With all the interest Newcastle had with Steve Bruce a while back, does anyone else think it's possible that when Bruce renewed his contract a clause was put in about giving him the sack? ie huge compensation? ... With Sulivan's recent comments I'm starting to wonder whether it's not a case of loyalty, but that we *can't* sack Bruce? ... Hmm? |

yes this is the reason they dont want to sack him as they would have to pay too much compo. This must have been inserted when he rejected Newcastle |

I believe it would cost us around £2mil to sack Bruce in compensation. |

I would suggest that is a more likely reason for Sullivan being so loyal, although if we go down to Championship surely loss of revenue from leaving the Prem would be greater than 2 million??? |

There is a clause in Bruces contract, if we sack Bruce now we'd have to pay him 4m in compensation, but if we get relegated we only have to pay him 1m compensation. |

Our owners havent made as much money and been as succesful as they have been by being loyal. The only reason Bruce is still in a job is because it would cost too much to get rid of him. If Bruce could be sacked for 500k, i think he'd have been long gone by now,. |

Sacking bruce = 2 - 4 million, relagation = 15 - 20 million+ the maths are easy - so its out of loyalty, although whether its blind loyalty reamins to be seen |

if they wanted rid, and thought the new guy would keep us up, it more than pays for itself - so thats not the reason, its genuine loyalty,something lots of people wouldnt recognise if it bit their balls ;) |
