Plonk Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Just seen his press conference, looks like the pressure is getting to him. So funny that he left here where he was well respected by the fans to go to his boyhood club, where they absolutely despise him with a deep passion. The Newcastle forum is a very entertaining read. Someone claims he has made £32 million in compensation alone from his time in management. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls2k Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Bruce has actually done a decent job there. Problem is he isn't Rafa, who was an expert in PR up there as well as turning out turgid football. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce is seen as a lower league manager who isn't a big enough name to manage the mighty Toon. Fact is no one will make much of it there with Ashley in charge. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty spot on I think, they’ll never forgive him for managing Sunderland either but yeah, they see him as a lower league manager whereas Rafa is the European giant who came to save them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You couldn't be more correct. Except they love and will defend all of those things to the death but in the same sentence curse them to hell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fudge27 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Regards to Benietez, its mental he has the rep he dies, he plays a very pragmatic and quite frankly average style of football imo.

Nobody will make much of it there whoever’s in charge, Far too far north to ever attract decent players now without having to pay well over odds. Far smaller clubs from London will beat than to signings if the wages are the same, just to be able to play in the capital. Same goes for Leeds. Wanted Conor Gallagher but he chose Palace to stay in London. Newcastle, for me are PL history not present or future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latemodelchild Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I'm proper petty me sometimes. What Bruce did to us proper rankled with me even though deep down I know why he did it. To see him struggling makes me happy. I know he's rich but it'll be hurting him, same way he hurt us. Eff him. 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raminpeace Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 they have finished with 44 or 45 points in each of the last four seasons twice under Benitez, and twice under Bruce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. For a bloke of my age to be petty like this is a bit embarrasing I know, but that's football. Anyway, what he did was still appalling after Chansiri had let him stay on holiday, and Bruce said he was a wonderful chairman. And he knew the Newcastle fans didn't want him before he even went. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree his football can be quite dour, but he's good coach is Rafa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
