    Any Chance?

    Of taking that clown Bruce back in some capacity at Newcastle whether he’s a mascot or selling hot dogs! He’s destroying us!! Always been to Preston but would rather undertake knitting on Wednesday night when we go there!

    Good win today under a good young manager!

    I feel for you pal I really do. Really don't understand what you're owners saw in him. Probably be hard to get rid as well because of what it will cost. It's criminal the money he earns for failing at clubs. Saying that if I where in your shoes I'd rather the club just pay it and be rid of the dinosaur. Be surprised if he gets another club after you. Not that he needs one the money he's made.

    Give him credit. Over the years he has been very shrewd getting engagements with decent clubs and his agent getting the contract right when he gets exposed and kicked out.

    Over his career he must have earned much more from contract pay outs than he has from so called coaching.

    Cheers, Al. Good to see you on, man.You don't deserve his apocalyptic levels of shit.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they get shot soon if this run continues, though?

    Managers usually have success at some clubs and not so at others. Bruce is different. He admitted himself that he doesn’t ‘do’ tactics and so clearly tries to rely on psychology to get the best out of his players (although how anyone could be motivated by him is beyond me).
    Even more alarming is the lack of training hours that he demands from his teams.
    Newcastle were generally unfit when he left and even after terrible runs of results he didn't demand extra training despite his cringeworthy ‘we’ll roll our sleeves up’ comments after each defeat.
    By far the biggest charlatan I know of in football - he is living proof that many club owners have more money than brains (or don’t care - like Ashley).

    Cheeky bastard even demanded that all his players lived within an hour of the training ground.

    Hypocritical fucker used to arrange training so he could spend as much time in his Cheshire home.

    CabbageHeed is on his way to another early sacking payout according to the bookies, who are rarely wrong when playing their "hard earned dough"

    Keep your chin up Baggieal, it's sure to happen soon and then you'll have a more than fair chance.

    1-0 Preston at 90 mins, just extra time to play.

    Had a look at league table and if the two teams below them win their games in hand, then Baggies drop to bottom of Championship.

    Need to get shot of Bruce quickly.
