Bruce does need some results and quick.
For some reason although since his arrival we have improved our league position year on year. Although our squad is much better than the one he inherited. Bruce is in danger of loosing the fans.
The only explanation I can think of is the Newcastle link.
Last week he was doing a grand job. One game later he's got to go.
Roy Keane didn't get this grief when we were bottom three.

Aye but Keane's a nutter and if we'd have told him we din't like him as a manager we'd have been drop kicked.
 
Strange. I thought they were all Geordies? But I guess that doesn't stand for owt...

You miss the point again. Stokoe won something a thus is remembered fondly. If we hadn't won in 73, there would be no statue of him at the ground and he would just have been another in a long line of average managers. His golden moment was 73 and thus he is immortalised. I'd love to have seen the comments at the time if Stokoe had taken a team to Sid James and been thrashed 5-1?

Bruce hasn't been past the ****ing 2nd round of a cup run yet and ****ed us over in three derby games. He is tactically inept and woefully short of decision making during games. Someone earlier likened the scene between him and Black yesterday like a scene form a Laurel & Hardy film, with Bruce fiddling with his tie and Black scratching his head and crying, while the team fell apart at the seams. Laurel and Hardy or The chuckle Brothers. Take your pick.

How apt those thoughts are for me about them.
