Can see why the job would appeal to him for many different reasons and whilst odds can change quickly, they don't usually change so much in such a short space of time, without someone knowing something.
The bookies’ odds are not even a vaguely reliable indicator of who will actually get the job for most ‘next manager’ markets.
As well as still being angry that Rafa has been allowed to go,a large majority of Newcastle fans are seriously dischuffed with the imminent arrival of Steve Bruce, plus Ashley has also approved the sale of Joselu to Alaves for £32.5 million and Ayoze Perez to Leicester for £30 million. Some supporters who normally apply for a Season ticket have said that they are not going to and a good number who have already renewed are now asking the Club for a refund. If he doesn't get some of that money for new signings, you would have to think that Bruce's tenure could be a difficult one.
Better rewarded than at Swillsborough. And at least he can sign players in geordieland, rather than being under a transfer embargo.
My Wednesday work colleague......is not impressed and cannot understand why he would want to go there!! Oh and get this owls are better supported if you take into consideration Sheffield has 2 teams etc he he he.
Headline in today's Mirror is " Badly Bruced". His appointment has not been well recieved on Tyneside. Fans have issued a protest letter saying that he's " not even a safe pair of hands." They are making banners saying " Ashley out, Charnley out and Bruce out" and will have them on display at home games. To compound his misery he joined the team on the pre-season tour to China where they were thumped 4-0 by a rampant Wolverhampton Wanderers side in a friendly.
I'd be less than impressed if he came here so I can understand why they're not happy. He's a terrible appointment in my opinion.
Is there a whinier bunch of babies in all 92 league clubs than Newcastle United? What a deluded bunch of self important absolute fannies.
