Popular Post Paddyowl Posted July 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) Sorry if the Pope's dead......good read though More on Steve Bruce, Sheffield Wednesday & Newcastle ESPN reporter Dale Johnson has posted this excellent thread on Steve Bruce and Newcastle. Dale Johnson ✔@DaleJohnsonESPN A thread here on Steve Bruce, what it means for Sheffield Wednesday and why, however this is spun in his and/or Newcastle's favour in the national media, his actions could have ruined the season before it's begun. #swfc #nufc 103 12:16 PM - Jul 16, 2019 Twitter Ads info and privacy 62 people are talking about this Dale Johnson ✔@DaleJohnsonESPN · 1h Replying to @DaleJohnsonESPN By leaving Wednesday, Steve Bruce has chosen to give up one of the safest jobs in the league. He had the unanimous support of the fan base, and of the club's owner. But he's a "local lad from Newcastle", so he had no choice? #swfc #nufc Dale Johnson ✔@DaleJohnsonESPN Except Bruce has said no to Newcastle twice before, and chose to manage Sunderland. Most were well aware of his "loyalty issues." But for him to jump ship after just 18 games, after the club allowed him a month to watch England in the Windies, is going to rankle. #swfc #nufc 12 12:18 PM - Jul 16, 2019 Twitter Ads info and privacy See Dale Johnson's other Tweets Dale Johnson ✔@DaleJohnsonESPN · 1h Replying to @DaleJohnsonESPN Make no mistake. Anyone who didn't realise before that Steve Bruce only looks after Steve Bruce has got a rude awakening. Many Wednesday fans have rightly been left feeling very hurt and bitter. #swfc Dale Johnson ✔@DaleJohnsonESPN The first issue: Reports (if true) that it was Steve Bruce's agent that approached Newcastle after Rafa Benitez left, and openly courted the job. Shows pretty much zero commitment to the job in hand. #swfc 14 12:19 PM - Jul 16, 2019 Twitter Ads info and privacy See Dale Johnson's other Tweets Dale Johnson ✔@DaleJohnsonESPN · 1h Replying to @DaleJohnsonESPN The second, killer issue: That Bruce said he spoke to Newcastle out of "respect". Respect for whom? Certainly not the club that had given him a route back into the game after be was sacked by Aston Villa. #swfc #nufc Dale Johnson ✔@DaleJohnsonESPN Bruce once said: "One of the reasons why I am here is due to the quite unique band of fans. If you are honest and straight with them they will support their club." He certainly wasn't that when he resigned on Monday morning. #swfc #nufc 25 12:20 PM - Jul 16, 2019 Twitter Ads info and privacy See Dale Johnson's other Tweets Dale Johnson ✔@DaleJohnsonESPN · 1h Replying to @DaleJohnsonESPN Bruce was well aware of the FFP issues at Wednesday when he joined, and while the 'soft embargo' probably went on longer than he was expecting he was still allowed to sign three new players in that period. #swfc #nufc Dale Johnson ✔@DaleJohnsonESPN Borner, Odubajo and Harris were all training with the club before signing their contracts, so it was clear they were always coming in the door. No doubt Bruce will use the embargo as a defence for his actions. #swfc #nufc 5 12:20 PM - Jul 16, 2019 Twitter Ads info and privacy See Dale Johnson's other Tweets Dale Johnson ✔@DaleJohnsonESPN · 1h Replying to @DaleJohnsonESPN So Bruce will go into a similar situation on Tyneside, except most of the fans are going to resent him from the off for being "Ashley's yes man". Polar opposite to what he is leaving behind. Night and day. #swfc #nufc Dale Johnson ✔@DaleJohnsonESPN So what if Wednesday are reportedly going to get £4m for Bruce and his coaches. Sounds like a great deal financially, and it probably is, but the knock-on effects are so much more damaging. #swfc #nufc 9 12:21 PM - Jul 16, 2019 Twitter Ads info and privacy See Dale Johnson's other Tweets Dale Johnson ✔@DaleJohnsonESPN · 1h Replying to @DaleJohnsonESPN Wednesday start their German tour on Thursday and play their first Championship game in just 18 days, and now they have no manager and have lost the two main first-team coaches. It's left a huge hole. #swfc #nufc Dale Johnson ✔@DaleJohnsonESPN Chris Hughton has reportedly turned down the club, which leaves Wednesday scratching around for a manager from somewhere, and that man has to try and put his mark on the squad both in tactics and trust in a matter of days. #swfc #nufc 6 12:22 PM - Jul 16, 2019 Twitter Ads info and privacy See Dale Johnson's other Tweets Dale Johnson ✔@DaleJohnsonESPN · 1h Replying to @DaleJohnsonESPN Note "the squad" and not "his squad." Because Steve Bruce has already released and signed players based around his plans for the season. Who knows what the the new manager will think of these players. #swfc #nufc Dale Johnson ✔@DaleJohnsonESPN Will the new manager be experienced in English football? Or will it be another left-field foreign appointment? And will whoever comes in affect the unity of the fans after it went so wrong under Luhukay? #swfc 5 12:23 PM - Jul 16, 2019 Twitter Ads info and privacy See Dale Johnson's other Tweets Dale Johnson ✔@DaleJohnsonESPN · 1h Replying to @DaleJohnsonESPN Bruce's defection leads to so many questions about the direction of the club, and whether the new man will have control of transfers. It's left a gaping hole with so little time to fix, and fix well. #swfc Dale Johnson ✔@DaleJohnsonESPN The transfer window also closes in just over three weeks, leaving the new manager limited time to assess his squad and make signings - even if there is any space in the squad for this after Bruce signed three. #swfc 6 12:23 PM - Jul 16, 2019 Twitter Ads info and privacy See Dale Johnson's other Tweets Dale Johnson ✔@DaleJohnsonESPN · 1h Replying to @DaleJohnsonESPN It's worth mentioning, too, that this season's Championship does not appear as strong as in some previous years. So a club which has everything in line could challenge. With Bruce, this seemed possible. Without? Who knows. #swfc Dale Johnson ✔@DaleJohnsonESPN It means a summer of optimism has been pretty much thrown away, leaving doubt and uncertainty. Wednesday fans have EVERY RIGHT to be furious. No matter how it is spun by Bruce's mates in the national media. #swfc 23 12:24 PM - Jul 16, 2019 Twitter Ads info and privacy See Dale Johnson's other Tweets Dale Johnson ✔@DaleJohnsonESPN · 1h Replying to @DaleJohnsonESPN The only bright spot is that this has unified the chairman and the fans over his stance on Bruce (even if the club are publicly not mentioning anything about this). One thing Chansiri won't allow it to be trampled over financially. #swfc Dale Johnson ✔@DaleJohnsonESPN What comes next? No one has got a clue. From what seemed like a well-planned preseason with a coaching team and squad as one, Wednesday have got what they always seem to get. A preseason of utter chaos. Thanks, Steve. Enjoy your dream job (however long it lasts). #swfc #nufc 48 12:27 PM - Jul 16, 2019 Twitter Ads info and privacy 18 people are talking about this https://www.101greatgoals.com/news/after-steve-bruce-quit-sheffield-wednesday-bruno-genesio-may-become-newcastles-manager/ Edited July 16, 2019 by paddyowl 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way is S6 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Good summary of exactly what a selfish cnt SB is / has been. DC found us a good manager in time for a good pre season with some new names coming in & the tw@ has thrown it all back in our faces & left us up sht creek with 3 weeks until kick off. What a fkr. DC gave him that early time off as well. Talk about fkng somebody over. I hope the fat idiot gets dogs abuse up there from day one. Two faced cnt. Morals of a snake.

