Not my head JJ what actually happened in their own words

Jones words

"Once I spoke to Steve I got a good feeling for him.

"But obviously the pull I've got with the football club with myself and my father as well, it was too big to turn down.


Bruce's words

"I did speak to two others but Graeme was the choice. I'm delighted. He's fitted in very well with the other lads who work with him.

Chaos exploding myths all over the place. This exchange shows exactly the kind of **** our fans make up to suit their agenda. I hope you keep these ****ers on point Chaos, get them to stick to the truth.

Bruce out though <laugh><laugh><laugh>

Facts is what I'm dealing in rather than just allowing my dislike to cloud my judgement

Pleased someone else is too.

Its unpopular and you get plenty of abuse. really It's because they don't want to acknowledge the facts

I am going to be judging Bruce on this current season now. So far its pretty grim.

So when he gets an opportunity to spend some time with the players and try and resolve things in the international break what does he do, have daily sessions? have tactical awareness sessions? friendlies? work on formations?

Nope not Wor steve............Lost 3 drawn 1. Manu next. He decides its time for a break.......

So you're going to ignore the two seasons and focus on only 3 games

No (your doing it again).

I am happy with the performance of the prior two seasons. Mission successful. That is why i said now at the end of my first sentence.

So now rather than look backwards to last season i am looking at this season.

And I will focus on the performance, not only results wise but actual performances also.

But if you want to be pedantic. That's his current performance to date as a NUFC manager.

Its an effective 45 points a season on average.

So not terrible by any stretch of the imagination.

No? Sorry but that seems to be what you're saying mate.

Ok fair enough, but surely the two successful seasons he's had should come into play?

Otherwise it's kind of like when nufc fans got Bobby Robson sacked after only 5 games having had a few successful few years prior

Fair enough mate ignore previous comment

That's my view he's done ok, but things need to change if we want any better

I’m fair when it comes to my own judgements. I also would like to add that whether I like the man or not doesn’t matter. I can’t stand him at all.

But if he gets us the results with the performances then I don’t mind.

In fact provided he gets the results I don’t mind.

But I feel Ashley had shafted him this season.

And where exactly in that quote indicates Bruce picked Jones which is CC’s point?

Just wish people could read what is actually said rather than read what they want it to say.

He referred to him as an inspired choice.

Bruce wanted Jones.
 
Wilson out for a month. Fraser now out.

Pre packed excuses incoming…
Players bottling it because they are not up to it. If they are injured they are not to blame. Interesting that the games coming up are hard games and low and behold the usual culprits are injured:

No blame at my door. I couldn’t play.
