Baffles me how he got to 1000?

Hes a decent manager.

 

[royaldragon]

He’ll not be too despondent with the meagre eight million pounds going into his bank account ….that’s for sure.

Most of us imagine how many nice things we could buy with £8m, Bruce will be counting how Gregg's pasties he can buy with that sort of money.

 

[ferryhill mackem]

Nice of downie to tell us the new owners have parted company within him. There was me thinking it was Ashley

 

[Georgewhitt]

The revolution truly has begun

 

[Yankee Mackem]

I fuck up in my job and lose the company money, I'd be lucky to pay the rent in the following months. Football is weird.

 

[Sumdumgi]

Shame. I’d much rather they kept the useless bugger in charge.

 

[molthemackem]

Hes a decent manager.

His treatment by that lot sort of puts into perspective his "treatment" here. I wonder if he keeps bringing it up for the next 10 years like he did with us?

 

[Hardyman's Yugo]

I've just saw this quote from a mag regarding FFP.

"Easy ways round it, there is nothing stopping PIF opening club shops in SaudI giving every one of the 20m male adults £60 to buy a Newcastle top , even if the club gets half, bang there is £600m per season through shirt sales and nothing the PL can do about it"

52,000 screaming Saudis at the next stoning then

 

[forever changes]

Think he'll decide thats him done now.
Loads of cash. Why put himself through it all again?

Make a bit more cash simple !

 

[Sneech]

he is mediocre rather than shite like..won three promotions in hiscareer i think?

I would agree with that, he's a middling journeyman manager, had some promotions and success, had some failures too - no better or worse than the rest of the managers rooting around at that 'level'

He kept the mags up and at their statistically natural position, despite the complete lack of investment (their words) from Ashley over that period.

 

[Hongkongphooey]

Hes a decent championship manager.

Tidied

 

[martyftm]

What a shame. The new manager will have many £££££££ to spend so naturally he/she will improve the side. Bruce will wonder how HE would have done, if he'd had that money!!

 

[Arfa Sleep]

He was in an impossible situation at the end. Don't rate him as a manager but the way that lot have carried on the last few months has been ridiculous.

Can never quite make their minds up who's fault it is. Ashley, Bruce, wonder who it'll be next.

Not just at the end but from day one, his biggest problem at first was 'he's not Rafa'.

 

[Big Duke Six]

Soon to be seen blobbed out on a beach in the sun.

 

[Mr B]

Absolute joke of a manager, but at least he took £8m out of the club as he left, well played Brucey.

 

[Seaham Towny]

Has managed to get to 1000 games as a manager due to the following reasons:

1. Former Man Utd captain.
2. Has a lot of friends in the media who will always defend him
3. Always has his excuses ready for the aforementioned media friends to push, here it was because he was from Newcastle, at Newcastle it was because he managed us.
4. This is the main one I think, he's a lot better managing up than he is down. Was touted for the Birmingham job while he was still playing, eventually did get it. Has worked for Ashley, the nutters at Hull, Lerner at Villa etc

His teams play basic, pretty dire football, sometimes he stumbles on the odd good group of players and he'll pick up points but then go on long winless runs.

He'll get another job easy, middling Championship club would be my best guess.
