This is what I think happened.
Charnley - “Steve, your doing **** mate do you need some help. We have got this lad Jones who wants to move back up north. He’s ****e at managing but he’s canny with tactics and your crap”
Bruce - “****ing Tom Jones? Aye get him in. That will cheer the lads up.

(Days later)
Bruce - “Who’s this fella Lee, thought we getting wor Tom?”

Charnley - “WTF Steve, he’s a coach you dick. Graeme Jones”.

Bruce - “**** me Charnley I didn’t want any help. I just though Wor Tom was coming to motivate the fans”!


What happened was that Bruce had the idea and employed Jones.

It worked which was terrific management, but of course nufc can't admit that because it goes against their arguments.

Most of nufc fans arguments are absolute crap.

Nah my versions better: it’s definitely who it’s played out in my mind.

The latest one is that Ashley and Bruce have fallen out simply because of the statement which basically said they'd backed Bruce and he'd asked for willock.

To me that means Bruce's got the backing of Ashley to the extent he went a bought a player using methods they usually wouldn't.

It also demonstrated that Steve Bruce has been trying hard to get money out the owner despite being called a puppet he's clearly been trying.

The club also wanted to tell you the side (including willock signed January) was around 10th best for the second half of the season like I have been all summer.. I knew you were all full of **** when you tap danced around that fact...

Basically I've come to the conclusion that nufc fans are wrong on everything apart from the fact Bruce isn't a very good manager... Ffs just stick to that or all the other bullshit takes credence away from the genuine complaint.

The club seems to be expecting things to improve, so despite all I've said just like any manager Bruce will be in trouble if results don't improve and he's going to be close after Saturday.

Whoa steady mate. If you read my comments I’m telling what’s commonly known as a joke.

So when you say I’m full of ****??!! I take that quite personally.

I'm really referring to the entire fanbase in general mate.

I'm just the **** that trys with all his might to strip away the myths and the persecution and make sense of what is actually a real complaint and what is fabricated nonsense.

Ultimately the real complaint is that Steve Bruce isn't a very good manager.. Thats it! All the rest is emotional bullshit and mental gymnastics.

He is a terrible manager. If your right in what your saying and it was him that realised he needed someone else (Jones) at the time when we had won 2/22 games or so. Then he is personally admitting it aswell.

Let’s see how this season pans out.
 
Simple yes or no question.

is the quote Pouchy put up the same quote that you put up and I responded to?
Too difficult to answer? Or are you

@Roy Munson


I like what you've done here to be honest. Realising you now look a bit silly, you've decided to make it all about the quotes. I'm pretty sure that Chaos had alluded to the fact that Bruce selected Jones, there were two or three options and he chose Jones. Also that he decided to bring someone in. I simply pointed out that Chaos was myth busting ACS's assertion that Jones was brought in above his head. The one which you and others have bought into.

Anyway seen as you like a simple question and simple answer, do you now accept that Chaos was 100% right in his assertion that Bruce brought in Jones, wanted him and selected him. You know given the overwhelming evidence. Just to be clear the simple options answer wise are:

A: I agree Chaos was right.
B: No I still think despite the evidence that Jones was brought in above Bruce's head.

A or B please. None of usual bullshit.
C. Neither A or B.

<laugh>

Let me explain something to you mate and its that all these great managers have a great coach.

What it means is that Bruce and his existing coaches are useless and that Bruce demonstrated good management by asking for a better one.

This is the thing! It's the ultra negative view on every single thing Bruce does.. If Bruce does something good nufc fans perform mental gymnastics to try and twist it into a negative. They then add them with the actual negatives to bolster their argument.

If they stopped being dishonest and compiling a list of false complaints that the others they're presenting it too can easily decipher 9 out of 10 are absolute bullshit then their argument would be more credible.

You never answer my yes or no questions and ask a question back instead.

Just to be clear mate I've provided something called actual evidence that destroys the myth Jones was brought in without Bruce's knowledge or backing.

You're one of the people that made that mythical claim and thus far have provided no evidence whatsoever.

Have you got any evidence yes or no?

I’m not buying it. Sorry mate. I’m sticking to what I believe is correct in my own mind and the stuff your saying is just arguing for the sake of it. It’s simple.

I am comfortable with that. You can have your opinion and I have mine. That’s also fine.

There won’t be that many nufc fans who want him in the job. That says a lot for me.

You're not buying what?


Can you explain what you believe and what evidence you've got for it?

I have actual evidence that's not about opinion mate

Then I will destroy you
I don’t like Steve Bruce.
I think he’s a poor manager.
I think he’s a bad man manager.
I think his tactics are poor.
I believe the vast majority of fans don’t want him as manager.
I don’t want him as manager.
I personally believe that some of the football we played last season was some of the worst I have ever witnessed.

Personally I know your wumming. You have admitted you enjoy winding us up. It doesn’t bother me. I don’t like to used carefully chosen facts because it can always suit its purpose.

I tend to go on what my heart is telling me. Like when I eat something I don’t like the taste of. Say broccoli, horrible stuff. Can’t stand the taste. But I know it’s good for you.

But I ****ing don’t want it, don’t like it and couldn’t give a **** if I never ate it again.

Have I disputed any of that? No I haven't.

So now we've concluded that you don't even know my position never mind taking the time to try and understand or considerate it I'll try to debate one I don't agree with.

About last season the 1st half was, but the 2nd half was very good.. Nufc scored more goals than anyone including man City for the last 11. They picked up more points than any side outside the top 6 in that period and were the 10th best for the FULL duration current side ACTUALLY existed.

Mate you're performing mental gymnastics.. Im not wumming
 
Get some new material, you've done this 1 to death


See mental gymnastics.

It's not me making the claims im just disagreing with the false ones.

It's nonsense mate... Bruce interviewed and persuaded Jones to join the club
