I don't know why nufc fans think Bruce going on holiday is a reason to twist.
If Bruce's so useless then surely that will help?
If the side does well they'll say it's because Jones had more time and proves bruce is crap
If the side does badly they'll say its a disgrace the manager went on holiday.
They're moving goalposts all the time... They weren't happy winning ugly 1st half of last season.. Heard them saying they'd rather lose 4-3... They scored more goals than most sides in the last 18 and they still complained.

Chaos has already admitted he's trolling man
No I've admitted I enjoy torturing people with things they don't want to confront or facts and pointing out their myths
Ahhh, a new quote which isn’t the same as the previous one. And says something different to the previous one. So to prove the last quote said something it didn’t a new quote saying something different is used. Yep, really embarrassing.If you interpret Bruce's comments on Jones as anything other than him being his choice, and wanting him, I'm afraid you just can't read and have an axe to grind. He couldn't have made it more clear.
When asked if the appointment was made without his influence, Bruce said: "I've been in the job for something like 20 years.
"Do you really think I'm going to allow something like that to happen?
"First and foremost, results weren't great at the time.
"It was important I brought somebody in, and I spoke to two or three candidates.
"Graeme was the first choice with what he'd done, and he's a Geordie who was desperate to come back up here and work for his boyhood club.
"That was one of the big reasons."
He literally couldn't have been more candid and honest about it. I'm sure he's just lying for the craic. What the hell is wrong with our fans, its embarrassing

Mate you're in denial
Simple yes or no question.
is the quote Pouchy put up the same quote that you put up and I responded to?

I like what you've done here to be honest. Realising you now look a bit silly, you've decided to make it all about the quotes. I'm pretty sure that Chaos had alluded to the fact that Bruce selected Jones, there were two or three options and he chose Jones. Also that he decided to bring someone in. I simply pointed out that Chaos was myth busting ACS's assertion that Jones was brought in above his head. The one which you and others have bought into.
Anyway seen as you like a simple question and simple answer, do you now accept that Chaos was 100% right in his assertion that Bruce brought in Jones, wanted him and selected him. You know given the overwhelming evidence. Just to be clear the simple options answer wise are:
A: I agree Chaos was right.
B: No I still think despite the evidence that Jones was brought in above Bruce's head.
A or B please. None of usual bullshit.

These people made **** up without ANY evidence whatsoever, but are trying to pick holes in a concrete case built on the actual words from the two people involved
The evidence at the time of the appointment alluded that the club hired Jones without Bruces consideration.
Now if thats false, whatever, but I can see why some on here would hold that old belief.
I hold a usual stance on most things Toon "oh, ok, we still play **** tho so sack him"

Mate I really respect what you've done on this thread. The measured way you've exposed their nonsense and nonsensical theories has been heartening. In a modern world of bullshit and simply making things up to fit an agenda, you've shown yourself to be a truthseeker, a bastion of objectivity and honesty if you will.
It was just the fans made that theory up because it didn't fit their agenda. I've yet to see a shred of evidence that suggests that. I am open to it being presented and changing my mind, but otherwise I think its a case of the fans being knackers.
Cheers mate I really appreciate that.. I don't want Bruce, but my god done of the nonsense the Newcastle fand have been put out there to argue their case is ridiculous and they've change the goalposts on what they want and expect far too many times.
Yeah they also moaned about employing Jones
They just assumed it was a plot to get rid of Bruce without any evidence.
All the evidence tells them they're wrong but they ignore it because it's too hard to say they were wrong.
Nufc fans have been proved demonstrably wrong for 2 full season.. 13th 12th.. Stayed up comfortably both times..
I find doubling and trebling down when you've been proved wrong is usually a bad policy. Sometimes it better to concede and move on. Even someone as stubborn as Ashley knows that. I also like objectivity rather than emotion and personal bias due to liking or disliking someone. The goal should always be honesty, including being able to give credit when its due to someone you don't rate very highly. I think the problem is that some equate doing that as showing support to his tenure or like some sort of admission you want him as boss. Whereas its actually just giving an honest assessment. You can still say you don't rate or want him, as we do.
Another of my current favorites is the clubs recent response to the nufc fans with the weres the money signs..once again nufc fans draw a false conclusion based on nothing and end up looking as stupid as they are.
Is that actually a convoluted way of admitting Bruce is sh!te and you'd take Pardew back in a flash?....
This is what I think happened.
Charnley - “Steve, your doing **** mate do you need some help. We have got this lad Jones who wants to move back up north. He’s ****e at managing but he’s canny with tactics and your crap”
Bruce - “****ing Tom Jones? Aye get him in. That will cheer the lads up.
(Days later)
Bruce - “Who’s this fella Lee, thought we getting wor Tom?”
Charnley - “WTF Steve, he’s a coach you dick. Graeme Jones”.
Bruce - “**** me Charnley I didn’t want any help. I just though Wor Tom was coming to motivate the fans”!
