A lot of Newcastle United fans have replied to a post from NUFC 360 which contains comments made by Steve Bruce.
The comments are from September 2019 and state that Bruce wants to ‘try and take the club forward’ – and after the Toon were thrashed 3-0 by Brighton and Hove Albion, it is clear that many Newcastle fans have had enough of him.
Sorry steve, you shouldn’t be here.
Lovely bloke. absolutely horrific manager, he doesn’t understand how to set up a team anymore, as soon as we play a team that press us we fall apart.— Jack (@jchaytor16) September 20, 2020
He may well, but he doesn’t have the knowledge to do that

He can do this quite easily – resign!

Unbelievable, sack him, he’s too obvious. Championship manager

Bruce has now been in charge of Newcastle for over a year, and he has won just 16 games out of his 48 as manager.
Is Bruce out of his depth?
Yes, time to go
No, it was just a bad game
Their Premier League record since Christmas contains just five wins in 22 games, and they were dominated from start to finish by Brighton.
The Toon had a good start to the season with a 2-0 win over West Ham United before beating Blackburn Rovers in the Carabao Cup, but they were 2-0 down inside 10 minutes and didn’t manage a shot on target against Brighton.
So it is no surprise to see that these Newcastle fans are angry, and this post continued to draw the attention of angry Toon fans.
If he means forward from Roman times he may be successful !

Only way could take us forward is by leaving

Next up for Newcastle is a trip to Morecambe in the Carabao Cup before a trip to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League, so the Toon are going to need to respond following their tepid display on Sunday.
However, it is still early in the season, and Newcastle could still bounce back from this, but it is clear that a lot of Newcastle fans have had enough of the former Sunderland boss.
