RE: Not The Town O'Clock News - SHEP_HTAFC - 20-10-2021
And his pay off was £8M. That man has made millions from being shite.
RE: Not The Town O'Clock News - jjamez - 20-10-2021
I know we don't like him for walking out on us and everything, but in the mid 00s when his style of football was fairly common, he did rather well with Brum and Wigan to an extent, he even allowed us to win in the fa cup. Now his football is out dated and obsolete, the game moves quickly and leaves managers like himself, pullis, pardew and allardyce in its wake very quickly.
But like him or loath him, as a genuine football fan, the way Newcastle and their fans have treated him has been nothing short of a disgrace, especially when he's one of their own and a boyhood fan of the club. 8million makes it a hell of a lot better, but it doesn't excuse the abuse directed at him and his family.
They talk about the style of football they were playing, it wasn't much different under benitez and the comparison between the two isn't too disimilar either, Bruce managed to get them finishing in half decent positions, yet he's victimised and benitez is idolised
RE: Not The Town O'Clock News - theo_luddite - 20-10-2021
He walked out of plenty other clubs but he basically spat his dummy out and threw his toys out of the pram when Marcus Stewart was sold when in charge of us. We barely won another game until he was gone. He was given a budget for the season by Rubery and he took it to be the budget per month. No wonder we went tits up. We weren't the only place where he threw money around like a man with no arms to try and "buy" success". If he spends his own (retirement/pay-off) money like he spends his former chairmen's he'll be looking for another job in 12 months pleading poverty and how hard done by he's been.
His lack of a winning record anywhere shows how piss poor he is as a coach.

Wendies were one of the few where he didn't spend a fortune in transfer fees, but that was likely why he walked. plus he wasn't there long - see Wigan twice.

Well Liverpool now have a man advantage as well as being 5-0 up!! The quality they have up front could see them score a bunch more, its now down to the mercy Liverpool may or may not show!!
RE: Not The Town O'Clock News - jjamez - 24-10-2021
Hope Liverpool stick a few more past em and spell the end of ole, don't know what he's achieved as a manager to warrant the job
RE: Not The Town O'Clock News - theo_luddite - 24-10-2021
I say keep him. I love seeing the arrogant sods getting stuffed and Liverpool are now just taking the piss saying come and take it off us.
RE: Not The Town O'Clock News - Lord Snooty - 24-10-2021
Well they couldn't beat the 6-0 we got.
