If Bruce stays for however long, its because the new owners think we are better off with him, many faults though he has, than without him and his coaching team in charge, who have been there with him through our "input your own phrase".

SUPERTOON Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I’d expect some more communication from them if not before Sunday then certainly early next week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbthree3 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Change it from cancelled to Jones handles it in that case, another day off so hopefully movement from PIF giving the green light Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 And I have to say as well, it works the other way, if they boot him then it's because they think it's for the benfit of the club. Personally I think it's much of a muchness whether he's there or not, his squad (within reason) his coaching team (again) and I dont think much would change regardless.

Big thing with me is that having Bruce there creates a whole different atmosphere on Sunday. Instead of having the whole crowd behind the team, it’s going to be a case of anti Bruce chants throughout. He needs to go now, Jones in for Sunday and hopefully a new man in next week.

Why would they do that ? The new owners (if he's there) want him there and those fans there should do whatever to support the club. Should they boo players Bruce brought in who they don't think are good enough ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LV Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Ridiculous argument. He should be gone. We need to start the new era with a clean break from the shite that’s gone before. We all need to be pulling in the same direction to build momentum - Club, manager, fans. With Bruce there it won’t happen as he’ll rightly be getting abuse and it’ll completely tarnish the new start. Get him gone and let Jones and some of the academy staff take over until a new manager is found. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafalove Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Completely pointless booing Bruce or acknowledging him at all. Why not focus on creating a positive atmosphere for the players? Bruce is leaving sooner or later. I don’t think Staveley and co, need the fans to send them any messages. We’ve come to an end of fourteen years of Ashley, wor flags are back, we’re finally United, Sunday should be a celebration of that, rather than a day to berate a poor manager.

Imagine the message we send out to the world, we get what we want but still boo while Staveley will eventually thank him for staying on and helping through our transition.# If he's still here by Sunday natch.

So if Bruce goes we have to boo the players and Jones as they are from the previous regime ? It's got so snidey and petty, the abuse laid on to him now is embarrassing, he's gone, he knows it, they know it, my dogs know it....what benefit is there in kicking off on Sunday about it ? It's actively trying to hinder us if it happens. Edited October 13, 2021 by madras Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Well that’s quite the leap to go from my use of the word ‘tarnished’ to ‘its game over for the new owners’ Absolutely not what I said. And of course the players and Jones shouldn’t be booed Madras. They weren’t the problem, Bruce was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
