Guest alex Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fop 1 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big TRon 0 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Imagine breaking his "no employed manager" rule to buy out STEVE BRUCE's contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
