Interpolic Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Imagine being so shit at your job all your co-workers are talking about how shit you are and instead of looking at yourself and having a think you start slagging off your predecessor and your co-workers And hearing your boss plans on adding a non-Steve to your staff because you and the other Steves are that thick and toxic you've lost the support of everyone around you, and not feeling undermined but giving it your "full backing". Since you know your only positive attribute to your boss is not kicking a fuss up about anything and desperate self preservation is all that's mattered to you as a manager for about the last 10 years.

Yorkie Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Do find the Jones stuff a bit interesting. Why is he coming, who has identified him and on who's agenda? You'd have to be quite the patsy to put up with having a completely new coach forced upon you, who you don't know from Adam. It would be pretty undermining. Transfers are a bit more understanding, it's fairly commonplace for managers to have nothing to do with incoming transfers. I'm not saying I agree with that strategy, and I'm not saying that players should justifiably be recruited based on YouTube videos or as agent favours, but it's no secret that squads are often filled with players that coaches are expected to mould into a team. Coaches, though; you'd expect the manager/head coach to have carte blanche over the assistants he needs to implement his vision and ideas. So if he's coming here and it's got nowt to do with Bruce, I'd like to see him try arguing again that he's no yes man. If he's Bruce's man, then it's just another admission of incompetence.

We probably won’t find out if it’s Ashley or Bruce who is bringing him in tbh, Bruce will come out and say it was his choice regardless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 His history (West Brom aside) doesn't match up with Bruce at all though. Honestly Steve Stone to complete the Steve collection would make more sense for Bruce. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Just checked an apperantly Stone was put under investigation by Burnley for bullying. Didn't he spend half a season as Beardsley's assistant in the reserves here? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorpinho Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I really hope the rafa news drives him completely over the edge and into madness.

jackyboy Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Bit worrying to see Mark Hughes appear on Football Focus having not seen him for years.

Carr was really good and despite MA's transfer restrictions managed to get some real talent through the doors. Hope the idea is to fling Bruce from the premises as soon as Jones is sorted.

Assurances of being kept on in Rafa's backroom, instructions to ignore the cabbage. Yeah, would be easy to keep him on I imagine. It's still a step up from being an assistant at Bournemouth, so good for him too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
