    He’s kept us up. He’s finished higher than I expected and he can share the credit being given for that.

    I still want him gone. He is a dinosaur of a manager we need someone better. He is a poor manager as shown by his managerial record.

    One of the reasons fans prefer Rafa is the fact Rafa didn’t become a mouthpiece for Ashley. Another reason is Rafa didn’t slag off the fans for wanting better. Another reason he is disliked IMO is Bruce’s inability to accept and acknowledge proper and fair criticism (not talking about the unacceptable personal abuse which no one should have to experience) and the diverting of blame on to others including players, fans etc.

    He all season has been reducing the target of where we should aim from top of mid table at the start to 17th just before our good run started and now suddenly 12th “isn’t an achievement “. False modesty.

    There are so many more reasons I don’t want him here but these are good as a starter.

    Might I suggest we draw up some guidelines on what's allowed or not allowed on this board

    I assume it's only fine to talk about people the fans don't like in a negative way even if they're doing their job well.?

    It's essentially like some weird cult?


    Well then burn me at the stake because Steve Bruce's done ok man

    If England don’t win the euros then he’s going down in my estimation.

    You can just blame Southgate

    That's how it's been for half a season at Newcastle...Credit Jones when it works or Blame Bruce when it doesn't work.

    Difference being that at NUFC Jones is more than a coach and at England he is just a coach.

    In fact at nufc he's not a coach at all. He's an assistant coach <laugh>

    So that's Ferdinand, Merson, Jordan, Souness and Captain Chaos. Have we missed anyone?

    There’s loads. Although I’m not keen on bashing Bruce it is an interesting read.
