Newcastle Utd (and Viz)

If they are going to replace the manager, then replace the manager. It's almost like they have no idea what to do. Wouldn't surprise me they are waiting to lose a game then will do it.

They'll likely either wait until they get beat Sunday or until he gets them safe in the table as doubt any good level manager will want the job at present whilst they are in the bottom 3.

Bruce is going to go through the motions in order to get his pay off I think

He must know his days are numbered there, but he'll do what needs to be done to honour the contract until they finally soup can him

Resign now, or wait a week and claim £8m.

I know what I'd do. The club have been really poor with Bruce and basically made him a laughing stock. Yes, they're struggling, but the way the media and the club have allowed him to be made some joke has been quite poor. He's tried his best, even if that's not good enough.
 
It’s who do they get? It’s still 3 months till Jan, they got a crap team and a horrible run of fixtures. Last thing a new manager will want is 3 months of losing, with a team that will be less motivated as they are all getting replaced

That last bit is probably why they're in the situation they are to begin with

They should be viewing it as 3 months where they can smash it and show they deserve to stay

The fans mostly just hate Bruce. If the players start turning it on then there's every chance they could either remain part of the squad or at least put themselves in the shop window

The general attitude at that club has stank for yonks

Must admit even though I don’t particularly like Bruce he is being treated badly, dead man walking personified. Suppose he just sits it out to honour contract but still it is not very classy by Newcastle but I guess what do you expect o_O

He wants to follow the example of the 5th tier German manager Markus Kay. The club owner accused him of being motionless and sitting there like a fisherman so on the last day in charge turned up in full fishing gear complete with rod.

The more I think about it, Rodgers seems to make the most sense in a lot of ways. He usually does well when he first rocks up to a club and he's a money/fame hungry weasel who will happily jump from Leicester

Leicester probably won't be too arsed either. They'll collect their compo and then make the right appointment for them. It's a very well run club

Mate, its a sad fact that wherever Bruce is, after a few months He's Always a Deadman Walking...90 % of Managers are, just like Rodgers
