Yep. There is absolutely zero loyalty in football from the coaching staff, players, manager, chairman, directors. Everyone is looking out for themselves. To kick off at Bruce for not being ‘loyal’ demonstrates a clear misunderstanding of modern day football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has 10 wins from 30 overall, as you said 33% His League record for us is only 29% though. Pretty poor either way it's viewed I suppose. 29% jesus. Worse then I thought!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WBridgfordowl Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Bruce is an experienced guy. He knows the workings of football as well as anyone, so he knew that going to work for and show loyalty towards Ashley, was never going to endear him to the Newcastle fans. He made his bed and a very lucrative bed it was. Id have him back simply because I believe he’d do a good job and give us a chance to be promoted this season. But he’s a proud man and it would hurt his pride to be seen in league one after leaving Newcastle, plus, we couldn’t afford him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHY DO PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT STEVE BRUCE WOULD EVEN CONSIDER WORKING FOR OUR CHAIRMAN AT THIS FOOTBALL CLUB??? IT's WEIRD Come on - into the real world It's not whether we would have HIM back - it's the entirely other way round 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly because we were so accomadating and let him go watch cricket before taking up job. For all his numerous fuckups that was a really decent gesture by Chansiri. He managed us for a handful of games then walks out on the eve of the season leaving us in the lurch. I think after chansiris gesture he could have shown a bit of loyalty back. And the whole boyhood club thing... he turned down the Newcastle job twice and then managed Sunderland ffs. I know others don't agree but thats how I see it. We don’t know the full story of the ‘month off’ in my opinion. On paper it’s accommodating but Chansiri has subsequently came out and said he didn’t even want Bruce as manager! Why would he give him time off if he didn’t even want him at the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chansiri changing his stance doesnt surprise me ( trying to save face or summat daft) but think its obvious it was done as a decent gesture at the time.

During that brief spell under Bruce I felt we could get something in every game as he was clearly a cut above every gaffer in that league. Yes, I'd say he was the best of Channers' appointments. Once again, as with Hooper's injury, we were unlucky. Which isn't a surprise, as any luck that was going in this city was going over the road at that juncture.

There'll be plenty of offers from top-end Championship clubs if he wants to work again. Bruce wouldn't drop to this level. He's already served his apprenticeship.
