Even his bar is only feeding off his brother's career. Who next ? Gemma Collins !!?? I’d like to get Jude Bellingham to do one for me saying “Happy Birthday pal, up the Villa! And SOTC!”. Then I’d create a profile on SHA and troll the crap out of them with it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He actually lost quite a bit of weight between the Hull and Villa job as he basically lived in Portugal and exercised most days. Going back to the day job has probably meant long days, lots of driving as he doesn't live in the north east, and a lot of junk food. Needs to be careful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let the big big clubs like Brentford and Norwich go to work. Talks down every job he's in so his hopeful scrape of survival is praised. I doubt Steve Bruce is setting the budget.

jacketspuds Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 How long before he once again drops in how much we’ve spent since he left? I bet outside of football Bruce is a good guy. But, as a manager he just makes excuse after excuse to make it look like he’s performing miracles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not necessary to either like Bruce as a person or rate him as a manager to recognise that it's a hard job, and that having no incoming players into a pretty bad squad is not a great situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll find that if Newcastle had a better manager, they would back him with more money. Someone like Rafa who gets actual results and helps to stabilise the club in the Premier League, maybe. Not ol' Brucey. Who does he think he is getting the club to finish in their best position since they've been promoted? **** charlatan. No wonder he's getting no money to sign players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce is good at steadying a ship and keeping heads just above water. Despite having a championship quality squad (except ASM) they will stay in the PL. For me, he can't do anymore with those resources. He did the same with us, when he took over from RDM we were candidates for a double drop. He sorted us out, steadied the ship. Where Bruce falls down is when there's an expectation to go out, win and dominate. Our squad in the championship should have absolutely walked that league. Grealish, Tammy, mcginn, Tuanzebe, hourihane, Chester, Bolasie. But he only knows how to play a certain way, which is only good in select circumstances.

Its all the PLs fault this summer To be fair to him Ashley is seemingly a master at deflecting geordie anger But all that said and Bruce will use it as an excuse this summer, his brand of football is nothing to do with the players he has or the signings he's not able to make, it's been his brand everywhere he's been and its absolutely **** dire, so dire that the fans have a right to complain about it no matter how much the defend it Personally I think their survival will depend on the crowd, if 40k of them turn up every week to sing "we're **** shit" then they could be as bad as we were when we went down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
