mrmojorisin75 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Listening to Mourinho explain Rafas tactics the other day and realising we won't see him pop his glasses into his top pocket and then to have this amateur in charge grinds my gears I do wonder if, once it becomes clear we're down under Bruce, Ashley might go for Mourinho a la the Rafa gamble. One thing he'll have presumably learned is that £6m or whatever for a top class manager is a lot less than £100m you need to prop up a shit one.

One thing he'll have presumably learned is that £6m or whatever for a top class manager is a lot less than £100m you need to prop up a shit one. Even that doesn't work which he found out with McClaren. A good manager is worth his weight in gold, worth more than any player. He could give Bruce £100m and I'd still bank on us going down. He gave Rafa nowt and we ended up 10th and 13th with the smallest transfer budget in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Mourinho wouldnt touch us with a 10ft barge pole. Not for any money. Not so sure anymore, Mourinho seems to be going through a midlife crisis or something at the moment. Not saying it'll happen I just wonder when Bruce walks or is binned whether he'll aim for the quality route instead of the PFM route. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 He definitely won’t aim for the quality route. Not if it involves paying money or giving up the dodgy transfer strategy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Norwich were in the Championship last season so you'd think Bruce would have known more about their style of play than most other teams we are going to face.

Well yes and no - if what I have read on here is true that we paid several million to get Bruce from SheffW and Bruce has a multimillion payoff clause? You could get some quality if you are prepared to do that imo. But totally agree that no one of quality would want the gig because of the transfer policy, can’ t understand why.............
