It’s literally what he said at Villa before he was sacked as well 2 wins in 20, what an intimidating record for someone else to try and exceed.

Yorkie Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Yeah, it just completely misses the point. There's a net negative from him still being here. Simply just removing him would improve things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you pretend nothing's wrong, is anything really wrong at all? I think we can feel somewhat optimistic by the fact that, on the whole, we've got a core of players in the squad who aren't total mercenaries. In dire seasons gone by, the squad was populated with people who really couldn't give two shits about staying up or going down. If Bruce really is reviled among the players I wouldn't be surprised if the likes of Lascelles has taken on a de facto leader role, supported by some of the other senior players. They won't be at the point of picking the team, you wouldn't have thought, but they might start playing in spite of Bruce. It's not inconceivable to think that Bruce has literally no control; in fact that's never been convincing for one moment since he arrived. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 (edited) Nothing to see here - move along please! We are doomed. The club will end up blaming supporters for creating unrest online, when relegation is finally confirmed. Just watch!

Ben Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 They certainly looked "upbeat and determined" as they limped off the pitch when they got played off the park last week at Brighton Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlymouthGeordie Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 It is such a non story. Luke has written Bruce has no intention of quitting and the club has no interest or desire to sack him. If both of those points are true (they appear to be given he's still in the job) then why the hell would they all spend the day having "frantic meetings"?

Whitley mag Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 (edited) “Bruce has thought long and hard about his position since the Brighton defeat but is adamant he will not walk away from the fight and does not feel there is anyone who can replace him who would do a better job in the current circumstances”. The best part about this is that he will truly believe the circumstances are not of his own making, and are down to outside forces such as injuries, covid and the mole.

nbthree3 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 It's more or less Carver's "I think I'm the best coach in the Premier League" approach (for this game, for trying to keep the club afloat - you've got to convince yourself you and only you are the best for a certain task otherwise you'll never be able to accomplish it) I think. Not that it defends what most of us can clearly see as lies Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think they’ve been through it too many times now, and Bruce has crushed their spirits. How many times can you fight relegation just to survive and fight relegation again? This time without any decent coaching. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are also people who want to see Bruce get relegated. If he is sacked before, then the PFM brigade will say that he would have kept us up.

jackyboy Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Why would you stay if 95% of your people don't want you there. It's impossible to succeed with that level of support and it must be felt by the players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Mackems will have skewed that 5% as well. It’s probably closer to 97-98% in truth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
