The point is the majority of us don't HATE Bruce. We question whether he is the man to take our great club forward.
Mackemman - the problem isn't players leaving (if Judas wanted away and believe me when I say IMO there is more to Bruce forcing the issue as well over Ms Bruce than meets the eye here) then so be it. Its the negligence in not replacing that player that I am calling into question here. If it wasnt right to dive into the market in January then I'll accept the decision. I disagree with it bit accept it. However, 8 months on and still no replacement and I call that ineptitude of the highest order and further evidence as to the small time mentality of Bruce thinking he could muddle through one of the toughest league in world football with makeshift and inexperienced forward line. My 6 year old could have made a better decision than that. PS - would that be the same McClaren that won Boro a trophy and also got them to a European Cup Final? Mmmmm.
I would LOVE Bruce to have us 5th in the league and in with a shout of a cup. Unfortunately (IMO) he cannot do it. Anyone have the stats of his last 38 prem games? If we can have them, well that is his last seasons record. x
Cest. If we'd wanted Bent here we would have matched the pay Villa offered surely? Mind-numbing that we let him go. It's Bruce's tombstone I fear. x
Mackem rule - condescending? - sighs, tell me how fella, don't hold me responsible for you inferiority complex, is it the guilt? I have said you will be ultimately correct - Bruce will go, when the people who make the decisions or Bruce himself decide his time is up - so I doth my cap in advance. I feel the need for religion "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. " - Not much wisdom on here.
As I've said Bobby: In my opinion he would have still wanted to go regardless of the money, because there was a lot more to it than just money.
Let not pussy foot around here. He left because of the situation with Bruce's daughter. Its not rocket science lads is it? The question is not about hos leaving, we received good money for him but rather who has been brought in to replace him. Neither Wickham or Won are the scoring answer (we ALL know that) and Sessegnon will never be a lead striker as its not his game. He is a creative player with tricks and skills aplenty but a composed, natural goal scoring instinct? Not a cat in hells chance of that happening. So, the reason I feel the manager is incompetent is his eagerness to sell our crown jewels but not look to replace or even part replace him in EIGHT MONTHS. A staggering statement to make but totally true. For the record I dont HATE Bruce the man. In fact I think he is a genuinely decent bloke who is trying his best. My question is that his best isnt anywhere near good enough IMO. I like the man but want rid of the manager. I'm not about to change that stance and I'm afraid he isnt about to make me eat my words anytime soon either.
Their you go, inferiority complex is it the guilt? SIGHS? Wtf? You really think you are more intelligent than anyone else on here don't you! http://www.not606.com/showthread.php/80748-Post-Swansea-game-rant...... Your condescension toward me started from a rather innocuous question about Bruce having a go at the press. You have previous with me mate, you did exactly the same ages ago. The last time you did it, you apologised in a PM, rather than on the open forum. But as I'm a reasonable bloke and have no wish to put down another Mackem, I accepted you not posting the apology on the open forum. I don't still have those PM's, as my inbox is filled daily with thanks from fellow Mackem's, usually for standing up to the pro Bruce bullies. Even some from Mags saying "well said" on other subjects. So I have to empty my inbox on a regular basis. Just noticed I do have my responses to you, in my sent folder though. The below is dated 20/06/2011 09:05 PM Re: Apology I understand the red mist mate, I always speak from the heart. I just don't understand how my dissatisfaction with Bruce generates so much venom from certain posters. Not you the guy who called me a twat. I honestly haven't seen any thing on the pitch to change my opinion on Bruce. Thats what aggravates me most, I want him to prove me wrong. All the best MR 22/06/2011 10:31 PM Re: Apology Thats's my point on Bruce mate I may not have been a fan. But he got my full support from the start of his tenure with us. It is my honest opinion he is tactically naive and has no plan B when things go wrong. It's just that I have reached the point where I can't see any difference now than when he started. Hope he can make me out a mug. (I aint holding my breath though ) MR Nothing in my responses to you concerning my feelings about Bruce has changed. And I have still been able to respond to other posters without being condescending or snidey.
Yes mackemrule I apologised then by private e-mail which you have seen fit to publish which breaks just about every privacy law so i will ask for this to be modded or 606 will face the consequences, it is illegal to publish correspondence without seeking the agreement of all parties unless this is in the interest of the nation, this applies equally to individuals and the media or any other corporation. What you fail to mention is that i also apologised in public on the threads, but took the trouble to apologise to you by e-mail. You really are an inferior little twat aren't you mackemrule, another one who can give it but not take it back in equal measure.
Even though I don't agree with Cestria over Bruce, I respect the fact that he is a fellow 'passionate' supporter of my beloved club with his own opinions...You on the other hand are not, and I dare bet that this username in not your only one on here because I think you are a Mag.
I only posted MY PM's not your's. Not that intelligent really are you. So it has nothing to do with the mods the law or Steve Bruce! Ah! I'm back to being a twat? I rest my case as far as you're concerned.
Too many good posters kicking lumps out of eachother on here. I also think newtonlee2 sounds like a bad name. x
