I'm sick of the sight of Steve Bruce, but there's no point making noises because Ashley hates us
 
Think I heard it on one of the podcasts that he flew off to Portugal as felt he'd been shafted with the Choudary deal with transport and medical being cancelled behind his back and that the club didn't even know if he would return.
Although I would love to believe this I can’t.

Lee Ryder is a ****. So without knowing all the details I'd suggest this was simply him capitilising on Bruce's current woes. It obviously shouldn't be the approach but this is modern media, I'm sure Bruce understands this too. If he doesn't he is very thick. I also don't have an issue with Bruce having a go at the guys in the media. **** them. He owes them **** all.

He should be frustrated after a match too. He should be tetchy when we lose. All the managers are, even the very best. If you aren't bothered then why do the job. I've seen the great Sir Bob have a completely irrational rant at an interviewer because he didn't like a question. I remember when that **** from the Sun was making **** up about dressing strife, he challenged him to spend half an hour in the dressing room with the players - so they could kick him to **** <laugh> Alan Oliver said Bobby used to ring him and go off when he didn't like a story printed. They are under the magnifying glass and being chastised by some **** who probably can't even kick a ball. Its annoying. So he had a pop, possibly an uncalled for one. Boo ****ing hoo. People whining about him doing so need to grow a pair. Why people spend so much time on what is said I'll never understand. They only do this with the managers they don't like though...

He was buzzing last year when we lost at Old Trafford

He's buzzing whenever Man U win.

All this whining about his every word is pathetic. Our fans need to give themselves a shake at times. They don't seem to understand they just constantly give ammunition to those who claim we are unreasonable as a fanbase by their stupid commentary. Stop the noise, he'll be quickly be judged by all on the only thing that matters.

Its also unnecessary. All that matters is performance. His performance is dire so far this season. Fair enough he's done the job asked two seasons in a row and proved the doubters wrong. He's still **** though. I just don't believe we will get any better if we sack him. We would if one of us was selecting the replacement. We aren't though, Mike is, and he has a long list of ****hawks who can't get a job. That said I'd still sack him. He's pointless.

They don't like being told it and expectations are significantly lower than when they chased out bobby Robson, but they don't seem to understand the clubs where it be should based on what's invested.

The clubs spent every penny available! Bring in the league is the ceiling as things stand and Bruce so far has done his job pretty well.

How many **** managers do they want before they accept things?

The problems Ashley and until he's gone it'll never change

Nufc fans are actually deluded imo..

I get it somewhat, purgatory is a horrible place to be. Is that not what Mike threatened to do to the club as payback for fans abusing his daughter?

I still laugh about that Newcastle fan who looked like him. Was getting abused and punches thrown at him in restaurants when going out <laugh> We have some right knackers. I wonder how his life is now.
 
Now bare with me here but is the Agent Bruce at work here? He went in and took the mackems down from the inside and now he is here trying to flush Ashley out with a third relegation? Is he actually a double double agent? Went under cover at the stadium of ****e and now he's back purporting to be working for Ashley but is he the man on the inside taking him down and driving him out? I can't wait to find out in the next installment of the Striker novels.

Bruce has been told he's under no threat of losing his job whatsoever and of course he isn't because he's demonstrated he can turn it around... It is only the 5th game Friday.

I'd say 6 to 10 games without a win and then he's in trouble but not 4..

The nufc fans simply cannot contain themselves and continues to insist on jumping in too soon.. How much more humble pie do they want?

Just Stfu and see wfat happens for once

U wanted him gone after the utd game

I do I never wanted him,but I don't see the point. I keep telling people this tbh

I said he's close if he doesn't beat Leeds or Watford

He's not going to be replaced with anyone good.

14 years has taught me that.

No wins in 10 is Sheff Utd form tbh.

Dream land if you think thats acceptable because we finished ****ing 12th.

6 to 10 seems like the time you'd get sacked after 2 successfully seasons.

I'm that range but 4? Far too soon

Stats wise Im sure youll find the majority og relegated sides wait far too late to pull the trigger.

Both of Bruces previous seasons relied on decent starts and finishes, without a decent start we could be one of the worst sides in the league until the last 10 games.

29% win rate is pathetic
