Fat waste of space, tactically inept cabbage head Steve Bruce sacked by Newcastle United

Another good one on the futility of the club under Ashley. Even if Bruce could do a good job he'd get no further help from those above. He'd not be able to alter their thinking in any way.

[Howay 12496]

 So he’ll make £1m then, there’s not a chance we’re finishing above 20th let alone above 18th.

 

No wonder no body wants the job, they’re essentially being put in a managerial position that you basically have to engineer to make it this badly positioned, and then you’ll make less than championship managers   

[ewerk 30266]

It’s not like we’re negotiating from a position of power here with time to waste. Fucking clueless wankers.

[Alex 34848]

With Ashley you can understand a lot of what he does because even though you disagree with it you know it’s done to save money. But with all this carry on I just can’t see how the owner doesn’t see that he’s basically guaranteeing relegation. And you’d have to be an idiot to assume we’d bounce straight back this time round 

[Howay 12496]

Aye it’s mental. There’s no way he can strike lucky a third time we go down. The first time we had a core of decent PL players who stayed and created a strong group mentality, along with Hughton being a competent manager (which was another total fluke as it was basically non-decision on Ashley and co’s part that got him the role), and obviously the second time we had Benitez. This squad is fucking gopping, and you’d expect the ones with any talent (I.e. Schar, Longstaff, Shelvey etc) will be off in a shot upon relegation, and having Steve Bruce at the tail end of his career in place is a move that’ll solidify mid table championship mediocrity imo. I actually hope it all turns out that way tbh, as I’ve mentioned before it’s clear he’s not selling, maybe a few years away from siphoning off the PL money might change his mind. 

 

You’re completely right though, it makes absolutely no logical sense at all what he is doing. Even his most cuntish decisions have been grounded in maximizing money, this is literally the most short term version of that possible.

Probably going to go though today then. And with it disappears the last hope of any takeover. 

 

On the plus side we are in talks with a Chelsea kid no one's heard of on a free transfer

Sheff Wed should just stand their ground, looks weak if they succumb to bully tactics

So will Ashley get him without paying compo now ? Genuine question lads

[ewerk 30266]

Nah, if Wednesday accept his resignation without agreeing compensation then it'll likely go to a tribunal and we'll probably lose anyway.

[TheGingerQuiff 2412]

Poor form from Bruce after they kept the job open for him when he wanted a break after his bereavements. Appalling cunt imo.

He'll be perfect for Ashley then

[trooper 940]

Just seen this

Wednesday can take out an injunction against Bruce, preventing him from taking the job until terms are met. Palace had to do just this in 2001 when Bruce resigned to take Birmingham job

[Sonatine 11309]

Was just gonna say it's not the first time Bruce has done something like this, proper snake if you ask me

[Ayatollah Hermione 13796]

Ashley has a type, like.

Hopefully. I mean they have fuck all to lose now so may as well just be as awkward as possible. 

 

What a total fucking cunt Bruce is btw, everything that club did for him when he was having an awful time in his personal life, the boss he’s trying to get wouldn’t have been that empathetic. 

 

Are all these arseholes going to keep saying he still deserves our support?

Would prefer to go full basket case, maradona would be a laugh

If we are paying compo we may as well go for Bielsa

He'll be replacing Benitez who has never quit mid-contract. Looks like it's not just ability separating the two men.

[trooper 940]

He's going to be the worst paid prem manager, with no say on transfers. Then he's answerable to Charnley & will be hated by the fans. It makes for a smashing season & not even a balls been kicked.

[Kid Dynamite 6987]

He's placing a lot of faith in Ashley mind. If the SW chairman is stubborn on the £5mil, and Ashley won't budge, then Bruce has just quit his job for nowt
