    I hate Bruce every time he speaks he plays down nufc and he creams over the big 6.

    If I'm being honest he's really just saying it like it is, but it's not something he should be doing and it's not at all the attitude he should have.

    The reality is he's here and he's here until this takeover saga concludes more than likely.

    We all know things got much better when Jones came in, so there's no reason why that can't continue... I honestly don't care whos in the dugout once the games start and results are coming.

    Feels like when we come up against a rich, corrupt club like City, he's just saying "well, y'know, those lads are a lot better than we are so just do ya best".

    Money's the only thing that gets your great players, but a decent manager can make average players better.

    He doesn't rate the club at all.. I actually think he's right because Ashley's newcastle really is no different to Brighton and Crystal Palace, but he shouldn't make it so obvious.

    In fairness to Bruce (and I want him out as much as anyone) he is managing with one hand tied behind his back. NUFC is a business, not a football club. We run on a profit and gamble with our PL status. He can only do so much before being hamstrung. Once MA goes (whenever that is) I should hope things may pick up. Until then, whether it's Bruce or Klopp in charge, the end result will still be the same.

    I would understand that but.......

    Would it harm giving run outs for Matty Longstaff or Elliot Anderson or even having Bobby Clark mix it with the first team squad? Bruce comes across as very bitter.

    But no fear our long term target of James McCarthy will soon be playing alongside Hendrick and Shelvey.

    Personally, I would not play a Longstaff. The others could have had a run out once safety was assured last season but I guess Bruce thought the higher we finish, the greater the price money therefore the greater the transfer budget. Who knows though

    Bruce is too put for himself to develop youth.

    He could've last season in the end but he was too keen to do better than the great rafa

    The longstaffs aren't good enough and doubt they ever will be...

    Matty has more about him though imo.. Him over Sean for me

    Ok let's look at his training methods....

    Same injuries at every club.
    Rafa (I don't want to compare but) has the same facilities and had minimal injuries.

    Absolutely. I'd rather a dustbin played. The sad truth is, we are where we are and it's down to one man.

    I hate HSBC too, i may be wrong but normally loans are taken from Barclays?? not that who lends the money matters.

    you would get to Gosforth quicker than I could at the moment <laugh>

    HSBC owe me money for PPI from over 2 years back
    they have delayed and delayed and delayed
    I have sent my details 3 times by email, twice by registered post and once by person to
    the City Centre Branch
    they rang me on Tuesday asking had a received a letter that was sent on 9th July
    they want me to fill out the same forms again
    I asked what have they done to keep my personal data safe
    he couldn't tell me so now I'm writing to the Ombudsman about a breach in data protection
