Bruce comes out with this...

If Hull are capable of getting to cup final and maintaining Premier League status then surely a club like this can. 

 

They also lost 13 of their last 19 games and were relegated the following season.

Aye he's fucking hilarious. He'll miss out winning the cup & just get relegated this season

Bruce is the level of appointment Ashley sees fit in terms of ambition. Not sure why anyone is shocked by this.

 

I dont have a massive issue with Bruce. He is just an average manager.  Its just the way its going to be until Ashley no longer owns the club.

[Rayvin 5295]

I think part of the problem with Bruce is that he might -just- be good enough to keep us up. Which means we have yet another year of Ashley at the helm, however long it takes. We need to go down and stay down.

 

Aside from that, the guy is of course bang average, managed Sunderland, and has been foisted on us in part because he's a geordie and Ashley legitimately thinks we're that fucking tribal that this should matter.

Well he has relegated two of the four PL sides he's managed.

[Howay 12496]

He’s a poor manager, especially at this level. 28% win ratio in the PL is dismal, I think I also heard/saw somewhere that his record against the top sides is around a 3% win rate. 

 

If he does get sacked it makes no difference, we’d just get someone equally as incompetent. That being said, he doesn’t deserve time, or a chance, he’s a bloke who has no right whatsoever to have this job, who has consistently failed in this role and has not done anything of note in the Championship since that would warrant him getting another shot. He also knew full well what this job was, and he surely knew the reaction he was going to receive, I understand him getting annoyed on a personal level and wanting to have a few jabs back but if he’s going to have those jabs he then has to accept he’s not going to get the time he thinks he deserves.

It was shown during the Spurs game.  His W/R against 'Top 6' is approx (from memory) is 3.2% or something shite like that

Aye he can shove his "That should shut a few people up" comment up his arse

[Ayatollah Hermione 14048]

I fully expect him to go on the front foot against Watford and leave massive gaps for their attackers to play in. We’ll be the only team that hasn’t sussed them out.

[essembeeofsunderland 811]

He says he going to give the cups a go.Will ' injuries' allow him to select a strong team? If he does get us to a cup final,tickets will be in short supply

Cuntish

[trooper 940]

Steve Bruce asked about all the empty seats:

“I’m sure they’ll be back when we win a few games.

“We have had three difficult games in a week and didn’t lose any of them really, in real terms, so I have got to be pleased with that.

We can never take for granted the support this great club has got.

“All I can do is just hopefully going onwards and upwards with the team and the supporters,

“There has been Tottenham and Arsenal (amongst the opening games), so I have got to be reasonably pleased.

“One point behind Chelsea and one point behind Manchester United or something, is it?

There you go, it hasn’t been such a bad start after all.”

I mean, it was unlikely he was gonna say "aye, good on them, that Ashley is a right cunt"

hometoon brucey has demonstrated time and time again he has none, the fucking disgusting cunt.

Rafa worked for him as well man  long after he knew the type of bloke he was

I acknowledge that Bruce wouldn't be most people's choice of manager but I'm happy to see if he can make a decent go of it. Performances have been steady so far. As I've said countless times before, Ashley is the one everyone needs to direct their displeasure. Those who seem to be directing it at Bruce are doing exactly what Ashley wanted them to do.

aye, i'll grant you that.

 

i believe that benitez would've served our cause better by having chucked the towel in at least a year before he did.

perhaps the misconception that he could change aahley's sttitude from within could be considered a flaw?

i would say it was.

that makes no excuses for what bruce has knowingly bought in to though, on the contrary,.as a supposed life long newvastle supporter, it' makes it mindbogglingly worse.

Isn't that what Bruce is doing?

 

RTG levels of silliness on here in recent weeks. 

[PaddockLad 17645]

He didn't honour anything at Sheff Weds

 

Or Hull

 

Or Palace

 

Mike Ashley has been an abomination for 12 years but wanting to appear fair minded about him and his latest appointment is the road we should be going down.  That's what I call fuckin silly tbh 

 

[Alex 35572]

Exactly. As I’ve said previously it’s not about giving Bruce a chance (or not) it’s about not giving the owner yet another chance
