    I didn't want him, and we've seen some shocking performances this season. We've also seen some good ones though and have got a few points that I never thought we would get.

    He's done a difficult job reasonably well in very testing times. He's stuck with Joelinton for reasons I don't get, but he has been hamstrung with few other options.

    If all goes well I'd guess he'll be replaced, and I can only wish him well for putting himself through this Ashley-manufactured toxic zone and coming out of it with a job done outcome.

    Just noticed it's being heavily discussed on twitter. It's just football chat so don't see the problem. He's come out swinging the minute Newcastle hit mid table <laugh>

    Him and the fans are as bad as eachother imo.

    And right there is the proof, in one quote, that Bruce doesn't have a clue, despite spending his entire career in professional football.

    So, Ashley ran the club "greatly".
    We never had a lot to spend.
    We would spend what the club generated, but that was never going to be enough to be successful.

    Which means it WASN'T run greatly! Otherwise we would have generated far more commercial revenue, to help grow the club. Instead of whoring the club off to be a Sports Direct advert.

    Keeping the books tight, while not investing in growth and "running the club greatly" are not neccessarily the same thing Brucey.

    He and Ashley were well suited. Quite telling that he was gone as soon as owners with some ambition showed up.

    I’ll be honest I wouldn’t trust Steve Bruce with money to spend on players either.

    Bruce had way more money to spend than most Newcastle managers.

    Pardew was bargain bucket players only

    125m then. Including Joelinton

    Just read, net spend for Pardew came to 24m.

    Think it was minus for Rafa.

    Dunno how many players we sold under Bruce. But I felt like it wasn't many.

    Nothing of significance. De Yedlin is probably the highest transfer fee we got <laugh>

    Btw, this is how managers like Bruce get jobs.

    People always asks that question, how exactly these hacks find jobs.

    Cos they kiss the arse of their bosses, he used to do a serviceable job, perfect for some clubs

    Bruce needs to take Mike Ashley's cock out of his arse.

    The fat cun t is hated at all the clubs he's managed (apart from Wigan.)
    Blagged his way through football management despite being a useless twat.

    Bruce has waited until the wheels have come off and then come out to set the media on the fans again.

    It doesn't matter what the fans think ! The narrative will always be what they don't want it to be which is that Bruce had no money, did aswel as Rafa and Ashley was a good owner.
