If Bruce takes Newcastle down, at least they’ll have the perfect man to take them back up. I mean, who could they get that is better? Sensible. Newcastle should know their place. Championship club at best , punching above their weight under Rafa. Bruce is the man to take them to their natural level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 So Sturridge. Welbeck, Carroll or all 3 to Newcastle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I just can't see why a fairly established Premier League club would ever look at Bruce and go "yes, he's the man for us". Really strange appointment if it happens - but, then, a really strange owner too. (Still hoping they appoint someone else after Bruce resigned from Wednesday ) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 it seems like Ashley is openly mugging their fans off its still not in the same league as us appointing McLeish though, maybe too close to it to remember the fuss made in the press and by other fans (I seem to remember a lot of negative coverage about us but not that much justifying our anger) can you imagine if Bruce had relegated sunderland last season and Ashley was doing this? even he's not that daft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted July 16, 2019 Moderator Share Posted July 16, 2019 Man .... hhhnnnnggghhhh ... so many conflicting emotions. Hilarious that Bruce could be left high and dry, but disappointed he won't ruin Newcastle, but re-assured that a new European candidate is perfectly capable of ruining a Newcastle side heading in that direction anyway. I'm running out of popcorn. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villakram Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Stat from podcast land this morn. Of premier league managers with more than 250 games, only 2 have a win percentage under 30%. 1 - Is pretty obvious as he's a muppet and I hope he gets pelted with used cabbage at his intro presser. 2 - a tad trickier. Poor Newcastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
