LionOfGosforth Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Here, how much do you want for Bruce? £4m How about £500k? Are they beyond the monitoring stage yet I wonder? Better slow down, we need snail's pace progress man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny36 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Didnt Bruce leave Hull over lack of signings. Certain he clashed with the owner.. Will get the very same here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Wonder if one of his selling points is that if he accidentally qualifies for Europe he’ll fuck it off double quick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Can’t blame him for taking the job like. Any other mediocre manager would jump at the chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 What I can never get my head around is the fact all these managers are multi millionaires. They don't 'need' to work but someone is going to take a role where they know they'll be disliked from the off. Who is so deluded that they think they can win over a hostile fan base at a club which is totally toxic due to the hated owner and thinks they can enhance their reputation?

Yorkie Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Can’t blame him for taking the job like. Any other mediocre manager would jump at the chance. Come here, we won't let you build a team and you're not allowed to get close to anything vaguely resembling success. Even mediocre managers would be telling them to get fucked unless they were getting at least double their worth in a salary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chance for him “move home” before retiring on the hefty payout he’ll get when inevitably sacked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Think they tend to have a lot of self belief too, so Bruce et all will be convinced they can be successful and this is too big an opportunity to pass up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even mediocre managers would be telling them to get fucked unless they were getting at least double their worth in a salary. I wouldn't be too surprised if his track record of a few promotions with different teams has been a "factor" in the approach since we're quite obviously going to be relegated this season. Or am I giving our fat spiteful bastard of an owner too much credit for forward planning? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Found this pretty incredible when I saw it earlier this week. In 10 years Sheff Wed have only sold 9 players for actual money: Us getting their manager will be one of their record outgoings Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tribesman Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I'm not sure which would be more embarrassing hiring Bruce or being turned down by him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Can’t appoint him too soon man. That’d give him 4 weeks or so to want to sign a few players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Facundo Ferreyra Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Reminds me of Mike Bassett: England Manager this. No fucker else will take the job so we get some embarrassment from a lower league.
