According to the betting, Bruce is as good as gone.

Nobody really kowns what the new owners think of Bruce. It's a fact that the club has not availed decent amounts for transfers as Rafa would testify, and Bruce was equally effected. So it's not a foregone conclusion that he will be sent packing immediately.

I don't think it's Bruce. People say Newcastle will sack him for a top manager but who? This is basically a wrote off season for them and no manager with some reputation would come now. It's not like a new manager would come in, buy left and right next Jan and somehow qualify for the CL. It's just impossible. They also need time to figure out and settle the new club structure and find a top manager who actually want to come next summer with a good plan. The new manager also need a summer to buy what he want, what the club could and implement his plan, his ideas. So as long as Newcastle is not in immediate danger of relegation Bruce is safe imo.

Looking at our upcomming fixtures after the international break and our current form imo Ole is even more likely to be sacked than Bruce. Probably the biggest candidate.

Imagine if Bruce were sacked and they still would get relegated. Would be hilarious
Would be cringe all these people making out that Bruce was innocent all along and they should have kept him.

Hindsight can't even be used with Vieira. It was quite obvious with his record plus their recruitment they were going to be fine.

That's 5 managers sacked so far in PL: Munoz, Bruce, Nuno, Farke and Dean Smith, with Ole of course and perhaps Benitez in trouble. Leeds not been great so far this season so today is huge game for Bielsa too I guess? Ranieri will always be in trouble at Watford.

With Ole sacked that's 6 managers losing their jobs already and it's only November. Wonder who could be next one? Leeds haven't been great so far but we'll see if Bielsa can improve the situation. Benitez's Everton aren't great atm either, 3 losses and 2 draws in last 5 games. Ranieri obviously bought himself some time yesterday :lol:

Only possibles right this second seem to be Dyche, Bielsla, Frank, Benitez and Rodgers. Everyone else doing ok or have already made a change.

Dyche - Burnley have been loyal to him in the past but if a gap opens up to safety I could see it. He may even be tired of the grind himself.

Biesla - Another one you'd doubt would get the chop on the face of it because he should have credit in the bank but isn't he somewhat volatile himself? Could walk.

Frank - 1 point from 5 matches but had a good start and is legend for getting them promoted to begin with, should be ok but you never know if they keep losing

Benitez - Same form as Brentford and higher expectations, some fans never wanted him, in trouble

Rodgers - Looked like they might be on the up after a slow start when they beat us and Brentford but results have tailed off again

Rafa is on the brink, Rodgers has got credit but they look so erratic and I feel Bielsa might resign, although they have good fixtures coming up now.

Everton's run looks bad, they have Brentford, Pool, Arsenal, Palace, Chelsea, Leicester...no way he survives. Money on Rafa next.

Average looking PL run. He could win at least four of those.
