He has just took over ffs. Give the guy a chance, He wouldn't be my choice but Rafa wasn't exactly top of the pops either was he. Rafa was an expensive flop at the end of the day and he left for money even though he was one of the highest paid in the premiership. Give Bruce some breathing space as he cant do any worse than Rafa at the end of the day.....
Jesus christ. Give Bruce A Chance. Sounds like a fking charity. Serial loser, abject prat. Sits alongisde Chumley. Everyone at NUFC, from teaboy to MD, from GK to CF, is a ****ing **** and they can all eat **** and die. I'd rather this club were in the conference and rid of all the cancer.
The general consensus among neutrals is that Rafa did absolutely nothing for us. He isn't wumming i think. We were **** today, end of, I say give the manager more time see what happen's. I'd only say sack him if a decent replacement is available. It's unlikely until January.
We were clueless again today with Norwich passing it around like world beaters. We looked lethargic and well off the pace. It's looking like we will have only one recognised striker available for the Spurs games with JLinton, Carroll, Gayle all injured which leaves us with Muto. God help us.
Bruce is a football dinosaur. It will be his last big pay off and then he can drop the proud Geordie bullshite.
We are playing effectively 3 defensive midfielders in ki Shelvey and Hayden. Ki is slow as hell. Not a premiership player. Shelvey even slower and he try’s to do the killer pass because he so slow. In addition his positional sense is even worse. Hayden is ok but doesn’t want to play for us. Then we have a right winger playing left back. Almiron looks like Forrest Gump. He just runs with the ball like a hot potato. Joelinton who cost 40 million couldn’t lace Rondons boots. He scored 7 league goals last season and we spunk 40 million on him. Bruce’s tactics are beyond a joke. We got played off the park by Norwich city. With pukki scoring a hat trick. But yer hmm let’s give Bruce a chance. **** that. Every man and his dog knew he would fail and **** me he’s failing really well. In some respects I hope he fails because he wormed his way into the job by being the last choice as opposed to earning it. In addition I hope it all fails so the fat cashless loses even more money than he has recently. Finally I hope Ritchie keeps his mouth ****ing shut because his little media rant about the fans was pathetic and we should be ****ing hammering him for that the little slimy bastard!
I remember a time when that Potter fella was favourite to become our manager and he's already made Brighton a better team
Bottom line is Bruce was Farked up the arse with tactics yesterday. Expect to see that regularly this season.
100%. Bruce just doesn't get modern football. The fact he's playing the same formation he used at Palace a lifetime ago says it all. Nobody has a 'role', and the lack of understanding is there for all to see. I genuinely cannot see Bruce getting a win. Like McLaren, he'll be fired. Like McLaren, we all knew what was coming. Like McLaren, only two people in the entire world thought Bruce was a good idea and - despairingly - they're the only people who have a say in NUFC. This season will eclipse all those before it; with two relegation efforts we had Shearer then Hughton stepping up, latterly Rafa stood by us. Who's going to come this time, knowing that Steve "who?" Nickson is picking the players and Penfold's wielding all the power? Nobody. The problem for us is not just that we have Ashley, but we have Ashley when everything is about to spectacularly implode. His obsession with the failing High Street coupled with running Sports Direct AND NUFC on utter shoestrings means everything around him is failing, and failing hard. The worst thing is, like with Philip Green, those who suffer will be 'customers' and 'staff', whilst he swans off into the Sunset still with £500m in his sky-rocket.
Pukki looked good against Liverpool and even better better yesterday. We spend £40m on a CF when we could have had Rondon for £16m yet Norwich got Pukki on a FREE from Brondby.
Bruce will fail. I promise you. We will get relegated this season. The teams that came up are better teams.
I hated him before he got here. Rancid individual. Turned down his "beloved" Toon twice. Awful "manager". Cliched dinosaur, no-trick pony. Perfect representation of the fat slug, Penfold and rest of Sports Direct United.
Apparently we are favourites to go down so I may bet against this. It's amazing the hysteria you get on here after one crappy defeat.
