STM Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 The longer he lingers, the happier I am because that means we are putting real thought and effort into who comes in. If reports of us being rejected by Zidane are true, we are aiming high. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I've never really understood the hatred here if I'm being perfectly honest. I mean, he's a shit manager, but I can't blame him for taking the job after Ashley offered it. For me he's been nowhere near as obnoxious as Pardew who was the personification of everything bad Ashley stood for. Bruce is having us punch below our weight and he needs to be replaced, but I understand and respect that it will take some time and that Bruce and his crew are kept on while that is being sorted out. The only alternative was to make Bruce a sacrificial lamb and give Jones the reigns temporarily, but would that have worked? It won't be long now guys. Here's hoping the wave of optimism will carry the side to beat Spurs at the weekend and on an upward trajectory with a new DoF and manager to look forward to.

Agree but yes, it would have worked with just Jones imo, Harper and reserve coaches filling in. Keeping Bruce is all PR imo. I don't blame them for that either, even if at the first chance of giving Bruce a mic it has almost blown up in their faces! Hope he is gone Monday.

Happinesstan Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Meh. Disappointing but understandable, and probably the right decision. If the players know he's a dead man walking they might pull a performance out of their arses. Nothing is going to dampen my satisfaction that Ashley has gone.

Well, I'm with you on Pardew being more obnoxious, I won't ever detest a manager as much as I detested him. For me Bruce is just more pathetic and whiny. What really narks me about both of them is that they are frauds earning a living from being terrible at their jobs, mostly because they are British. I don't hate Bruce personally, just find it impossible to have even an ounce of respect for him. Hanging on for his payout despite being a multi-millionaire. Take your (our) money and bounce you fat fraud. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's another to be a shit manager and snidely shift blame to others, Not only that, he bolted from a team to take this job. He knew (or should have known) what he was getting into. Even that presser, no, no, no its not about me but then take a pop at the journos for speculating about him. Based on everything I've observed since he's come here he's shit manager with low character to boot.
