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

[Guest alex]

Always claims to be a Geordie but in reality is now a died in the wool manc who has always been angling to eventually take over from Fergusson.

And the shite he came up with in the studio when we twatted them five nil has always stayed with me.

I can't blame him for feeling more affinity for the side who paid his wages tbf.

 

All I know is that we need someone better than JFK and Bruce fits the bill.

You can blame him pretending he's arsed about NUFC though.

I know what you mean, but he doesn't play for them now so I guess he can show a different allegiance. I don't doubt he USED to support us, then he went on to win pretty much everything with arguably the biggest and best British club of the nineties. It would have been insane for him to have rattled on about us. I doubt we'd want to hear one of our players singing the praises of a rival club just because they happened to have supported them as a kid. Don't forget we were actually their nearest rivals for a while too.

 

Bobby Robson was no different. His "bleeding black and white" didn't appear to happen until he was nearly 70 and I love the guy.

 

I am have this completely wrong but......didn't Bruce have a trial with us and end up going to Norwich instead? IF that's true - and it's just based on a vague recollection - I'd imagine he'd have disliked us for many years. Hell hath no fury and all that.

He was at Gillingham before he was at Norwich. I think he'd had a few trials before that.

Robson had trials with us and he went to Fulham...

Wasn't that what he basically based his own recruitment man-management on though, later on.

I've no doubt Bruce would come here given half a chance but I'd be surprised Ashley would want to pay big compensation unless he was landing a dead cert successful manager. Bruce hasn't done badly at Wigan but he isn't that yet.

Glad to see I've stayed consistent in my thoughts of Bagpuss.

[ewerk 26118]

At least @Tom will be happy that we've finally landed our man.

number one target

[Dr Gloom 19716]

right, we've got a shortlist of 10, but can we tempt the main man steve bruce into taking the job? it's a big ask 

[ewerk 26118]

You really have to wonder who the No.2,3,4 & 5 targets are.

Tbf the daft cunt has turned it down in the past hasn’t he? We also may as well put a traffic cone on a chair in any negotiations for as much use as Charnley is. Although saying all that he’ll no doubt jump at the chance of one final season in the PL.

Did he turn it down or was it the fact they couldnt agree compo with Birmingham?

I thought he had turned it down, it could have been either tbf since the pockets on Ashley’s major relaxed fit NoFear jeans must reach down to his mini hooves. 

[Dr Gloom 19716]

the thing is, we're all turning our noses up at bruce but it could just as easily be big ron or barry fry

[Dr Gloom 19716]

i'd sort of prefer that in a way. if we're going to go down, may as well have a laugh while we're at it. 

what's howard wilkinson up to these days? 

[spongebob toonpants 3566]

I'm going to be genuinely disappointed if it isn't Pardew tbh

[TheGingerQuiff 2412]

Brewce signed some canny players for the mackems but tactician he is not.

 

Makes sense that we want him in a role where he coaches and doesn't recruit then

[Tom 13804]

Didn’t he do some class recruitment at Wigan? Or am I making that up?

 Aye, you couldn't make it up.

 

Still, might not happen yet as his compo is about 3 million quid. Imagine breaking his "no employed manager" rule to buy out STEVE BRUCE's contract.

He signed N’Zogbia and Cattermole. I’ll let you make up your own mind.
