ewerk 31195 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I took a quick scan through the podcast so YOU don't have to. Basically there's a very quick conversation about Villa and Newcastle where both times the problems were that he had no money to spend and fan expectations were too high. He wasn't fired at Newcastle but magnanimously went to the new owners and told them he wanted to leave because he was still negatively connected to the old regime and recommended 'the guy who got Bournemouth relegated'. No mention as to whether he refused a pay out though, seeing as it was completely his decision to leave. Other than that it's basically him and Warnock complaining that they're viewed as dinosaurs and how the Championship is more fun to be in than the PL. It's basically an illustration as to why they're both on the scrap heap. Eddie Howe did a great job at Bournemouth but it ultimately went tits up and ended in relegation. So what did he do? He took a sabbatical and went around the world trying to learn from others and spent a lot of time examining his own shortcomings and came up with solutions to make himself a better manager. What does Steve Bruce do? He moans about money and fans and takes a three month holiday to his Portuguese villa then jumps back on the managerial merry go round to repeat the same mistakes all over again. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then everyone simultaneously stood up and broke into applause at the great sacrifice he had made for the betterment of the club at his own expense, and the direction for the future that he would never rightfully receive the credit he deserved for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the hint of a tear in his eye he hopped into his Jaguar XJ8, 3.2, the sports version with the AJ-V8 all alloy engine, the kind of engine you dreamed of. The fluted leather seats, contrast colour keyed fascia and walnut veneer gave a warm embrace each time he entered. It was a car befitting the man. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 35567 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I was going to say last night (as a pisstake) that Edwards will be along defending his mate soon. But I got distracted. What is the actual point in him tweeting that? Is he still trying to troll the fans. He’d be well advised to shut the fuck up about Bruce. He’s basically the main reason Edwards has so little credibility 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought meself a bottle of red wine and a bottle of radox stress relief bubble bath and listened to it having a soak. mrs bd kept shouting up asking why the fuck are you listening to it when you know it's just gonna wind you up. which is a reasonable point. will probably tune in to the 2nd part just to hear the cunt claim we're all arsonists who were threatening to set his families houses on fire. might get 2 bottles of radox for that one. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10963 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Prutton asked the pair of them about young English managers at the moment and they both talked about Frank and Steve. Not Potter, Howe, Cooper, O'Neil who are all currently out performing Lampard (18th in the League) and Gerrard (Unemployed after being shit), no, they're happy for Frank and Steve. They both sounded very much like Old Men shouting at Clouds. "Players can't go for 6-7 pints of an evening now." "Won't be as much fun though" That's right Steve, that's right Neil, professional fucking athletes can't go and get shit faced the night before a game because they're professional fucking athletes. Jesus Christ. Then Prutton asked if any young managers had asked either of them for advice, and they seemed genuinely offended that a young, modern manager wasn't desperate to shadow them. Sorry Steve, not many young managers are going to want to sit on a Portguese sun lounger watching you turn puce as you escape criticism for how fucking awful your brand of football is. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10963 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Warnock genuinely tells a story about interviewing for the Norwich job, ages ago. And some senior exec asks "Will the fans like the way you play", Warnock proudly tells how he looked them all in the eye, took a deep breath and said "Aye, I think they'll like winning". Proudly, like it doesn't make him sound like a cunt. Also, it sounds a lot like one of those stories where the teller swaps in what he wished he'd come up with, for what he really said. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
