Yorkie Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 The very best players are famous of course for having poor work ethic and poor team spirit. That's why they're star players. Utter PFM riddled guff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Swear he brought Dugarry in at Birmingham and said he was one of the best players he worked with Savage bangs on about this all the time n all. Basically kept them up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 If it wasn't for two foreign star players in our team last year we'd be playing in the Championship Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Ah, of course, because all 'star players' (whatever that means) lack work ethic and camaraderie. Amazing insight He knows he won't be given the money to sign star players, so he's basically talking up the poundshop value players he'll have to recruit instead. He's doing the job he's paid for I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Several reports of what we already know. No big spending and only trying to source out loans or cheap/free transfers. Also the shortlist Bruce has drawn up likely doesnt align with what the club hierarchy have interest in spending. Can see Bruce tripping into the boardroom to complain and just getting repeatedly slapped and humiliated. "so, what you going to do about it? *slap* do something *slap* anything? *slap* thought not. Now get out of my office. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Well it's backs against the wall. The lads feel hard done by the reports in the media and want to prove a point. I have full confidence in the players we have here and can't wait for the season to start. The lads are ready, I'm ready and I think they will have a terrific season if they stick together and provide more of the fight and performances they showed last year.

"Proved last year that we're more than capable of staying in this league. Took a long time for the lads to get used to a more attacking approach but I think you'll see those improvement just from the stats. Delighted that we've tied down big Andy and Ritchie to new deals and also convinced young Matty that we're positively going to attempt to stay in this league. This is a solid set of lads, their spirit is the best I've seen in all my years of management. Would I like to add a couple of names? Of course, which manager wouldn't, but I won't be too worried going into this season with this great squad" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tragic thing is that its totally believable, and makes us sound like a 'plucky championship team' who fluked their way through the playoffs for promotion and stayed up with a last minute deflection on the last day of the season.

wormy Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 It's smug as fuck but I just can't get mad at his stupid face this time when he's calling out know-nothing 'journalism' after the shit the majority have touted for the past four months. Who knows, maybe it'll also upset one or two people at Sky and they decide it'd be more fun to call out his shit management next season? That'd be nice.

Not a big deal. I know. I wasn't being facetious. Of course he hasn't done anything wrong. He's just permanently rank, is all. No need to spend another season leaping to his defence.
