At least some would be able to be racist in their whining. (Too far ?)

I'm going for "transition" as an outside chance.

We can. The owners don't think it's the best way to go. I'm beginning to think many want him sacked as soon as possible as punishment. Maybe not in the best interests of the club as those in charge seem to think.

In favour of ? We have such a paucity in that area it doesn't matter which we pick. What I was getting at was its daft to think if he somehow flukes a great result he'll be kept any longer.

Do you worry that if Shelvey has a good game we won't see CM as a position we desperately need to upgrade?

You really think he'd be given longer on the back of Sundays result ?

Let him drift...Beardsleyesque.

Exactly who I had in mind.

It would mean saying no now to someone like Conte.

It's also possible that they've asked senior players and those that purport to know the club if we are better off right now, with Bruce or Jones or no one for the immediate future.

Could also be someone comes in as interim Manager then moves on to become DoF type role at the end of the season when the manager/head coach we want is more likely to come.

Pretty sure they can, they just can't talk to a manager employed by someone else without permission.

I had a bond. Dont forget you had your name on your seat as well.

Beyond " we are looking and in talks but we can't say who with" what can they say ?

Not even that he's going to step down. More that he's staying short term to aid the transition. Hopefully short term being as short as possible.

I just can't get my head round the 'let's boo Bruce and give him stick" idea in the current circumstances. Don't applaud don't chant his name but any negativity towards any part if the club will be counterproductive so what's the point. We know hes gone, the sooner the better, but if he's in the dug out on Sunday, will booing him benefit the team or be a negative ?

I don't care if he's there or not, I wont boo him if he is though.....what does that achieve for us now ?

and therefore Jones and the players. Boo the fecking lot.

Ashley was.

So if Bruce goes we have to boo the players and Jones as they are from the previous regime ? It's got so snidey and petty, the abuse laid on to him now is embarrassing, he's gone, he knows it, they know it, my dogs know it....what benefit is there in kicking off on Sunday about it ? It's actively trying to hinder us if it happens.

Totally. Imagine the message we send out to the world, we get what we want but still boo while Staveley will eventually thank him for staying on and helping through our transition.# If he's still here by Sunday natch.

Aren't Jones and the players just as much part of the old regime ? Let the new owners plot their course.

Why ? he's the new owners current manager. Should they boo the players as well ?

And remember all the coaching staff are Bruce/Ashley men as well.

Why would they do that ? The new owners (if he's there) want him there and those fans there should do whatever to support the club. Should they boo players Bruce brought in who they don't think are good enough ?
