sacré bleu Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I don't know why he's moaning. He could have walked away any time. He probably knew the takeover would happen eventually and was just hanging on for the payoff. I don't blame him for that but stop the bloody moaning.

Earlsfieldowl Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Come on DC - strike whilst the iron is hot. Bruce more likely to get us up, Moore more likely to keep us in L1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdan2003 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I do have some sympathy with the way this played out - essentially the owners have been telling everyone he’s getting sacked for the last week. Not a great way to do it. As for Bruce’s comments - he said the same when he got booted at Villa. Talked about the abuse etc. He came to Hillsborough and talked about a fresh start, and the club and fans at S6 made him realise he wasn’t ready to pack it in. 18 games later and he told us all he hadn’t had contact with Newcastle, he was walking his dog. 48 hours later he was signing for Newcastle, despite the fact Newcastle fans made it very clear they didn’t want him. He was universally liked at Hillsborough. A manger the majority of the fan base bought into. But he jumped ship for the money knowing the poisonous atmosphere that awaited - for that, I have no sympathy. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrs Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I have no issue with Bruce at all. If I was him, having seen what a basket case club we were and probably still are, given the opportunity to manage my boyhood club in the league above… he made the same decision every one of us would’ve made in the same circumstances. It was fine with me at the time - albeit annoying - and I’m still fine with it. Would I rather have him in charge now than Darren Moore? 100% yes. Can I see him coming back and working with Chansiri again in League One? 99% no. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG D Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Moore win rate = 43% I can't see that being right for any phase of his managerial career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmigo Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Cost the barcodes what, 7m to DC in compo per our accounts. 8m pay off for brucey assume decent wages of 2m ish a yr They have paid out circa 20m for two years of being managed by Steve Bruce. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Don’t get the hate for Bruce. Left for a better job. If he had stayed he would have been managing a club with a points deduction and a club not paying staff. He’s been around the game long enough to see what was coming at Wednesday. Got out while he could and went to manage a bigger club. Fair play to him. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animis Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Good record Bruce, and has kept a fairly poor Newcastle in the PL for the last 2 seasons. I think he'll retire - he certainly doesn't need to work and the hassle of modern-day football just isn't worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cos if current, different leagues, standards etc. so mean nothing. Both overall managerial stats. It's all reletive..Bruce has had much much more dosh to squander, better facilities...and he's a 'name' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not by asking her to come back the minute you find out the bloke she was trying to get off with, and who she dumped you for has realised she’s actually not a very good girlfriend? How about you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
