midds Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 If you're at the stage where the form of a single player is the only thing that's saving him from the sack then it's already a lost cause. One player masking the total lack of managerial ability is an utterly embarrassing situation to be in for any club, for that to be a PL club should be mortifying for both Bruce and Ashley. It's a damning indictment that he is even in this position, he's the managerial Jerry Maguire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Luke Edwards reckons it could be Bruce DOF and Jones Manager/Head Coach. Must be some weight behind this if it’s Edwards (likely via Bruce). Maybe they’re trying to push him out rather than paying the compensation? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hhtoon Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I'm loathe to read it but hopefully it's a long the lines of keeping him out of the way whilst someone (hopefully) competent can sort the team out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinky Jim Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Luke Edwards reckons it could be Bruce DOF and Jones Manager/Head Coach. TBH if it’s the only way of stopping him from picking the team and being in the dugout, I’d take it for the short period of time. Pretty convinced anyone else in the dugout would get more out of our players than Bruce. Still think there’s enough quality in the team to get enough points for the rest of the season, as long as Bruce isn’t anywhere near the players?

Candi_Hills Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I'm up for that. Get him upstairs and out the way. Give him some files to put in alphabetical order or something so he doesn't feel unwanted. Like a work experience kid. Then we start afresh with the failed Luton gadgie.

Fantail Breeze Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 He shouldn’t be anywhere near the club. Why appoint him as a DOF if a takeover is close? We’re at the end of January, he shouldn’t have any transfers to sanction if we are to be sold before the summer window. We’d need to pay him some form of severance to cancel his current contract, we can’t just change his job title. It’d probably cost less to sack him altogether then pay a severance + his DOF wages, agent fees etc. etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
