Rafalove Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I can’t help but wonder if pif/staveley have some kind of day over This. With Wilson/Fraser/Lewis and now being this proactive in giving players better wages, we seem to resemble something of a football club that is ran up to an okayish standard.

TRon Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 No real surprise that the local rags are bigging up Bruce being a big factor in the contract extension. We already know Brucey is every player's best pal. It only works at clubs who have no ambition to win anything therefore are happy to hand new contracts to the likes of Shelvey and Ritchie. St Max is only getting a pay rise because he was basically on the same wages as Steve Taylor was a decade ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I don't get this clamour for giving players higher wages. They earn enough. Yes, they most likely [in an economic sense] deserve their obscene salaries. But that is only justified by the amounts that they make for the big boys. You've got people on one page, wanting to stick it to the PL and their partners, and then every time somebody asks for another annual salary PER WEEK, everybody is up in arms at even the slightest reluctance to submit. Every salary hike cements the relationship with the big boys and leaves the paying fan at their mercy. I'd love nothing more than to see people continue donating to charity as opposed to lining the lining in the pockets of the super rich. But if we vote with our wallets then we are driving our clubs even further into the hands of those that will destroy it. We need to take a stand that will undoubtedly restrict the earning ability of those stars that make the game enjoyable. Otherwise we may as well just piss in our own faces. Why wait for the off chance of a windy day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happinesstan Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 How do you watch football? Do you have a sky subscription? Do I fuck. Haven't had one this millenium. But. You're absolutely correct. I haven't donated a penny to the footballing gravy train in over 20 years, so it doesn't affect me, so why would I complain? Maybe the fact that the game I love has, slowly [because too quickly raises objections] gone to shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consortium of one Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Ashley wouldn't be doing this kind of deal without someone working with him to get it it done. I do believe the TAKEOVER is inching forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe the TAKEOVER is inching forward. Have to agree with this too. There has been a couple of sensible decisions in amongst all the usual cluster fuck, that are way out of character for us usually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 An area I have to give Brucey credit for is that the players genuinely do seem to like him, however I do worry this is basically because he doesn't actually make them do the drills and hard work a proper manager does...

Infinitely Content Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 An area I have to give Brucey credit for is that the players genuinely do seem to like him, however I do worry this is basically because he doesn't actually make them do the drills and hard work a proper manager does... If that were true, it would possibly make you question the ambitions/mentality of some of the players. I'm sure the Liverpool players, some of whom were average before working with Klopp love him for making them winners. The way they play suggests training must be very difficult, gruelling even, but without Klopp half of that team would be begin to look very average imo. It's all speculation though, who knows what the players think of Bruce, or how difficult training is, or what Saint-Maximin was being paid before and what he's on now. We haven't got a clue about anything as fans other than what we see on the pitch really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Prefer him in wider areas where he has more space to run at people all game. Playing him through the middle, particularly in Bruce's anti football mess, is not going to work out well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty66 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Shocking today tbh. Doesn't bother me a bit because we all know how deadly he can be on his day. Some of his first touches today were very "un-maximin like" He kept trying to take people on though even though wolves quickly crowded him out. Just hope we get to see him play under a proper attacking organized manager before he leaves the club ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPL Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Anytime he touched the ball, he had like 2-3 players on him. Against inferior teams it may have worked but he couldn't get in the game and was dropping deep just to get a touch of the ball at times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against inferior teams it may have worked but he couldn't get in the game and was dropping deep just to get a touch of the ball at times. I can see this happening a lot more. Teams will start to work out how to nuilify him and Bruce won’t have an answer for it. A decent manager would find a way so we can get the ball to him in space where he can do some damage but it won’t happen here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Got his big contract, set for life so now he can take his foot off the pedal and coast for several years.... I am joking, but when have these big long contracts ever worked out for us? Seems the majority go off the boil the moment they sign it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Don't think he it suits him being central. I don't mind him getting the ball on the wing and dribbling into the centre though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugoinufc Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 He should only play on the left, Fraser on the right and Almiron in the middle if all are playing at the same time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
