El Hozzo Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 keep calm. We are better than we were. We won't sack people over the phone like in the Ashley days. Whether you think Bruce deserves it or not, he will be treated professionally, especially since the whole world (including potential new managers) will be watching. Won't be long now ...

Pardew wasn't just a terrible manager, he was an absolute fucking vampire. I think the difference is that I still cared during the Pardew years. Haven’t really given much of a shit since Rafa left.

Tsunami Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Bruce spent Friday afternoon in the bar at Close House, in a corner. He’ll be back there this afternoon with a bit luck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I refuse to believe these don’t have a plan in place. Yeah rafa isn’t available and yes they didn’t expect to happen this quick but surely they still had plans if they eventually thought it would go through.

Yeah, I'm sure they had a continuous shortlist of options and ideas of what direction they might go. There's a lot to sort out but they seem pretty good people to be tasked with doing it. Not that everything will be perfect of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 It feels less like they don't have a plan in place and more like they're keeping journos in the dark about it. They're hardly going to be leaking details of the operation to the wider public. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Good point made about keeping it professional. They’ll treat Bruce like any other, with dignity and respect removing any emotion out of the situation. That’s fair enough and sets the tone going forward. yes they’ve been caught on the hop but I think they’ll have irons in the fire and they’re just seeing who is interested at this moment in time and that is different to who was back when this started and would change again at the end of the year. Plan is the same. Get the best manager possible as quickly as they can but without rushing it and making a mistake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awaymag Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Media, dont know what they have planned. Just look at all rumours and that flying round - 99.9% are just guesses. If they are going down the Sport Director route then - this needs to be sorted 1st before a manager is hired. Still fire Bruce and put Jones in as caretaker.

Its just the most awkward time because of our position. it being mid-season the managers that were the top choices (Rafa, Poch) newly in good jobs and their not really having to settle for second best gives them so many options. Its a real conundrum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 If it was up to me he'd be gone already, but I don't really care as long as he is gone before the spurs match. If they keep him on for any longer, early concerns needs to be raised. No matter how unprepared and sudden the takeover came about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
