Collage Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 What's your assessment of Bruce, Cronky[/member]? I'd like to hear people answer the question that I put - in practical terms, who do you want for the job, that would realistically take it in the current situation? The only suggestions I've come across on the last few pages are the current coach of a youth team in San Diego, and 'any kunt'. Which perhaps amounts to the same thing. Too many to mention, actually. I think Eddie Howe could be interested. I’d take Pearson as a firefighter to keep us up. David Wagner was mentioned on here, I don’t particularly rate him, but would take him temporarily. Warren Barton. Sanchez Flores. And then there are higher rated managers, not impossible that some of them could be interested, especially with a potential takeover looming.

Yorkie Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I only really want a new manager if a relegation battle jeopardises the takeover. If it doesn't, fuck it, we've still got more than half the season left to play so we'll probably still sneak survival. Let him continue embarrassing himself for as long as it's Ashley's club. It's barely a conversation worth having because he's not going anywhere soon and even if he did, there will not be a queue of reputable managers waiting to join the current shitshow. It's a dismal club atm with a very uncertain future in terms of its internal structure. We'd only attract more like Bruce or anyone with a screw loose. If Ashley eventually goes then I wouldn't be particularly fussy about the new manager. Anyone ambitious, competent and honest would be a thoroughly acceptable tonic to the misery of Bruce, McClaren and Pardew. Number one choice for me would always be the return of Rafa; but anyone like him who's interesting, studious, with an affection for the club and where you can really see their vision - that would be amazing. If we could dig up the next Hasenhuttl, that'd be canny. If we're talking pie in the sky, one of the Italians, Mancini or Conte maybe. Gasperini from Atalanta, he seems interesting. Would love an Italian in the dugout tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hhtoon Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 You might have issues with people taking it knowing they might be pushed out if a takeover happens. No offence to the Brentford manager but would PIF spend X in summer and entrust it to an unknown quantity? Howe might seem someone that Ashley could live with and PIF might allow a shot in the mid-term if he turned things around nicely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happinesstan Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 "I have been in there and nearly managed 500 games at this level and if you look at the teams that I have managed in this league I have managed to do OK, down the road (Sunderland), Wigan, Birmingham and Hull. "I've given them the highest finishes they have ever had.” Sunderland under Bruce: Best finish 10th Sunderland under Reid: Best finish 7th Wigan under Bruce: Best finish 11th Wigan under Jewell: Best finish 10th Birmingham under Bruce: Best finish 10th Birmingham under McLeish: Best finish 9th Hull under Bruce : Best finish 16th Hull under Brown: Best finish 17th One out of four correct isn’t bad. He’s just a lying shit. Spouts his drivel and it goes unchallenged so his lies become truth. Unless I’m missing something in the quote that’s obvious?

Interpolic Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 It's honestly the easiest job in world football now. In a thoroughly bleak season it has taken a dismal defeat against a side with 2 points in 17 games for the manager to experience any serious criticism. The remit is to exist with no fuss, if you do that then you're in no danger of losing your job. It's a piece of piss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Aye it does lead to a slack attitude, no the wonder players like Bruce if he gives them such an easy ride, when he loses their respect he loses the team and to me it looks like that process has started.
