    Once they got passed the January window and post an impressive away display at Everton they took the decision to stick with Bruce.

    They know at this point that there's nothing a new manager could do because the windows shut and theres no time to change much.

    I'd imagine because Ashley has tried getting rid of a manager twice with a similar number of games left and the club was still relegated that he's decided to roll with him.

    They brought Jones in and since then we've done fine, so why change? We've lost 3 games..man united and Chelsea and Palace which we didn't deserve to lose.

    The collection of 8 points we'd all have taken in that time, but unfortunately Fulham have been outstanding.

    I want Bruce gone, but when I consider all these things I can understand why they've decided to back their original decision and not look to being in another desperado that's unlikely to do much better with the injuries we've got.

    Yeah, all makes sense, just doesn't make it any less depressing.

    It’s the mannerisms for me and his ignorance towards the fans. We got the Everton result and it was a good performance. Southampton have lost something like 9/10 and we got lucky in the end given the circumstances.

    The Chelsea and Manu games ok.

    But over the season we have dropped points against the lesser teams. That we should have gone for.

    He’s taking us down: I’m convinced.

    Bruce’s post match was ****ing awful: he’s embarrassing everyone. Just a shambolic, bumbling idiot. This is my personal worst time ever supporting Newcastle United since I started some 40 year ago.

    I'd love to ask him to clarify what 'the one thing you've got to do is'

    There's been around 1000 the one things we must do and I'm confused.

    It’s more or less everything he says. He’s like a **** PE teacher, the fat dickhead everyone laughs at. I wouldn’t bet on him to get a result at u-9’s level.

    Bashing away? It’s always difficult managing Newcastle? Err on caution when bringing Manquillo on? I mean this last one, the question we “why bring on a ****ing right back when you want to win a game”, whereas he thought it was about bringing him on and not starting him. He must’ve subbed a right back a dozen times this season.

    And his obsession with doing something quirky to look good is our undoing. He has not done one thing in his entire newcastle life that turned from head scratching stupidity to master stroke. Everything he’s done, right down to playing Gayle - for the second game running - in a ****ing stupid position ends as badly as we all expect it to,

    I don’t think I’ve witnessed a manager so clueless. Pardew and Kinnear are both superior match day managers, purely because they try and play to the strengths they have. The players often look as baffled by the selection as the fans are, as if an hour before kick off is the first time anyone knows the “plan”.

    29.5% win rate with £100m spent is incredible.

    I think he was concerned with Krafth being on a yellow tbh, but otherwise I know what you're saying.

    I think the sums improved us, but it's why he doesn't just start those players that irritates me.

    I think he likes to have two subs to put on to make him look good if they score personally..

    Is he gone yet? I’d still sack him now. Nothing to lose. Bringing nothing to table now and looking at our injuries and available players, we need some kind of black magic anyway.

    What a bellend, has he not followed Bruce's career, let alone his blatantly obvious failings this season.
