as opposed to us a club he has no affinity with and to make an equivalency between the two which doesn't exist I could easily do the same thing in reverse and ask if he would have done the same if say QPR had come knocking ...........its a pointless comparison as was the Man U one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S72 Owl Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Not said much on this all week because I was waiting until the club made a statement or an interview from Bruce. I’ve only read what Dom Howson put on twitter and if there his exact words I must admit I’m quite disappointed in Bruce. Clearly wants a move and basically told us he’s only staying here if he can’t get a better offer elsewhere. Hopefully it will be sorted by Monday and we can get our new manager in place before we fly out to Germany. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just struggle to see how any Wednesday fan could support Bruce after all this. He won’t be here for long, and we need to move on ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouncing Owl Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Very disappointed with that interview. Why does he need to respect Newcastle? We pay his £2m pa wages. Hes done this 4 times before and whilst I thought he was a ‘good guy’, he’s quite clearly got no morals or scruples and he’s just in it for himself and the money. Lets get top dollar for him and bring Hughton in asap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WatfordOwl Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I think people are missing the fact that it's Mike Ashley's shythousery manner that this has stemmed from. Going to the press and telling them that Bruce is desperate for the job is about as underhand as it gets. It could have played out in a completely different way had he not. If he'd approached Chansiri asking for permission prior to anything hitting the press, then it's completely different imo. Bruce isn't blameless in this, but he's essentially in a position where Mike Ashley has virtually announced him leaving before he has. The club should be complaining about him being tapped up because it seems to be about as blatant a case as I've ever seen. I'd love to see this end in tears for Ashley, and Bruce tell him where to stick the offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
