    I saw the interview for myself. He said.. to paraphrase (in response for clarity on the rumour Jones was inbound) ‘you’ll have to ask the club about that as I know nothing about it’ whilst looking really pissed off.

    for a man who did the hiring allegedly in Chaos’s head… you’d expect him to know a bit more about it…

    oh and Bruce looked really pissed off at Jones from day 1.

    Only a wum or a clown would try to spin Bruce as anything but a complete disaster on and off the pitch..

    Not my head JJ what actually happened in their own words

    Jones words

    "Once I spoke to Steve I got a good feeling for him.

    "But obviously the pull I've got with the football club with myself and my father as well, it was too big to turn down.


    Bruce's words

    "I did speak to two others but Graeme was the choice. I'm delighted. He's fitted in very well with the other lads who work with him.

    Chippy is right in what was originally said

    You're going to have to demonstrate this to confirm it was before the dates I have

    The idea they both lied I don't believe at this point

    He's the only manager to turn upto the food banks mind.

    What's he actually done ?

    Everybody understands this, that the owner is a ****ing asshat and any replacement will simply be a worse version of the current idiot.

    That doesn’t mean the current manager isn’t ****, it just means the owner is an asshat.

    How he's treated every other club and their fans
    How he professes to be a fan of nufc yet constantly disrespects the fans, the city and the club.

    Let's just leave it at that.

    You like him as a human
    I think he's a ****

    This isn't a new insight

    Redundant chatter this.

    Munson, your opinion has been noted by everyone.

    Going on about it just makes you look ******ed to be honest, I'd just accept people disagree and move on.

    Nobody disagrees as Roland has just pointed out.

    Feel free to debate or feel free to not get involved.

    Accepting Rolands response as the court of public opinion is a bit of a misstep like. Man's on the the phone with the samaritans as we speak.

    The owner chatter is 100% ****ing pointless. I think after 10+ years, no one should think saying "mike ashley is no good owner like we ned better i reckon" is unique <laugh>

    Bruce is an arsehole because he’s (in my humble opinion) a horrible bloke who slags off fans and blames everyone for his shortcomings.

    That’s your opinion and you’re entitled to it, but I disagree in the sense that I don’t think he’s any more horrible than most humans. He’s just in the spotlight but actually says **** that most of us would also say in trying to be relevant. Think honestly on what you would do different if you were him right now.

    You’ve got to look at the bloke objectively, as a human (I’m not talking about managerial ability objectivity, that’s different). Is he REALLY that rancid? How is he worse than Mourinho or Pep or Klopp, just because they get to talk about how excellent their £1bn team played?

    I don’t really like him, certainly don’t rate him, but there’s definitely worse out there and under the current owner I’d suggest there’s definitely no better either.

    Did the fans not get personal 1st? Are the fans perhaps being unreasonable?
