    I didn’t know, the clip just said he was the negative. Fair play to him/AS.

    Bruce got draws it was the fact we hadn't won a game fans were screaming about and rightly so, but we didn't win under Howe until after the first spend.

    Bottom line is Bruce spent £160m in 2 years, and ****ed off to Portugal leaving his coaches to the training during first international break of the season, snapping at reporters "what am I meant to do? We had 6 players away" When asked about going on holiday he snapped at Craig Hope "This is what the fans want to know is it? This is typical of you and your paper"

    <whistle>

    The least people could say is if true that's an honourable thing to do, so I agree with you.

    I don't think Steve Bruce is the bad guy he's been made out to be.. he got rinsed from day one and it never stopped even when he finished 12th in his first season when the aim was 17th.

    The journalists were after him mind mate.. I'd have done worse to hope the way he carried on

    It really wasn't nice the **** that bloke was getting.

    More a case of not overreacting than defending him in particular

    How does someone “go out on their shield” when you haven’t backed them? Sack him or back him, anything else is just snide

    The fans 'that didn't in this case... the ones 'that did' thats great.

    It doesn't really matter anyway everyone is going to have different opinions and only time will provide clarity.

    It's best if Howe finds a way forward, but I don't think he will that's all...happy to be proven wrong.

    He has been backed..not being backed was rafa.

    Howes had big money even by Premier league standards never mind Newcastle standards.

    Yawn you keep repeating spend from the past but don’t accept your own point that you have to keep spending. Back him or sack him otherwise it’s snide.

    Yes sorry that's actually right, but I maintain nothing really improved until after the first 150 million was spent.

    Howe had 1 in 9 before the spend

    Now 2 in the last 11.

    The money has been spent so he has been backed to the maximum and beyond which is why we had to sell minteh and Anderson.

    The maximum and beyond would mean last winter and the summer, when he wasn’t so your talking rubbish. The sales of those two players even emphasises the point

    The club has spent the most money it could since Howes arrival. Why do you think they had psr issues?

    That's not rubbish it's what the club has done.

    No I’m quoting the actual last two windows and you propose not backing him in the next one either.
