NUFC Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Not that it make much difference in the grand scheme of things, but surely Hughton would have been the better option? Well liked here and available for nowt, would have made much more sense. Is this a wind up? In what way? I'm just questioning why they didn't go for Hughton given that he was available for nowt? Hughton is not a PL manager either, nice guy but Championship is his level Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ankles Bennett Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Seems to me this appointment is taking into account Bruce's proven record of getting clubs promoted to the EPL from the Championship, so it looks like they are planning for the inevitable relegation this season!

mrmojorisin75 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 i wonder what is going through bruce's mind, what he thinks he's going to achieve that rafa couldn't and how it's going to end for him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnMag Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 We all knew this shit appointment was coming after Rafa left. Bruce, Howe, Moyes, Warnock, Allardyce...who cares. We are fucked until Ashley leaves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raconteur Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I said about ten pages ago - if Bruce and Shearer are besties, then what sort of advice did Wor Al offer when Bruce was considering the offer? Surely he warned him off? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 i wonder what is going through bruce's mind, what he thinks he's going to achieve that rafa couldn't and how it's going to end for him Lets face it if Wednesday had gone badly he would have been looking at lower half championship/ league one jobs for the rest of his career. It's a chance to restore some prestige regardless of outcome. He will be able to say its the impossible club to succeed at when it all goes wrong.

He will be able to say its the impossible club to succeed at when it all goes wrong. possibly, but he *must* know he's coming straight in after one of our most popular ever managers has been fucked over at absolute best everyone is going to ignore him and direct their hate at ashley, once he starts losing they'll turn right on him though he's fucked, he must know it, guess he loves dollar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he’d robably tell them to f*** off It didn't stop them with Allardyce. Ashley came out and said in an interview that he regretted sacking Allardyce. Hughton would never work for this bunch again. He’s got principles unlike hippo heed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
