Nuwtfly Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Steve Bruce has resigned as manager of Sheffield Wednesday this morning in order to force through his dream move to Newcastle. And I thought we had it bad with Lamps!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintRam Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 How incredible it would be if Newcastle hired someone else. A man can dream. See, you can call me naive, but if Lampard's dream job was a club that was unwilling to pay proper compensation, I don't think he'd have resigned to force it through. Still glad that it was Chelsea so that scenario had no chance of being tested ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenBr Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Lost a lot of respect for him for that. I assume that means Newcastle don't have to pay the £5 mill compensation now then? If I was Shef Wednesday I'd tell Newcastle to do one and then take them to court for the full amount of compensation detailed in his contract before he jumped ship. In fact I'd be trying to add damages on top of that as well for the impact this will have on their season. Both clubs have to agree the compensation amount between them and frankly I think Wednesday have a strong case here for inducement to breach contract by Newcastle.

Millenniumram Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Christ and we thought Chelsea were bad, Newcastle really taking the piss here refusing to pay the full compensation and creating this mess. Managers and their staff shouldn’t be resigning like this to force things through, it should be handled between the clubs. Expected nothing less from mike Ashley mind. Not right for Bruce to be getting involved trying to force things either, should just have got on with his job. Proper mess really, and the daft thing is even with this resignation Newcastle will still have to pay compensation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Probably best thing for the club, can move on now and replace him whilst arguing over the compensation on the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resigned to force a move through to Birmingham, but Simon Jordan won a high court injunction to stop him leaving without working 9 months of his notice period. In the end Palace only got 500k compensation, but it was double the original offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nottingram Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Sheffield Wednesday are amongst a few clubs I will never ever feel sorry for, and I don’t even know why. Might be to do with their arrogant fans I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Steve Bruce is an absolutely deplorable human being for his actions at Sheffield Wednesday. Not a club I’m overly fond of, but genuinely hope the potato head never gets another job after he’s relegated Newcastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Not sure Hughton would touch it with the financial situation there, not that he's a manager who needs lots of money, just after his time at Brighton might feel a better opportunity will come along. Monk is a weird one with the case Boro are building against him and his agent, probably best not to go there until that has played out. Karanka and Rowett would be good choices for them if the Wednesday fans don't have similar expectations as other clubs....ahem. They have just had Bruce though so you would think they are fairly open to the idea of different styles. Was told Rowett was one of the most hard working managers behind the scenes, can't forget what he did with that Birmingham team. Karanka not living too far away, lot of similarities between Forest and Wednesday. Keane, ugh. Pearson would be a punt, terrible time here but look at McClaren at Forest before he came here. Sometimes things just click. Pulis, doubt he would. Maybe in a year or two if no other offers come in, but like Hughton I guess would feel the job is a bit below him. Cowley, no idea. Rowett, Karanka or Pearson in that order. They will probably bring in some rogue from Ukraine though that nobody has heard of. Bookies initial lists are always the usual suspects, Cocu and Lampard never appeared on ours until it was all but done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Imagine being a Premier League club in 2019 and thinking that hiring Steve Bruce is a good idea. He had the best squad in the division by absolutely miles at Villa and couldn't get them above mid table. The game has totally moved on from him, he's done. He won't last a year at Newcastle.

RadioactiveWaste Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I think Karaka's huffy ability to fall out with his club may be the thing to make him ideal for Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
