toon25 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Alex Bruce most likely. Someone to put out the cones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobS Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 if its someone who will operate beneath Cabbage, then its going to make no difference is it. And if its a DOF style position, unless their gonna instantly sack the useless cabbagey cunt then ts also gonna make no difference surely? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdm Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 It’s likely completely untrue. Is football insider even a proper source? If it is true it’s seems a bit strange. Maybe this person is someone the buyers have chosen until deal is complete. A compromise? Like I say tho probably bollocks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 If Bruce remains in charge of tactics, we're fucked no matter who we bring in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Probably bollocks but could see it happening. Ashley won't need to sack Bruce which saves him money, new owners can get get somebody of their choosing and when they take over get rid themselves. That's dependant on how confident/close a take over is (and all hope on my part) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 It'll be throwing good money after bad. No shock that Ashley again thinks he knows better than everything that's ever happened in the history of football. Just sack the manager because he's completely useless ffs.

Yorkie Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Someone cheap with the potential to step in immediately should they decide Bruce has to be jettisoned? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I've always maintained that a lot of these PFMs would get on much better if they just hired at least one top coach who was a bit more of a modern thinker as far as football and tactics, and then the PFMs could just carry on with their MR. Motivator schtick, but they're too full of it to do so. If this whole thing is true it will be very interesting to see what the position is and who the person coming in is too. Embarrassing that they have to coddle Bruce this way and bring in someone to make him look better, when they should really just sack him, but this is cheaper isn't it ... and so there you go.

deejeck Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 What's worse than having one shit manager? Looks like Ashley has the answer. I remember Boro doing something similar by bringing in Venables to assist Robson when they went on a bad run. Can anyone remember whether that was a success or not?
