#23 - Cut Bruce Loose!

A Take From A Fellow Taty...


It’s probably something I haven’t gotten over since it was announced, but it staggers me to this day that Steve Bruce is manager of Newcastle United Football Club. 

That name (the club, not Bruce) used to resonate around the footballing world. Now, it’s nothing more than a bottom half laughing stock, there to make up the numbers. Constantly pissing off its supporters and an easy topic for the washed up pundits to attract callers to bite to the fucking bollocks they spout. They don’t mean a word they say, but they say it anyway as when people ring in and bitch about it, it keeps them in a job. 

A League Cup quarter final defeat to Championship side Brentford, a team who made SIX changes to their regular eleven, managed to better us all over the park and deservedly take their place in the Semi-Finals. They are a very good side, they are striving to better themselves. Everything a football club should do. 

This is apparently Steve Bruce’s dream job, he’s a staunch Newcastle United fan apparently. Don’t make me fucking laugh. 

He doesn’t fucking get it, he never will. He lives in a completely different world to those that know what it means to be a Newcastle United fan. 

It got that bad against Brentford that I was willing us NOT to equalise. As it’s just his luck if we did. He deserves this defeat and deserves the stick coming his way. He has belittled us during his time at other clubs and has belittled us many times since his arrival. He has received backing of idiotic pundits nationwide and finally, the truth is coming out for all to see. 

He is a dreadful coach. We can’t even do the basics, how many throw-ins outside their box end up back at our keeper? How many misplaced passes? The lack of movement is staggering. These young lads need coaching, they need an idea of how to win a football game, or least take some sort of control. We are constantly second best all over the pitch. 

Don’t get me wrong, the standard of our playing squad is average, but it could be used effectively to the extent that it beats lower league second strings. 

Bruce is way out of his depth in this modern Premier League. How managers like him continue to get jobs in the supposed best league in the world is staggering and highlights the amount of irresponsible owners there are in football. 

Mike Ashley is the issue here. Bruce won’t be sacked just yet - they’ll never learn their lesson. Mike Ashley is gambling on the club being sold whilst neglecting the progress of the club. We need an idea as to what the future will hold if/when this takeover is officially dead in the water. 

My hatred for Mike Ashley knows no end, I despise him. He’s ruined the one thing I love outside of my family and continues to hire fucking chancers to keep it operating. 

In the mean time, as we wait for Ashley to fuck off, Bruce has to go. He is completely oblivious to the problems he is causing. Talking about hoping to win when going into a game against a Championship side, as if they are fucking Real Madrid. 

If he was a fan, he’d walk. If he’s in it for himself and is playing on the ‘local lad’ bollocks as we suspect he is, then he’ll hang around and continue to be useless, provide no hope to the young lads in the squad and blame everyone else but himself. 

Ashley Out. Bruce Out.
