Earlsfieldowl Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 (edited) It’s the club he has always supported and they are in the Prem. I don’t blame him for wanting another crack at it - but the timing stinks and it needs sorting ASAP so all can move on. if it was his agent that instigated it then that says more about the state of the game than about Bruce himself. is what it is I’m afraid Edited July 14, 2019 by Earlsfieldowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morepork Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I actually think most are more annoyed at the situation and timing. Also, to compound matters, they are unable to see the appeal of a club run by Mike Ashley. Yes it's his home town club but lets not forget he's previously turned them down twice when they were arguably in much better shape. Bruce, whilst entitled to put his own interests first should accept the consequences of those actions, as should the club trying to sign him. I have no ill feeling towards Bruce but I think he has shown a lack of integrity from the moment the interest from Newcastle became a reality. He could and should have made a short and truthful statement, instead he chose to wait silently in the hope we'd get rolled over by the fools that currently run Newcastle and he'd be able to slip away.

SiJ Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 (edited) The thing which irks is that in all likelihood this has been on the cards for a few weeks. I don't buy for one minute that Bruce only became aware of the interest a few days backs. If you believe the Mirror, then he's already earmarked Graham Carr as his new head scout. The impression I get is Ashley, Bruce etc thought this would be resolved relatively quickly once it got out to the press. They could turn the screw a bit and we'd let him go off to China with Newcastle. Things haven't quite panned out like that and now we are in a state of flux. The impasse threatens to derail both clubs seasons before they've even got going. No hatred for Bruce, but a fair bit of disappointment and anger. Yeah, it is how modern football works, but that doesn't mean we have to like it. Edited July 14, 2019 by SiJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reallondonowl Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I agree with all of that SiJ. I cannot help feeling that Bruce is making a big mistake. As someone posted on Twitter, Bruce left a club 6 months ago where the fans hated him to join a club where the fans had started to love him and now some are starting to hate him only to leave to join a club where the fans already hate him before he has arrived. If he does go there, he will be tarred as the guy propping up a regime which the fans detest. It runs so deep that even if he does keep them up with no real prospect of signing anyone (the usual rumours about a well established defender and a striker form overseas which are circulated every year to sell season tickets should be seen as just that - rumours), then he might earn a decent wage. The fans will never forgive and forget regardless of what he does as it will be perceived as doing it for Mike rather than fo them. Also, he will see Mike once every blue moon and simply be passed pieces of paper with decisions on them. Compare that to DC providing him everything he has asked for and there is simply no comparison. Let's never forget that one individual is nowhere near as big as the club. If we need to get back to the sort of basics where it is not only an honour to pull on the shirt but it is a real honour to manage/coach our team, then count me in. I want more than anything to get back to watching Premier `League football and seeing us on MOTD every week, but more importantly I want to see the soul of the club again. I do not want success at any price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re purely speculating too. Do you know why he’s left? Do you know how much money he will be on at Newcastle? No you don’t. If rumours are to believed he’s actually moving for less money, but bigger bonuses. Hardly greedy if true? no one is speculating any more than you are. The man is leaving us at the 1st chance 3 weeks from the new season. He is a Judas alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eightace Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 It's not really hate. People are very disappointed as getting someone of Bruce's calibre isn't easy. I think he should stay and he will fail at Newcastle and he must know it. There's a reason Raffa left and why nobody has been able to succeed there.Bruce is a man to get you there but not been outstanding in the premier league. A few annoyed posts and people just exaggerating their displeasure cos it's the internet isn't really hate. But people are annoyed so what else are they going to say.

daveyboy66 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 (edited) The thing is that the Newcastle fans don't want him and like Realllondon says he will be seen as propping up Ashley who they detest..I can't see anything other than it ends up in tears for Bruce because as a boyhood fan of the club the last thing he wants to happen is being hated by the fans...I just don't get it because it's not like he's going for a shedload of money.

Westfield Owl Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 OP is bang on the money. Bruce actually hasn’t done anything wrong and we’ll be worst off without him. The abuse towards the club’s manager, for having his head turned, has to stop. The harsh truth of the matter is that the Wednesday job under an embargo, just isn’t that much of a pull. Especially not in comparison to a Premier League gig. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute BullshiT...how you can say he’s done nothing wrong is beyond me...he knew what he was getting into and had time to consider it in the time we gave him to grieve and get his head together.

This happens all the time in football, we’re just not used to it. We hardly went to the moon and back to get him like some are claiming. He told us he would take the job, but can only start in February. We were happy to wait for him. We could have found someone else who was in a position to start straight away, but we wanted Bruce. It’s not as if he forced us to wait. In his short time here he has trimmed the squad, got rid of the deadwood and made some key extensions and signings. All whilst under a transfer embargo, which is absolutely none of his doing. Not to forget he helped turn last season around after the absolute mess we saw under Jos. Played some decent footy and had us in with a shout of the play offs up until the penultimate game. Not bad going. He’s left to join a Premier League club, one which he has wanted in the past. Why are we getting so butthurt? It’s a shame for us, but this isn’t the first pre season under Chansiri which has been shrouded in controversy and uncertainty. Perhaps just maybe there is more to this than Bruce being an ungrateful and arrogant man out to damage Sheffield Wednesday and it’s fans? He’s not a villain. Are you still of the same opinion ? Because if so, I would be willing to guess that you are in a very, very small minority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still i’ll take it for what it is. Manager leaves club for a club in a higher division. Bruce clearly wants to leave. It happens as frustrating as it is. We just need to draw a line under it and move on ASAP. The longer it drags on the more messy it will get, and that will end up impacting us even more on the pitch.
