Aye, correct.
Newcastle was the only place in Britain that suffered from the closure of shipyards, pits and heavy industry.
Only Geordies (black and white ones) showed resilience as the Governments of the time treat it’s own country’s workers like shite.
The self delusion of most NUFC supporters clearly has no limits. They deserve the world, no people’s have suffered like them!
So desperate they want to be run by murdering Saudi despots and this desperation extends to local journalists (even though they, erm, allegedly chopped one to bits in their Turkish embassy), self serving, arrogant politicians like Chi Onwurah and some members of Newcastle City Council who blathered on about Saudi money rejuvenating ‘the region’, ie Newcastle upon Tyne.
They’re all so frighteningly naive and arrogant.

Not sure what it has been like at the Mags but his failings have always had a similar pattern.

I do think he is good at coming into a struggling club, building confidence and atmosphere around a club, giving that lift and just generally upping things in the team. If that is a built team with players in natural positions and just not clicking, he gets it to click. But then that starts to wear off and worse than that, he starts recruiting. Some of it was ownership issues with us, but it has been the same everywhere. He buys who is available and not what is needed. That is one reason why we ended up with loads of slow, short, lacking creativity midfielders at the club. Players are then shoved out on the pitch without any real game plan and then subs are like for like.

I seem to remember that we often had 5-6 people playing out of position and then when we did buy, the signings looked like they might be good on paper but half the comments on here said "well they might be good player at the price, but not what we needed. We are desperate for a left winger" etc.

Apart from his time at Birmingham, where he spent a lot of money and struggled, he generally moves on after 3 years. It would not surprise me to see him gone by the end of November and as you say, for reasons that are not his fault. Probably the fans turned on him for his time at Sunderland.

Wasn't Bruce something like 5th or 6th choice when he got the job? I can't see many people wanting it in the current circumstances either.

Aye, think I read 8th on the list. We then offer him a 2 year rolling contract with a massive pay off if he's replaced. Some top decision making right there.

Who is he, I have genuinely not heard of him until I read this morning he could be in line for the Southampton job.
