Sadly I think Liverpool will humiliate them on Wednesday and he’ll get the boot

9/1 available for him to be the next PL manager to lose his job.

Will only get the sack, if he falls into the bottom three imo, and there's more chance of me winning the lottery than Doubtfire walking away.

Being an absolute charlatan but having a slightly better record than the amazing previous manager both playing a brand of football that is as dull as dishwater. Why was the last manager who did even worse, had a relegation on his cv with you also not a joke?

I’m not interested in comparisons with the last manager. It’s irrelavant to me. I’m talking about the current one.

With their continued lack of investment, they're never going to be better than mid to lower table.
But suddenly it's Bruce's fault, and not Ashley's😂

Of course you aren't because its awkward for you, difficult for you to argue against and shows you up to be a hypocrite. This manager performing better in terms of premier league points per game and in all competitions being hounded out, mocked and vilified while the previous manager hailed as a hero batting against all odds despite having an inferior record. Only at NUFC and only by a set of fans more interested in having their ego massaged than results.
 
Luke Edwards on twitter last night mentioned about when Allardyce got hounded out when they were 9th. Then this mag popped up saying that at the time they were bigger than Spurs Everton, and Man City :lol:, when I challenged him on it he rolled out this chart which was something to do with money spent and turnover. It gave me plenty of ammo to rip the piss, needless to say he blocked me :D.

Where we are now is the most we can hope for, be nice to see the club with just a little bit of ambition though. The football suffered over the last few years has sucked the life from the club, not pleasant at all, but it could be a lot worse.

I get that like. You had the most cautious and pragmatic of managers ever followed by a bit of a dinosaur also far too cautious and you have the likes of Leeds, Southampton etc playing excellent, entertaining front foot football. There's nothing wrong with wanting to be entertained a bit more.

Our “flair” players have that attacking instinct coached out of them. Far too many backward passes from promising positions, it’s like we’re scared to have a go at anyone. Been like that for years, including Rafa who I never bought into.
Still, it can’t last forever.

No it can't - as long as Ashley is in charge, you will at some point soon, go down again.

Not awkward for me at all. It’s been 18 months of Bruce and by his own aims he set himself he is failing.

You are arguing a point you yourself are more than aware of. Steve Bruce is not a very good manager.

With a marginally better record than the previous manager who you made excuses after excuses for. What were Bruces aims? What were Rafa's aims?
