Listening to a post match interview by Steve Bruce is just a bloody Joke. How many more times are we going to hear, " We must learn not to give the ball away." "I Can't fault the players efforts" "They are a class side" " I thought we deserved something from the game" No Steve we didn't deserve anything from the game, our midfield plods around the pitch, when Shelvey plays it's even slower.. Our defenders just keep lumping it forward, hoping Wilson can produce a miracle on his own, however, it just keeps coming straight back. You never have any sort of game plane so please do us all a favour and GO NOW or are you waiting for another failure payout.
This ****ing clown. He's going to go back to early 90's, by playing Carroll and Wilson in a 4-4-2. I'm not even making it up.
Just like we expected pre the Christmas period and yet here we are and he is still under no pressure and the pundits have gone very quiet.
It's all so futile, because everything starts with the ownership. Football is bad - players aren't that good - scouting is poor - because the owner is ****. Football is bad - manager is poor - will never improve - because the owner is ****. Results are poor - see above. Ambition is absent - see above. No money for new players - see above. It's just a fairly endless list of symptoms related to the disease that is Mike Ashley.
I think we’re losing Tuesday. I wouldn’t be so sure. I can see Ashley parachuting Rafa back in tbh. The last big job is no longer likely available (Arsenal) and it’s more or less the same squad Rafa took to 10th. As a short term fix with safety in mind it’s a no brainer. It’s also a better transitional appointment should the non-takeover ever happen.
I can't see Bruce being sacked for another 10 personally.... I said this quite some time ago, but I can see us getting relegated after winning arbitration and PIF buying West ham or Leeds in the summer.
Yep, ****ing up on that scale is a very Mike Ashley thing. Surely this time, with more at stake, even that fat headed moron isn’t so dumb?
I suppose it arbitration is won Ashley could sack him and tell the guy coming in stay up and next season you're going shopping big time
Bruce is not going to cost much to oust. If the carrot dangled from Ashley is “I won’t be here”, I think there’d be no shortage of decent applicants. But just from a sensible perspective you’d go for Rafa, knowing even his anti football isn’t hated by the adoring public, which then gives you time, experience and stability to create a next level club. Wherever Rafa has been, he’s an anti Bruce - he leaves a club in a better state than when he joined, certainly leaves a platform for a successor. I think it’s desperately what this club needs, even if I’d be very keen to see a Nagelsman, Marsch, or other progressive coach eventually in charge.
