The next few games will decide it imo.

Just had a look at their last 6 games of the season

Liverpool (H)
Arsenal (A)
Leicester (H)
City (A)
Sheff Utd (H)
Fulham (A)

If they don't win their next 2 against Villa and Brighton they're in serious trouble.

Cant see them getting anything from Villa but can see them beating Brighton and a draw v Sheff Utd

I'd be surprised if he gets sacked, he's the perfect puppet for Ashley who I think would be happy to roll the dice on bouncing straight back up again. He's also got a fair bit on at the moment keeping his retail empire afloat during a pandemic.

Bruce is doing exactly what he's done at every club when given time to fail:
Moan about injuries.
Moan about bad decisions.
Moan about performances.
Moan about his squad.

Then when things go really badly:
Blame the players.
Blame the fans.

He can't blame the owners because he's always to busy fellating / supporting them. (He was particularly bad at Hull for this IIRC?)
And he never blames himself.

The only hope for NUFC is that Ashley gives him the bullet and brings in a cheerleader.

I'm not saying they're definitely down if he stays, but we can all remember the turgid performances turning to apathy among the players and fans before our eyes.

If he stays it will be a long and torturous 'end of season' for them, whether they stay up or not.

They had the likes of Wjinaldum, Sissoko and Townsend, who brought in £80-90m alone. They also had a younger squad, and a lot of players who had a good reputation in Europe (Cabella, Thauvin etc.) who they knew they could offload easily for half decent money.

This time around, Saint Maximin would fetch a similar fee, but other than that, I'm not sure. They might get back what they paid for Almiron, and a half decent fee for Wilson, but they wouldn't have the breathing room they had last time. I don't see them walking the league.

This time around the transfer window will be very different indeed. You only have to look at how low key January was to see that clubs weren't flashing the cash. It will very much be subdued transfer fees this summer I expect.
 
The thing is, it’s in their hands, they play a few teams around them. Like with Rafa even though Mags still refuse to admit he related them for some reason.

Might be misreading it, but I thought your post was suggesting that the mags doing so well and enjoying the championship was the reason why so many of ours said relegation would at least mean we could win a few games. I don't think it was affected by how well they'd done, I think any relegated set of fans will expect to enjoy winning more games the next season since you'd naturally expect to be in the upper half of the table

That's how I took it too if that helps
 
Its in their hands and depends on their games against Fulham and Brighton. Both Mags and Fulham have got tough fixtures otherwise. Fulham in form though.
