TRon Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Just thinking, how weird is it going to be, assuming the takeover goes through, watching Bruce as our manager for the remaining games? He's going to look absolutely redundant. Well, even more so than usual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Given the infrastructure changes needed, the sooner this twat is binned the better. If the season restarts, will be much better to give a new man the time to plan and prepare for next season. There won’t be any sort of meaningful pre-season for preparations for any prospective new manager anyway, so get the cabbage cunt out ASAP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BirtleyMag Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 If Pochettino is the top target then don’t we have to wait until June to get him for nothing? Training is due back on 18th May so it would only be 2 weeks until he could link up with the team. I guess we’ll get an answer this week on whether the league will restart so that will give us a better idea of the timescales between now and the restart, as well as the period between this season finishing and next season starting. As mentioned above, it looks like we’ll have a shorter pre season so surely it’s better to get a new manager in for the last few games and assess the squad? I think it will give us a much better chance of doing well next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Carrick18 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Tommy Elphick with a less than glowing appraisal of Steve (via the Athletic). https://theathletic.com/1810172/ “But for so long (after) I just didn’t know where I stood with Steve. The bottom line is he just didn’t rate me, but I wish he would have told me that so I could have proved him wrong (by playing) elsewhere.” All seemed well for Elphick. He was on the bench for the next two games before discussing the future further with Bruce later in January as the transfer window had opened. “I have the same conversation with him and leave the office with his last words: ‘You’re not going anywhere, you’re staying’ in my head,” Elphick continues. “I said: ‘Great, let’s stick together and get promoted’. “So then I go and have my lunch, get into the car and my phone starts going off with an unrecognised number flashing up. It’s Mick McCarthy (then Ipswich manager). He says: ‘I want to know where your head is at. Brucie has told me that he’s not having you and that I can take you on loan’. “I said: ‘Are you sure? I’ve just left his office!’ That was my time under Steve, I didn’t know whether I was coming or going! “I’d go back and see him and ask him what all of it was about and he would say that he was just trying to do what was best by me and that he was leaving all the options available (as the transfer window was open and he wasn’t playing).” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly has an open door policy to support his players. Clearly shows Steve cares for players beyond even what the player and he himself even thinks. Proactive, innovative a friend for every occasion. Steve Bruce. #justiceforsteve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Steve Bruce being disingenuous. Colour me absolutely fucking flabbergasted. That story sums up Bruce's lack of spine to a tee. Couldn't tell Elphick to his face he didn't want him, waited until he was out of his office before trying to get rid of him. Mr Nice Guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under Rafa they all, likely, had a sense of purpose and a shared vision, now everything seems rather vague. Redknapp: Give Bruce a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooonDoom Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Bruce: You have to remember that they have had eight weeks off and that is probably the longest break some of these players have had in their careers Jose: "I am extremely proud of the way my players have maintained their fitness - they have shown great professionalism, passion and dedication. "We have all been working extremely hard through remote squad training sessions and isolated running now the pitches are available to use again at the training centre. "Every player has been extremely committed in terms of their individual work and now we wait for clearance to commence working in small groups again, which I will fully support."

wormy Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I've changed my mind. If/when we get taken over he should be given a chance. I want him to stand in front of his new employers and explain to them the innovative sports science he would implement to further the team's continual improvement. Fuck it. Let's get the process televised and see how he compares to the other candidates. I'm sure we'll realise how hard done by safe pair of hands dear ol' Blighty managers have been down the years.

Raconteur Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Part of me thinks he's being malicious, running the players' fitness down and getting us relegated knowing he's about to be sacked. But then I remember he's just fucking incompetent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
