Feels like over the last 18 months there’s a steady stream of leaks about him falling out of various squad members. Expand The ones who know they’re onto a good thing with their days off, lax training, get selected no matter what etc will obviously like him. The ones with potential who feel like they need to progress either via training or pitch time will be glad of him going, I presume. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mofo Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I know everyone wants him sacked immediately, but he is vastly experienced at managing teams struggling to stop up. In reality is there anyone you would rather have? Other managers available haven’t got the experience of struggling at the foot of the table and that to me speaks volumes! One thing Bruce does not do is walk away from a challenge, give him a chance FFS!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yeah the only thing I'm really bothered about here is the fact that it puts a dampener on Sunday. He's obviously gonna go, they either: A, didn't feel that it was sensible to leave the team without any management structure going into the game; B, they want their replacement sorted beforehand; or C, there's some logistical/financial issue in preventing them pulling the trigger immediately - including, potentially, something to do with their own corporate management structure, on account of the sudden breakthrough. It's probably a combination of all three tbh but any one of these reasons are perfectly valid; even A, when you consider they're approaching this with more of a level head than us lot who despise him. It would only be a concern if they were thinking that they wanted to take a look at him with a view to him continuing in post. There's nothing to suggest that's the case and I see absolutely no reason as to why they would. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkeye Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I wonder if the PA announcer tries to make a thing out of it being Steve Bruces' 1000th game as a manager... you know, bring him onto the pitch for the crowd to lend their feelings.....

Jordan Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 So if it’s true, £5.6m isn’t enough for him. Greedy, selfish bastard. Another great thing to thank Ashley for, a 3 year rolling deal ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Zaius Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) If we win on Sunday, I'm not opposed to him sticking around for a few games if we're in decent form. Picking up wins and staying up in objective number one. The new owners need to get a decent structure in place with the right man. That might take time. Lose on Sunday and his position is untenable though. You could even argue that if we fail to win. I don't want us to panic and appoint some chump. Its easy to sit there and say 'anyone is better than Bruce' but we're in trouble here and we've got a poor squad. We might still appoint someone who is default better than Bruce but still not good enough to get us going. Lampard might be in that category.

Bunch of nobody’s talking about how bad Bruce has been treated, how good a manager he is and how good a man he is, and shit you not they were talking about how he lost his parents. Absolutely unbelievable shit being spouted. He really does manage to have these people swallowing his utter tripe. Fuming now, and his shit press conference is not going to help my mood. Expand This is probably a (minor) part of the reason he is still here. Wouldn't surprise me if Staveley and co are reluctant to sack him with his 1000th game coming up to ward off negative media reaction. They know the press will be gunning for them anyway, why add fuel to the fire when they don't have a replacement lined up? I know it pains us to acknowledge it, but they probably feel it would be respectful to let him get this one out of the way before binning him. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if they don't sack him until the DoF is in place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
