SiJ Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Oh, and Bruce is a pratt. Gets away with it, because he's got his mates in the media. I know there were issues with us when he left, but the bloke still took the pi55. Remember him actively talking about how he was desperate to leave in a post match friendly interview? What a knob. 1 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. Fair points, But I think him and mourinho are 2 who's best days are well behind them but they still live of their reputation of 10 years ago 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Everton is about Rafa's level now tbh. Jose won't manage in the PL again. Seems to be doing ok at Roma, but we all know how it can go with him.

owls maniac Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Newcastle won’t go anywhere (except back to the Championship) whilst Ashley is at the club. And to say how much they complain, what have they actually done to get rid of him? If Bruce can keep them ticking over mid table until Ashley calls it a day then frankly that’s as good as it’s probably going to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando_Trustful Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I reckon he'll be gone before Christmas. It'll be a Dyche, Howe etc type appointment and the cycle then continues. Newcastle fans are laughable and still think it's 1997. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I didn’t used to mind Bruce and when he did a good job with us that continued. And I didn’t have a problem with him wanting to leave to manage his boyhood club & in the PL. But his attitude and behaviour towards us when making that move was classless and disrespectful. I’m happy to see Newcastle take a beating whenever possible. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is he isn't Rafa, who was an expert in PR up there as well as turning out turgid football. Agreed. Bruce is a good talker and PR man but he is positive whereas Rafas chat was quite negative against the owner and the fans enjoyed that. Bruce just seen as Ashley’s man.

mcmigo Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Newcastle look very poor this season, especially at the back. The goalkeeper at the weekend - I would have taken Ola Tidman ahead of that goalie. They look a championship quality side. Big trouble this season.

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. Not sure what Newcastle expect, staying in the PL and a cup run once in a while is about as good as it gets, just like 95% of teams up there. They're nothing special.

Going really well for him up there. Just claimed in his press conference that he’s not a quitter, and doesn’t walk away. The geordies are laughing their heads pointing out he has walked out of seven of his ten jobs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreshOwl Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 He has to go tbh, it sounds like not one person wants him at the club. Why would you stay in those circumstances? Can’t be much fun for him. I don’t get what the problem is with Newcastle fans anyway. Who do they think they are? They finished 12th last year which is perfectly acceptable with the squad they have. They don’t have a divine right to be in the top six. Sounds like the player culture is toxic too. They the players have to take a chunk of the blame. Sounds like when we had our bad eggs under Monk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever the pessimist Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 They'll get battered by Leeds tonight. I heard Bruce saying that 'of course I want better players coming in' in a press conference the other day. Great vote of confidence in his current ones that!

Or are they players who think the manager is a buffoon, and the manager has no idea how to handle them? Ferguson dealt with his “ bad eggs”. Read DiCanios book to see how BFR dealt with “ bad eggs”.
