Billy Pilgrim Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Probably want the rest of the week to hire somebody before sacking him. He has to go and will but I don’t see much point in appointing a potter or lampard for six months in a relegation fight when we could wait a month and get what we want.

I can't say I've watched too much of us this season, but what happened to the split striker system? By the sounds of it we've gone back to standing off in a 5-4-1? Ditched it last season after we were shit at it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdm Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 He can’t possibly stay in the job this week. The players will know he’s a dead man walking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see, neither are preferable but at least we were getting the odd result. It seemed to suit Willock a lot better too. Until the takeover, I'd lost all interest in this season, so I've lost track.

They find his replacement then sack him. He will not be staying long term. Amanda has had little time to work with this so we need to be patient and trust her.

FinnMag Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 (edited) That Lampard rumour still give me a shivers. He could be as equally hated as Pardew if they appoint him Edited October 11, 2021 by FinnMag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awaymag Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 lets see how the week pans out. I think they should have got rid today but Im not the owner. If he is still here for the game on Sunday then I think Amanda may be shocked by the reaction of the crowd to Bruce especially if we start losing.

thomas Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Not entirely bothered. Every stay of execution gives him more hope of hitting 1000, making seeing it snatched away at the last second that much sweeter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinho lad Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Not looking forward to the Bruce cry-fest in the media. (and in some way, looking forward to it - I just hope they wipe their tears as soon as possible, the cunts). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

deejeck Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Downie saying that Steve Bruce is currently taking training, then they showed a zoomed in shot of him waddling up and down the edge of the pitch on his own, with his mobile phone to his ear.

Guest reefatoon Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Would be a ridiculous decision to leave him stinking up the place on Sunday. Sure he will be gone before then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I obviously hope he’s crying into his mash tonight but a small part of me wants a rocking St. James’ giving him dog’s abuse for 90 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Just cause he hasn't officially been sacked five minutes after their first meeting doesn't mean he'll be charge on Sunday ffs He'll be gone by the middle of the week, I'm 100% sure of that.

toontownman Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 (edited) Maybe the new ownership is as cold as fuck and want Bruce tortured at SJP. Because he will be if we are losing against Spurs. Maybe they are generous and want him to have his 1000 game before getting the boot. What if we win though, then it's even more awkward. He should have been gone straight off the bat imo. It is a statement of intent that they mean business, not just to the fans but to the players. Dissapointing. But still time yet.

Chicane Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Do we actually think the crowd would be on him that much if was in the dugout? Plenty of our fans like him. Better football than Rafa let's not forget. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 (edited) I mentioned this earlier. Doesnt bother or have the courtesy to come in on Friday to meet the new owners. Then turns up on Monday at 11. What an absolute joke this manager on 999 games is. Utter embarassment. Edited October 11, 2021 by nufcjb Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrolled past a staggeringly thick post (think it was GiveMeSport) earlier listing an achievement from every club Bruce had worked at whilst completely ignoring his massive constant shortcomings (e.g. "Turned Birmingham into an established PL team" but failed to mention him relegating them) which then said "...all this while suffering the loss of his parents in 2018. Steve Bruce deserves MORE RESPECT" What was funny was everything bar his "achievements" at Newcastle and Villa (which were fabricated bullshit anyway) happened before his parents died, and they didn't mention at all his stint at Sheffield Wednesday - you know, the club that bent over backwards for him and gave him over a month off when he wanted to go watch the cricket in homage to his dearly departed dad; the very same club he monumentally fucked over six months later.
