what did you expect them to say? the truth? "we are fed up of giving Mr Bruce a **** load of money just for him to spend it unwisely and then not be able to get the best out of the players"
Not doubting what you say but why do you think they wanted him out? Or are you saying they did not want Steve out but expected him to continue to work under their unacceptable conditions? The whole mess just does not stack up?
as far as I remember, didnt SB offer his resignation but Ehab turned him away? I bet that AA is wondering what his legacy will be now.
I only said last night if we had have been sold and the Americans had put money in so we became an established premier league club then the fans would have got behind the club again and happiness would have been all around, instead they have got their money back and can sell when they decide but in the meantime sit back and watch us get humiliated. Some on here have mentioned Roy Keane the only reason I would want him would be to fill Ehab in
I think it would be more accurate to say 'he', rather than 'they', this is all down to Ehab, he's wanted him gone since our relegation.
They'll probably go for that snivelling little phoney Sherwood, if only in an attempt to try and keep the ex Spurs lads on side.
To be honest I can imagine Assem treated him with dignity and respect and got on with the things he asked for. He might be a mental sod but I think deep down daddy is probably a decent chap. Ehab on the other hand....
Is that it? A kid of 12 in a media and communications lesson could have written that in 10 mins. Just about puts the tin lid on it..
What a condescending, contradictory statement, utter drivel, acknowledging SB excelled both on and off the field, our most successful manager to date but mutual parting, my arse. He deserved better than this shoddy treatment and timing. SB had his faults, I was one of many questioning his team selection at times, tactics, lack of plan B, and some of the dross we were served up over the past few seasons, but he always came across as open and honest and fronted up. The manner and timing of this dismissal is a shambles, it's simply a mans personal power battle by this sorry example of a man, Ehab, time he came out honestly and fronted up without hiding behind the statement drivel. Rant over, sorry!
The trouble is Howden Tigress, he doesn't know the meaning of the word honestly. It isn't in his vocabulary. His nose must be at least 10 foot long by now.
You have my honest best wishes. I used to think someone (owner) would have to go some to be worse than our very own Mike Cashley but it would appear we aren't in your league in more ways than one. There appears a glimmer of hope at Newcastle as whilst we have dropped a division over the last year Cashley seems at long, long last to be learning..but I'm not holding my breath yet. Unfortunately with the PL swimming in money owners don't seem to think they need the fans anymore and at the moment, in the PL I can't think of where this is epitomised more than, unfortunately, at your Club. I would love to give you some sage advice but I haven't got any other than stick together, stick around, support the team and outlast your owner.
