Disco Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Talk of Carr coming back reminded me (for some reason) - what's wor I an Cathro up to these days? Don't laugh too much at this but I quite liked the guy and when Rafa kept him around I remember having this (laughably naive obviously) idea that Rafa would manage us for like 5-10 years and 'groom' (for lack of a better word) Cathro to take over in some kind of Bobby/Mourinho type deal First team coach at Wolves. Nuno worked with him at Balenthia Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicane Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Ah linked up with Nuno again, fair enough Last I remember was just him getting absolutely crucified in the media by the likes of Kris Boys I think it was Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 There's something wrong with that bloke. He asked the question on twitter during the Staveley farce of Ashley "do you really think he's making this up?". Why, when faced with two further examples, and two years later, is there no introspection of that very question. Never liked him from the time I heard him say, on the radio mind you (in 2008) "Look at the atmosphere". But growing to rather hate him now. I'd pity him if he's just a nerb but no level of thickness can explain professing to be a Newcastle fan and siding with Ashley/Wise Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishops Finger Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Don't know what Bruce is doing tbh. I'd rather be managing a team that wants to be challenging for promotion rather than a team in the premiership gambling with relegation. He won't have many fans on his side, even though he thinks he's "one of us". Just doesn't make sense. The Sheff Wed fans are already turning on him so if this falls through he's lost most of their support aswell. What an idiot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noone else would be stupid enough to give him this opportunity - football managers are egotistical and want to be managing at the top level now.

Yeah, I know what you mean but he'll probably go down as one of our worst managers ever rather than a chance to be a hero by Sheffield Wednesday. He only needs to get them promoted and he'll be managing in the premiership anyway, without the guaranteed pressure he'll be under here. So to me he's still making the wrong decision Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Aye. Rafa sticks out like a sore thumb in that every single other manager in the Ashley era at the time of their employment would never have been considered for any other PL job. Keegan - had been out the game about 5 years Kinnear - had been out the game about 5 years Shearer - TV pundit Hughton - well respected no.2 and coach but had never managed Pardew - sacked by League 1 Southampton Carver - no.2 and had only managed in Canada or as a caretaker McClaren - sacked by Championship Derby and hadn't managed in the top flight for about 8 or 9 years (Rafa) Bruce - sacked by Championship Villa, at Championship Sheff Wed, not managed in top flight for 5 years Ashley targets these types as they'll accept his awful working conditions due to them having fuck all chance of a top job. NUFC or bust. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumbheed Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 So Bruce has accepted a deal to be the lowest paid Premier league manager ad he has agreed to take Carr back The positive in this is that the compensation will be low when he needs sacking. The negative is he'll never get sacked by Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 So today's the day. Most of the finished season discussing, Fake Sheikhs,and ITk arsehole attention seeking weirdos needing their little moments, and now it all boils down to chasing after an ex Sunderland manager with a shameful record as a manager, another nodding dog to sit along side Shola and any other Cretins we decide to bring back through the doors.

Robster Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 In a situation like this, I'm intrigued as to what advice is being given to the person. Surely Bruce's friends and family (a majority of them I would assumed) are telling him to not even think about it. Who is encouraging him that this is a good idea ?

mighty__mag Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 So today's the day. ?? I watched a video with him before not denying hes held talks, and when asked, would he like to become Nufc manager, he went on to say let's see what develops over the weekend. Actual quote was the next 24/48 hours but that was yesterday. Its imminent regardless I'd probably have to say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
