Benwell Lad Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Mackems have to realise that the way their club is now structured getting rid of Bruce is not an easy option and to do so will not be some magic wand act which will make things improve. Bruce has been totally backed by the power brokers in the club, Quinn and Short, to an extent where the entire infrastructure and squad is a Bruce creation. They barely have the resources to buy out Bruce's long and lucrative contract let alone an entire coaching and backroom staff and it's unlikely a new manager would wish to have Bruce's buddies imposed on him. That's not to mention the paying squad - the ridiculous contracts they have handed out to the likes of Brown, O'Shea etc means they will be going nowhere for quite a while so any new guy would be pretty much dealing with the sub-standard players they already have. All in all they look pretty facked with or without Bruce due to the faith that was placed in him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Looking objectively without too much mackem hate, what is there problem? Just a lack of hunger so they can't kill a game off? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difficult as that supposition may be Ian, I think it runs a lot deeper than that mate. They have allowed a bad manager to spend unpreceded amounts of money and the situation looks pretty rotten from top to bottom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a lack of hunger so they can't kill a game off? No decent striker, no left winger, no proper full backs and a shite boss who subscribes to the square peg = round hole style of management.

Guest Haris Vuckic Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 They need to remember that Gary was adored on Tyneside and he was here for 6 years - the majority of those years had success modern Sunderland has never reached - i.e uefa cup and champions league qualifications & cup finals.

I find it upsetting every time I hear about a young soldier losing his/her life in Afghanistan. I didn't find Speed's suicide upsetting as all. Apologies if this doesn't fit. FFS. Why wouldn't anyone find the fact that a nice bloke (by most accounts) who has a family killed himself at the age of 43, the fact that its a formal player who played for your team is irrelevant. A person killing themselves is tragic. I assume this jack ass is a football fan? How can any football fan not feel upset about this in anyway? Surely team loyalties are irrelevant in this situation.

No Steve, but you probably could do something about the fatness. :spit: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
