matthefish2002 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Think Bruce is a better manager than Monk but still think we would be a club going into reverse if he was in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigthinrob Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Think it was a one off situation where the club he supported came in for him & he was tempted. Wouldn’t happen again & he defo wouldn’t pick Lees before Iorfa & Borner, so yeah I’d have him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You prefer the 2 other managers we have had under Chansiri then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have said he wanted to go to 'his' club, said 'no comment' or said 'it is in the hands of the clubs' from the start rather than squirming and denying it was a possibility. He is a good manager at this level, possibly the best manager we have had since the PL days but the way it unfolded means it is not going to happen.

Steve Bruce for 1! I agree he is a snake and the way he left burnt bridges with fans and the club that mean him coming back any time soon is unrealistic. He is not the only manager who has no loyalty to speak of, many would have taken the job in his position but the way it transpired didn't do him any favours.

j17tjp Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 If we want to get results & get players fighting for the shirt then Bruce is the type of guy we need. if we’re too stubborn / hold grudges instead of treating it like a business then we’ll end up in EFL1. The fact that a prem team wanted our boss shows how good he is. although I agree that DC prob won’t go back after how it ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aingarth Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Starting to look like the new owners at Newcastle are going for Pochettino or Benitez. That means goodbye Bruce. The question has to be, did he run away from us just because it is his home town club of Newcastle, or is it his style not to stay anywhere very long? I know that the Chairman is not likely to favour him after what happened but I might just think it is worth a second try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickswfc Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 You've gotta wonder whether Bruce would actually want to come back. We don't know what his relationship with Chansiri was like so I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he saw Newcastle as an escape. I would 100% take him back though.

It happens all the time though in football. It's not like he left us for another Champ club. But isn't the fact our manager was actually wanted by prem clubs a good thing? It means we actually have a good manager, an asset. Not a journeyman manager who we picked up of the dole. We need to look at this like a business. Bruce is respected, successful and has a good track record. He has good contacts and is quite good in the transfer market. If he gets poached by a prem club it means we are probably doing well and we get a nice payday. Think of it like signing players which we know we can sell for a profit. Sure the upheaval of losing a manager isn't great but we were sat in 3rd at Xmas. He's a good manager and better than any manager we could get.. for free. As above there are very few football people with any real loyalty to a club. If you accept that as a sad fact then we can enjoy using them as much as they enjoy using us.

gurujuan Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 If we are aiming at large scale recruitment this summer, I’d probably rather have Bruce involved in that, than Monk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
