I can see why he'd take it. It doesn't change the fact its a pretty shit way to treat the club that hired him. Or the things he's said and how he's said it.

It’s not great for Sheff We’d but it’s not exactly a bad thing is it? He hasn’t gone about it the wrong way or done anything underhanded. But yet again according to VT it’s the worst thing he could have done. Its just funny now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted July 14, 2019 Moderator Share Posted July 14, 2019 I think Sheff Wed are being unreasonable, I mean Bruce saved them from relegation they should thank him and let him go on his way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakotaVilla Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Bruce’s dream job Is any one that will give him another pay off in 12 months time. Him and Ashley deserve each other. The inevitable car crash and resulting relegation almost makes me feel sorry for the Geordies. Almost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted July 14, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 14, 2019 I don’t think there’s a manager in the Championship who wouldn’t take the Newcastle job if offered it right now.

Like I said, it’s just funny now Well, given your posts that defended the car crash of the job he made here, I'm not surprised to see the continued defence of him now. What is funny is the people that STILL support and defend him. It is utterly utterly astonishing. It's not the taking the job, its the hypocrisy, the treatment of the clubs that employ him and his utter disdain for the fans - all whilst wearing the "nice guy" narrative and bemoaning how he is unfairly treated at every turn, then banging on about the loyalty of fans and players whilst displaying absolutely none himself. The man is a sycophant and a hypocrite and for some reason gullible fools buy into it. The sooner he and his ilk are out of football management for good, the better for the sport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdguitar Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I hear Bruce is up in Tyneside looking to buy a number 7, number 9 and if the price is right, a number 10... unfortunately the local Chinese takeaway is closed on Sundays 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I don't understand why Newcastle are offering him the job? I know they're in a pretty shit situation but surely it'd be worth just taking a punt on some relative unknown at this point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 (edited) He did he's best at our club and it didn't work out. We were one game away from getting promoted under him. I don't get the hate towards him. I will wish him best of luck if he get's the Newcastle job. Edited July 14, 2019 by villalad21 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they're in a pretty shit situation but surely it'd be worth just taking a punt on some relative unknown at this point? I suspect it is reputation - the supposed safe pair of hands narrative that the media keep pushing - my thoughts are that Ashley is probably just trying to keep them afloat in the prem until he can sell them and thinks Bruce is one of the managers that could achieve that (notably not first choice though). Couple of issues with that plan though: 1. Ashley hasn't been able to sell them so far - I guess asking too much? Laugh at Newcastle as we do, ultimately they are a big historic club with a good stadium and a large fanbase. Plenty of potential there - you would think someone would buy them. 2. Bruce has not managed in the prem for a number of years, things have moved on. In the Championship he has not been able to "work his magic" so the assumption that he will be able to keep them up in the prem is flawed at best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile Sean Dyche and Burnley are still going strong with his so called outdated football. And i don't see them getting relegated anytime soon.

I might have said it’s not as bad as some people make out, which it isn’t, but I don’t think he did a very good job. And none of your post addresses my point. Think of him what you will, but I don’t think taking this job when any other manager in husband position would do the same is a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the resources at his disposal we should have been autos, not in the play offs and in the playoffs we put in the most gutless, cowardly performance you can imagine. It's not like we lost to an unlucky goal. We scraped past Boro and didn't try to win the final. All down to the manager and his tactics. Tactics which will most likely see Newcastle relegated. You have been very supportive of Bruce throughout and still, yet I read your posts on Smith (the man who actually DID get us promoted - from arguably a worse position) and they are mostly negative and doubtful. I don't get the support for Bruce and the negativity you have shown previously to Smith. Very odd. If he does go to Newcastle then it will be a very luck escape for Sheffield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
