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

Bruce spent four nights in Portugal during the international break and returned last Monday. Sportsmail understands some players reported for training that day expecting a morning session, only to be told Bruce was not arriving back from holiday until the afternoon. The club say this was always the plan.

But a source said: ‘You’ve got players waiting hours at the training ground and some staff didn’t even know what was going on. They also turned up at training the previous Thursday only to be told Bruce had gone on holiday. They just did a gym session. They weren’t impressed.

‘Then on Monday of this week they did not train until tea-time. Players like structure, routine. But they feel like the team’s schedule is designed to suit the manager, not them.’

Some also noted a press report this week that goalkeeper Freddie Woodman would be dropped for Friday’s game.

The players know which journalists are close to Bruce and some suspected this had come from the manager before he had told them, much like they did last season when a report stating Karl Darlow would be dropped caused huge irritation behind the scenes.

Bruce there following the British Managers Lunch Club manual for getting a pay off.

1. Put in no effort

2. Achieve dismal results

3. Turn on the media

4. Blame those above you

And if all else fails

5. Turn on the players

I just don’t even see the point, does he genuinely do anything with training? I honestly find it fairly unlikely the lazy cunt does much and instead just delegates it to everyone else while sleeping his hangover off in his office. 
 

We have this fucking loser in charge, and Mike Ashley as owner with zero sign  either will be gone anytime soon.  What’s the fucking point. Btw I honestly think Bruce is the most I’ve disliked a Newcastle manager, just an absolute chancing cunt to the bone.

Looking at the next 5 fixtures I cannot see a win anywhere.  You would think our best chance would be Palace, but I wouldn't say that's a given.

 

If we lose all of our next 5, surly Bruce position is untenable.  Yet we all know.  He will still be there.

He's not going anywhere yet seems like Ashley's happy to stick with him ...

 

Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley is not set to take any immediate action when it comes to the managerial situation at St James' Park - regardless of what happens in the next couple of games.

Head coach Steve Bruce heads to Watford this weekend without a win to his name this season before an equally testing clash at Wolverhampton Wanderers a week later to take us up to the next international break.

However, Chroniclelive understands that once again Ashley is prepared to give Bruce and his coaching team time to turn things around.

And like last season the club's hierarchy may only consider changing their stance if Newcastle become cut adrift in the relegation zone going into the winter period.

The fact that we’ve gone down after our sacking managers in the past under Ashley seems to ignore the obvious point that we’d almost certainly have gone down anyway. The regime seems to think not getting rid of the manager is some sort of master plan for survival.

Penfold probably came up with some nice stats. Same as he did to explain why cups runs are bad for the league position.

Ashley's perfect season - Newcastle in the relegation zone all season with the fans utterly furious/disheartened/apathetic and a manager who is largely despised.  

 

Fluke out of relegation zone with one or two matches to go and survive, giving two Vs to all those who doubted his "wisdom".  Repeat ad nauseam.  

 

Obese people tend to live 6-14 years less than average.  This could see him dead by 2031.

Meh. If we lose a few on the bounce, the fans are toxic, the press are putting on pressure and the players start moaning then the fickle bastard will sharp change his mind. 
 

It's easy for him to ignore it atm as Bruce has a few allies in the press and a goal against Leeds quietened the crowd for a game
