Or maybe he just wants to watch some cricket! Such a stand up guy. He missed the cricket... Feel sorry for him. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted July 15, 2019 Author Share Posted July 15, 2019 so he started late because of the cricket then resigned few months later. Mr loyalty. Imagine they don't give him the job now Wednesday fans should be delighted with this lucky escape. Go get hughton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I’ve been watching the recent Bruce situation from afar in quiet horror. I never wanted to talk about him again but here we are. As much as we might giggle that Bruce is about to stuff Newcastle, he is a relic who is holding English football back. He has now managed got managerial gigs at several of the country’s most historic (if fallen) clubs. Newcastle is a massive club: I’d like to see historic clubs like villa and Newcastle up in the upper echelons of the premier league (again) and not stuck in prehistoric era. As much as I love CM97/98, I’d rather we didn’t have the same approaches to the game in real life. His lack of football philosophy and his use of redundant statements about players’ stare of mind and the like, is preventing young managers who embrace twenty-first century approaches to the game from getting a bloody job. I wonder when this ‘old boys club’ is going to get the hell out of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 You know the stick he complained of? Before it really hit the fan on the pitch and he started saying he knew better, and he wanted to shut fans up. It was all online stuff he was referring to because support was always there at games. Right up to the final few weeks. He's had more abuse from Newcastle fans on the internet in the last week than it took for him to dig out Villa fans. I do hope his kids are reporting it back to him so he's ready to fire on the toon army in his opening press conference. 23rd November as it stands, Villa v Newcastle. In case you were wondering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted July 15, 2019 Author Share Posted July 15, 2019 Nothing will make me happier than him relegating Newcastle. He would be a legend in my eyes if he does that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DCJonah Posted July 15, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2019 (edited) I can't express how amazing it is to see the solid efforts of some to defend him throughout his time here and this particular scenario, and then witness Steve Bruce show them how wrong they are with his actions. It's **** brilliant. Edited July 15, 2019 by DCJonah 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Grade A word removed. Hope Newcastle appoint someone else tbfh and Wednesday take him to court. Absolutely disgraceful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was offered a job, Said he would take it but wasn't available for a month due to prior commitments. Knowing this the club still chose him rather than picking somewhere else. When i started my last job i had a 2 week holiday already booked for a week after my start date,This is no different. I hear you Lakota, but had your employer hung on for you and gave you a bit of time to sort your bits and bobs before starting employment (That he spent in the West Indies lording it up)... to then 5 months later give them a A big F*** You cause something better has came along. It's tasteless imo. And before anyone wants to jump on the 'it's cause it's Steve Bruce' train, it is not cause it's him at all. I would say the same about any manager that did this. The fact that SB has previous history on top of this and added of what we know of him already, does not make his case any easier to defend.

(Health problems would probably have made the descision for him eventually) but he knew that his philosophys etc. Was not being taken on board as much and his style of management was starting to die out with the start of this new generation of football that we are seeing now. He got out at the right time imo and took a sidestep into punditry instead. Fair play to the man. Edited July 15, 2019 by AvfcRigo82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 How many digs will this pathetic fat bastard get in during his press conference. Place your bets. "finally at a big club." "best fans in the country." Roll up. Roll up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most football men - would have given up a month in the sun to have started the job. Unless he was legally unable to start - I find it unacceptable he would treat a club in this way.

Demitri_C Posted July 15, 2019 Author Share Posted July 15, 2019 For me this is one final pay day for him. He is coming to the end of his management career. He won't get another opportunitylike this so I get why he wants the job. But he is very sensitive and takes things to heart. Newcastle fans are already protesting against having him so what kind of reception does he think he will get from them? Add to the fact that Newcastle have very little money you just don't see how this so going to go well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
