Mick to Newcastle? :sherlock:
More chance of us going for Barry Fry now TLG has highlighted hes about.
Choo and Dalman will be on the phone as soon as they see hes about.
In all seriousness shouldnt joke about it with this lot.
Saw a Youtube video about Bruce's sacking. I noticed this in the comments section....
"I hope Steve Bruce sees sense and RETIRES from football altogether because managers like him are done in modern football. But a naive chairman will see him as one of those "experienced" managers as if that means Bruce is still capable of improving football teams with his unimaginative tactic"
It has a familiar ring to it.
Couldn't do no worse than Mick hasQuote:

A lot of these types have been phased out of the top level, you'd have the old boys like Hughes, Pardew, Pulis etc knocking around the lower half PL sides 3/4 years ago but now these clubs are looking past shit football and the short termism that comes with those managers. Shame we haven't caught on, I'm prepared for Pulis to get the job when Mick is inevitably binned.Quote:

Isn't he playing a type of passing game in the Premiership with a squad that perhaps lacks depth due to purse strings controls , club which was up for sale for a while which must have effected the performance of everyone at that club , until Saudi Arabia rocked up !!Quote:

And the winner is :
Mick: Games 1,025 Wins 396 Draws 278 Losses 351 Win % 38.63
Bruce : Games 1,000 Wins 376 Draws 254 Losses 370 Win % 37.60
Neil : Games 1,551 Wins 622 Draws 422 Losses 507 Win % 40.10
Pulis Games 1,137 Wins 410 Draws 338 Losses 389 Win % 36.06
He isn’t going to get £93m to spend here.
Actually, the whole Mick situation makes sense: Newcastle will take him off our hands in return for £5m. That’s why he hasn’t been sacked! 🤣
Win percentages are not the most useful measure where league games are concerned. Average points per game are more meaningful in such circumstances.Quote:

I'd have Bruce.
Brilliant pedigree
Hasn't he said in an interview that he thinks this is the right time for him to retire?
Then again Warnock also said that his job with us would be his last.
If I was just given 8 million pounds I don’t think I’d worry about working ever againQuote:

I don't want Mick, but I wouldn't say "oh bless him he's had a big pay off get on with it" if he was sacked. They're still humans at the end of the day, at some point the line has to stop being crossed.
Call me a hypocrite after I've not been the nicest to MM but after all that's been said I wouldn't think "oh **** him he's had a payoff he's fine"
Whilst walking away, mopping his brow thinking “Thank f*ck for that”.Quote:

Ok, the verbal and written abuse is dreadful, no doubt, but being rewarded with £8 million for failure, c’mon now. I’m sure, if you needed help Harley St is within financial reach rather than the Heath Hospital waiting room.Quote:

I just don't think a manager getting a payoff means he can't have any feelings, it doesn't make the abuse go away they still feel it even with the money in the bank. They'll get over it but not in the short term.
Imagine being Cardiff City manager and the ccmb boys started saying mean things about you….. I for one would be mortified.
Of course they’ve got feelings but it’s done, over, kaput. In most jobs you get peddled without a sausage for failure. Ok, he had abuse but in Bruce’s case I’m sure the accolades he had when playing and the bits of success as a manager he’s had far outweigh it. He had a fair old career, winning things left, right and centre and has been in the dug out as a manager a thousand times. He’s no rookie, he’s not new to the game, he knows what it’s all about, it goes with the territory. No bugger would become involved in football administration if they melted at the brickbats. Nigh on every manager takes the job with a fair old chance it’ll all end in tears, it’s no shock. I’m sure they balance things out. If the abuse has got to him it’s taken it’s time, a thousand games. £8 million pay off boo hoo.Quote:

Wow. ZERO clean sheets. Not even a 0-0 draw.Quote:

He also apparently was OK with being publicly humiliated in return for a £7M payout. He's a multi-millionaire, has an armful of medals and has managed 1000 league games in the top two divisions. He has a wife and children and can now retire very comfortably at just 60. Life could be worse. A lot worse.Quote:
