Numbers Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 2 minutes ago, 54 said: I think they're fully aware what the feeling is towards Bruce, and he knows hes a dead man, its just a case of when they sack him, if they want all there eggs in a row before making any decision, then that is fair enough. Yep understand that, the worry is they've been talking to the likes of Shearer who would fight Bruces corner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Imagine having all of the baggage that comes with the Saudi involvement and still having Bruce and Charnley here, man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nee chance the mood is toxic on Sunday, even if cabbage remains in the dug-out. Unless we quickly go 3-0 down, which would be perfectly possible I suppose. He'll be gone before then anyway.

They're nice people and will have been used to dealing with people in their line of work with a certain courtesy, this doesn't mean they won't be afraid to make the important decisions. Feet under or over their desks, this is not in any way a tough or difficult decision to make. Whether they are "nice" people or not is for them to prove through their actions. Most, if not everyone, liked Ashley in the beginning too. My confidence in them will be non-existent if they don't bin Bruce before the Spurs match. It's a bad decision from a sporting perspective which will impact the commercial side long term if we don't get any points against spurs and it will immediately sour the relationship they have started building with the fans.

Abacus Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I understand the point about doing things in the right way contractually etc, though that's never a problem for other clubs. Also, you can always put him on gardening leave just to get rid of him. Of course it is very possible that they simply have no idea how bad he is. But I personally really doubt he'll be there by Sunday, or be allowed to do another one of his awful bumbling press conferences. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like it's something that cannot be changed in time by making good, timely decisions going forward (and tbf, there's still time to do it, and I am hopeful and confident that he will be gone). Contrary to Ashley, if they mess something up, we can still hope that they learn from mistakes rather than bookmarking them for eternal re-use.

This is what we wanted, people who think about things before rolling out any old nonsense. 14 years of Ashley is the exact reason why I won't blindly trust they have the best of intentions and do things the right way. They need to prove it to us. I was too naive for too long with Ashley. Won't make that mistake again Whether they sack Bruce, put him on garden leave, simply ask him not to attend the game while assessing his situation/contract whatever - just do something to show us they understand and that they are able to make important decisions.
