A massive blunder in appointing serial relegation man Steve Bruce

Posted: **Wed Jul 10, 2019 7:17 am**

Hopefully

Posted: **Wed Jul 10, 2019 7:27 am**

Fingers crossed.

Shocking appointment for a massive club blah blah blah

Posted: **Wed Jul 10, 2019 7:44 am**

They would have been better appointing Jack Bruce !!

Posted: **Wed Jul 10, 2019 7:47 am**

This could lead to one of the biggest meltdowns from a set of fans ever, should be great fun to watch.
Ever get the impression Mike Ashley is laughing his head off behind the scenes.

What happened to the much trumpeted takeover then?

Posted: **Wed Jul 10, 2019 7:57 am**

1 less team for us to worry about then...

Sadly that's no longer possible as you are probably well-aware judging by your user name. They certainly won't be getting the cream of the crop when it comes to managers. Can't wait to see his glum chops when they get "robbed" every week....

His record isn’t that bad is it? Uninspiring but hardly a guaranteed failure.

Posted: **Wed Jul 10, 2019 8:49 am**

How does he keep getting good jobs,him being a serial failure and all that?

Posted: **Wed Jul 10, 2019 9:02 am**

I like Steve Bruce.

He was once captain of MANCHESTER UNITED y'know!

Bill Sykes or Bob Sykes?!

With the whole 'Ex-Sunderland' angle, and the hatred of Ashley up there, you can just see a similar meltdown to the Wise/Kinnear/Keegan/Shearer era here.

Think they might go.

Posted: **Wed Jul 10, 2019 9:33 am**

Isn't he a Geordie? Least he has that in his favour. I heard there'd been no official approach as of yesterday, though.

Posted: **Wed Jul 10, 2019 9:41 am**

A mass exodus of their best players will begin if Bruce gets the job, im off to Ladbrookes to see what odds i can get for Newcastle to be relegated.

He was a Toon fan I think- I hear his rooms were all white with black curtains.

Does a decent job wherever he goes, initially at least. Not a bad appointment for them given their situation. Still relegation fodder though.

Sunderland fans hated him because he's a Newcastle fan

Posted: **Wed Jul 10, 2019 10:46 am**

fair appointment given their situation.Once/If new owners come in they can then bring their own manager in.What I don't like about Bruce is his zero loyalty wherever he has been.Sheff W allowed him to delay taking over so he could watch cricket in West Indies and deal with a family loss and then does one asap a bigger job arrives

Sounds like Newcastle are at a bit of a Crossroads

Why? Have they just appointed Noele Gordon?

Alex Bruce will be getting ready for a transfer...

Be better off with Fiona Bruce

Boyhood Newcastle fan and a capable manager. I was hoping they’d do the decent thing and go for some fancy foreigner we’ve never heard of.

They did but Jose Mourinho (I think that was his name) didn't want the job

Posted: **Wed Jul 10, 2019 6:51 pm**

Bruce was a ball boy at Newcastle.

I can't see Ashley paying any compo for a new manager.

Posted: **Wed Jul 10, 2019 6:59 pm**

Better off with Fiona Richmond

BFS wasn't interested in going back anyhow.https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48947463

Bruce is going to be announced soon,once they've agreed a compo package with Sheff Wed(£5m).

Suggests Ashley is trying to run them on the cheap again,they won't be anywhere near the top 6 next season.

So long as we don't gift them 6 points as we did last season,with 2 awful displays.

There was part of me thought Mourinho would consider it... but that was purely based on a Bobby Robson link

Posted: **Fri Jul 12, 2019 3:49 pm**

That’s pretty hilarious going from Rafa to Bruce.

Think they will be bottom 6 with Bruce.

Posted: **Fri Jul 12, 2019 4:07 pm**

Did you know Steve Bruce writes (very bad) murder mysteries based around a football club

Did you know he once had trials for Burnley before signing for Gillingham.

Did you know it is a wonderful appointment for the rest of the premier league.

I quite like him he’s funny. He might do alright

Do you think he'll last till Xmas,he's a decent Championship manager,but his PL record isn't so hot.

I shouldn't think that he'll make much above his basic pay.

Posted: **Sat Jul 13, 2019 10:48 pm**

Was Brian Laws the last Sheffield Wednesday manager to manage in the Premier League ? Hope it's an identical ending.

Brucie Bonus for the rest of the bottom 14, do you think?

Posted: **Sat Jul 13, 2019 10:59 pm**

Might just last longer than OGS.

Posted: **Sat Jul 13, 2019 11:00 pm**

Ashley skimping again,and some people have a go at our board,it's no wonder Rafa got out of that snakepit,i can see them struggling to attract big names,hence their desire to get Graham Carr on board,didn't know he was Alan's dad,let's hope for the Geordies sake the price is right.
