Manxst Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Although being employed at another club, contracts etc, may well force the new owners to wait until all seasons are finished one way or another in order to get their man. It’s easier done after a seasons end for a manager to leave his club than to do so during the playing season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate End Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Imagine Bruce being kept on for the 20/21 season. Honestly think it would break me Plus £150million to spend ha. He’d spend the whole of next season banging on about how he’s taken the club further than Rafa who had 1p to spend. Just anybody but Bruce please.

midds Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 No sentiment, no sympathy. Short, concise statement basically saying 'thanks Steve but we've got our own managerial team coming in. Bye and good luck.' Get it over and done with straight away and build on what we've got. 9 competitive games should be enough to show the new bloke exactly what he's working with, who he wants to bin /keep. It's the perfect situation to walk into. No friendlies, no pissing about, let's see who wants to stay and who couldn't give a fuck. Impress the new boss or leave type of thing.

James Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 If the new guy is ready by all means bin him but in the other hand if the new guy isn’t quite available, stick with Bruce until he is Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Pochettino or Nagelsmann for me. Both play offensive football and could both build something for the future. Steve Bruce’s football is pretty offensive in itself tbf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Assuming there is no immediate other success under the new regime would you rather: 1. We win FA Cup and Bruce starts next season as manager 2.

David Edgar Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I would want to win the FA Cup. Seems an obvious choice. Just how much luck would that bloated mollusc need to win an FA Cup with us? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 2, not because of my dislike for Bruce though. Unless FFP is amended we have to spend very wisely if we are to challenge. The thought of Bruce spending this is terrifying and the the effects could be lasting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dislike Bruce but it's easily 1 In a world where we don’t have irony, yes - fetch me my ASBO gun. Ummmm I certainly think your approach is short-sighted. A cup would be great for sure - wasting yet more time with a patsy dinosaur for a manager would not be great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 1 all day. Seems stupid logic to be excited to have new owners who will want us to win trophies but to also turn your nose up at winning the FA Cup. Bruce wouldnt finish next season with option 1 anyway.

ExiledGeordie Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 If Rafa is prepared to come back and he’s seen as the person to oversee the whole project - from transfers to coaching to setting up the academy etc, 20m to buy him out of a contract really isn’t that much in the grand scheme of things Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
