Rocker Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Liam Kennedy said apart from all signs he’s had info that Jones was selected by someone else and it was forced upon Bruce Of course it was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

huss9 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 would love it if the press conference duties were taken over by Jones, with Bruce sat next to him not allowed to butt in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 So either Jones has been brought in to soon be caretaker manager, or he's a handover to Martinez. Hopefully we're in the endgame, anyway. I reckon Ashley believe he'll be gone in a few weeks, so paying off Bruce can be the Saudis' problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I won’t pretend to know everything about him, but calling him a ‘failed manager’ because of a part-season at Luton is a bit unfair. In the 9 games after he left: Luton won 4, drew 4 and lost 1. In the 9 games before he left: Luton won 4, drew 2 and lost 3. They were already on the ‘road to recovery’ before he left. He was nowhere near a failure with a club who were predicted to finish 24th. He also left due to financial pressures at Luton and not due to his performance. Was supposed to be ‘drew 2’* in the 9 before he left. It won’t let me edit it. It will. The little pencil and paper icon bottom right of your post, to modify message in-line.

People go on like Ashley has to personally pay Bruce off out his own pocket! It will only be a couple of million quid and it will be out the clubs money.

It will only be a couple of million quid and it will be out the clubs money. Said the same about a week or so ago. Really irritates me the way it's constantly phrased by the media and even fans like its Mike's own money. No other team is spoken about in this way. Also £1million should be nothing money to a Premier league team in 2021, especially when the cost if we are relegated is so much more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I can’t see Bruce taking any advice from someone else. You’d need a modicum of intelligence to listen and take advice on board and he has none. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdm Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 This could get quite messy between Bruce and Jones. If Bruce isn’t willing to listen there’s no point Jones being there and if Jones goes over Bruce’s head Ashley could have another Keegan type court case on his hands All very strange Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Great midweek for the fat lad.

If Bruce isn’t willing to listen there’s no point Jones being there and if Jones goes over Bruce’s head Ashley could have another Keegan type court case on his hands All very strange I don't really buy this whole point, that it's some power move instigated above and beyond Bruce. Bruce is obviously a hands-off coach. He won't be taking sessions, so his way of improving things will be to get a new coach to do the 'improving'. That's his way of doing it 'his way'. He'd have obviously consulted Agnew and Clemence as to what their doing (that he's doing) as to why we're turd, probably replaced whatever Steve had more influence - i.e Now lets try Agnew. removes whistle from Clemence - Clemence, it's your turn to layout the cones. Now that hasn't been working, Bruce's answer is to beg the club for months to bring in a new coach. Coincides with statement 'doing it his way' and us not having any money to spend on players or even loans that he stated. Can understand that it lines up nicely, that Jones is brought in to work behind Bruce's back etc, be a third party and eventually step in once Steve's get booted. I think it's a bit of a stretch, and overthinking it all and giving the plonkers that are running the footballing side at board level far too much credit to believe a scenario akin to Bruce is too expensive to sack, he won't quit, so this is cheaper/better way of removing his influence or get him to walk.

TK-421 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Can see Bruce referring to the 'mass hysteria' again after our defeat at Sheff Utd, now they've beaten Man Utd also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
