Yeah the last two Steves have been enough They should made a follow up to the movie goal and call it double impact
Getting rid of Lejuene was a big, big mistake. Granted he doesn’t have the best injury record but he could of gone on to be a player with the right modern manager.
When we’ve had managers like McLaren, Kinnear, Bruce etc all other teams fans seemed to think we were an easy 3 points which grated on me due to having a dinosaur manager. I can’t wait to have a manager where other teams look and think “these ****ers are gonna go at us” no more easy games.
Yep if we weren't ****e we were just rolling over for "bigger" clubs. Hopefully with a decent manager with a few decent signings - like I say I'd be happy 2/3 to form a new spine to the team - we'll actually be trying to win games not not lose them.
Now that Bruce has gone it will be interesting to see which managers pipe up who previously had either kept quiet or distanced themselves before now. Managers (working or not) are always reluctant to comment out of respect for the bloke currently in the job but now that has been taken care of I'm sure there'll be a few chucking their hats in the ring now. What we do next will be a big indicator of our new owners intentions I reckon. Fonseca/Favre will not come if there's the slightest chance of us being relegated in my opinion so they will have to be given assurances of having a **** tonne of money to spend in January to drag us out of the mire....which is more than achievable. Anything else (such as Howe) for me is a short term appointment with the aim of keeping us up with "some" money to spend in Jan to ensure our PL status. I reckon it's gonna be either Fonseca or Favre but this may well depend of course on whether they want to bring a DoF or Sporting Director in first but I'm pretty sure they'll have candidates lined up for that position as well.
The lack of comments makes me think it's already a done deal. Usually you'd get someone piping up about it, no matter how crap - no-marks like Sherwood, for example, saying how they'd love a crack, massive club, all that jazz. This time out, nothing from nobody. Maybe they've been told the position isn't available.
Aye but he was a bit injury prone. To be honest his two spells in England were injury hit. While in the slower less intense La Liga he was fine. Probably just not built for the game here. Good player though.
till whatever story comes out tomorrow morning, then money will go that way. Fully expecting a Rangnick/Favre partnership story to break
Bruce said: "I think this might be my last job. "It's not just about me; it's taken its toll on my whole family because they are all Geordies and I can't ignore that. "They have been worried about me… especially my wife Jan. "I'm 60 years old and I don't know if I want to put her through it again. We've got a good life so, yeah, this will probably be me done as a manager - until I get a phone call from a chairman somewhere asking if I can give them a hand. Never say never, I've learnt that." He added: "I wanted so badly to make it work” Hope you get relegated