dewsburyowl58 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 He’s just a conman , bullsh@tting his way through doesn’t have a loyal bone in his body don’t want a man like that managing our club I'm actually pleased he has gone , look forward to watching his demise at Newcastle .

unkastav Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 The only consolation out of of this will be watching fatboy age rapidly over the next few months as the geordie abuse gets worse and worse, knowing its all his own fault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His true colours have now been seen. Think once he is appointed most Newcastle fans will at least give him benefit of the doubt for while, probably about 3 games.

barmyowl1212 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 If anything as well its made us fans look like dicks as most wanted him before Jos was sacked and made it clear to DC. Now our choice has gone it Makes you think you dont know what to think and when you have thought about it you are none the wiser. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were all chuffed that DC appeared to have listened to fans, but at the end of the day DC's not going to cave in if he doesn't agree. Short of something bizarre happening that you can't really legislate for, like this shockingly unprofessional behaviour, Bruce looked a good bet all around. It's nobody's fault except Bruce's - and Ashely's to an extent - not DC's, and certainly not ours for being enthusiastic. If anything it's made us look righteous, and moreover it's united club and chairman in a way we've not quite had for a couple of years now. If there's a silver lining, it's that. 7 minutes ago, barmyowl1212 said: Now our choice has gone it Makes you think you dont know what to think and when you have thought about it you are none the wiser. Anybody who's supported Wednesday for more than 10 minutes and doesn't already know this is 100% certifiable IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarn owl Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 All very true. I have no defence for Bruce on the way he has resigned and just bent to the will of Ashley. Rather than wait with professionalism for the compensation to be agreed and for Wednesday to agree to the move. Not really forgivable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
