    The club wanted to reward Bruce for his loyalty

    That statement is comical.
    He’s not loyal. Hes hanging on for dear life.
    He has no other options.

    He should've walked after he finished 12th and he'd have smashed newcastle fans. The war was won then, but he obviously wanted to try and make them look stupid for the 3rd season running.

    I think he might regret that because its not looking good so far.

    The club love Bruce and believe in him and the squad though

    His remit is to not relegated. That’s the clubs target. So yes they like him. Oh and he doesn’t go against the grain. He’s a yes man. A puppet!

    What choice does he have? I bet all the fans on here do their job as their manager asks.

    Mate it really is a witch hunt... Literally anything and everything is ott and twisted to get at Bruce.

    He's done his job comfortably twice despite nufc fans being wrong both times..instead of saying fair enough they picked at anything they could find and then 3 games in they're saying he's taking us down again..

    I believe it was luck or Rafa's work or the league was easier those years. They are the favourites. The classics if you like.

    I think when he appointed Jones he was close mind.. I think he's close again now, but he's earned the right to another few games imo..

    If he doesn't turn it around I don't just want anyone or any ****e like I O'Neil and that kind of old school tripe though that's for sure

    You have a very weird obsession with the man.

    You are not right mate want to know why. Because it’s my opinion.

    I don’t like him and I do t want him. It’s not a witch-hunt. I think he’s crap.

    mate as you well know Jones was appointed above Bruce’s head. He confirmed that in an interview.

    I thought that was the case but some say he was appointed because Bruce realised he was personally useless and asked for assistance.

    Actually that's not the case that was a myth invented by the fans.

    Jones confirmed he spoke with Bruce and took the job.

    Bruce also confirmed he chose Jones

    I'm not I just said I want him gone.

    Haven't nufc fans said he get the club relegated twice now and been wrong though?

    Did they continue to press fwd even when the club was performing the 10th best over an 18 game period?

    Seems like a witch hunt to me, but I agree he's not what's needed or what I want

    Worst case scenario is if he picks up the odd win here and there. Means we may end up getting close to relegation and he’s still managing.

    I either want us to lose a couple more and he goes. Before it’s to late.

    Or he wins some more than expected and then we all get to revel in his glory.

    I think he's in trouble if they lose the next 2 and if he's not gone by then Watford will be his last chance to save his job

    He should've left after finishing 12th because he'd have beaten the fans that way, but he's been too greedy and wants to see them eating a 3rd slice of humble pie

    This is over 3 games.

    Same as last season when people were dragging up stats before he appointed Jones and things went very well.

    Yes that's a concern he's capable of clinging on until it's too late, but I personally think I'd rather stick unless it's a manager of some credence
