Howay lads Geordies used to be fair.

[toptoon]

Bruce is a Geordie. How many of us supporters would give up the chance of doing what he's doing? If you can't do any better then don't criticise. It's that simple.
If you want to vote by staying away then I agree ya right. But, if you want to go to games despite Al this then get behind him and the team. The negativity should come from numbers at the minute, not mouths. Yes you have the right to shout. But even if we bought half of Brazil some daft ****s would still shout because that's their mentality. So be it. Diversity and all that.
But please, beyond all this, have some pride. Bruce won a lot of stuff by being solid with talent. He was a rock. And this is a dream come true for him, he's actuly one of us.
Back the ****er. Give him his time. Remember Perchinio? Hated but came good. Perez? Etc etc.

Didn't he once claim that Newcastle was not his dream job? 'One of us' but takes the job in these circumstances and after being strongly advised by Shearer not to?

He's gone for the money and a last chance to breathe life into an ailing career as a manger (former playing days have nothing to do with it).

He's just a puppet, saying all the right things at the right time might fool some of the people, however his premier record and ability will be his own undoing.
He can't say he wasn't warned or knows what to expect.
I will be amazed if Joelinton gets here, it's just another smokescreen. Fatso wouldn't spend that type of money on multiple players let alone one. There will be reason why we couldn't get it across the line and we will end up with a couple of loanies, free or low cost players.

In his defence, he was just being professional as he was being employed by another club....what he has said in the past really doesn't bother me, just what he does now he's at my club.

And that's all you can ask and hope for.

So we ignore 20 odd years of treasonous behaviour and an obvious shiit poor management record and hope for the best then?

That's up to you.

I didn't like previous managers such as Mcbrolly, Souness and Allardyce but I gave them a chance...sadly they proved me right.

I was happy when Dalglish and Gullit...and I was proven wrong.

Ashley had his chance and continually let me down for the last 12 years...Bruce deserves his chance.

[nodge75]

So you put this 20 odd years of so called treasonous behaviour into reality and do what? Hound him? Boo him? He's done **** all wrong as far as I can see, other than manage Sunderland.
And as discussed on this board many many years ago, who here wouldn't take that job for £20k a week? You'd be ****ing stupid not to, despite who you support.

And remember, nobody at Leicester wanted that has been Ranieri when he was appointed.

Give him a chance. Give him enough rope to hang himself. As with anybody. Surely that's the way to do this?

Haha. What a load of cr@p. If you can't do it better then don't criticize? Haha. Let's not say Colback is sh!t - none of us can do any better. Thanks for the laugh.

Mike Ashley gets jealous of a manager if they become popular with the fans. He is a real bitch, Chris Houghton, Rafa, Two of the most popular managers we have had, Ashley hated it and got rid. I think he likes the fans hating a manager so he feels slightly less hated.

It gives him a buffer.
