midds Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Removing the current manager is the only prescient decision they need to make in the immediate future. He's a clear and obvious millstone, he needs to be removed from the equation immediately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 It's a boys club, but we knew that for some time. Rafa brought dignity and professionalism back but all his work was undone within the 1st few weeks of Bruce arriving. Whole club is amateur. Saudis would.be better of folding it and starting again.

KaKa Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 We've legit got a manager that is scheduling multiple days a week off training so he doesn't have to go in to work Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 17 minutes ago, Shadow Puppets said: You really are relentless in your negativity aren’t you? ? Do you not understand that the club has literally ZERO footballing executives in place? They have owned the club for 10 days. Bruce IS leaving. They’re just getting things aligned. Things aren’t always as simple as making things happen immediately because Twitter says it needs to. Just have some patience (and trust) man. You’re working yourself into a frenzy over something you have no understanding of. The transfer window comment was a joke However be as positive or spin it however you want but it is not acceptable that Steve Bruce is still manager regardless of the circumstances Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 People are giving the new ownership the benefit of the doubt, which is fair enough, they've been there for seven working days, but in isolation this decision is as straight forward as it gets.

Darth Crooks Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) I get the PR given everything controversial surrounding PIF and the PL. Binning off a popular PL old boy prior to 1000th game is not a good look and optics matter. Panders to hogwash sentiment but I see the logic. After this point it’s almost impossible to rationalise. Oddly perhaps they are speaking & listening to too many football people, who cite his good standing/golf handicap.

Wolfcastle Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 If this had happened a few months earlier, Rafa would probably be the manager now and advising them what needs done to build a football infrastructure. I wonder what infrastructural advice Bruce's 20years in management and 40years in football have brought to bear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

duo Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I just want to see some intent now - get Bruce sacked NOW and throw the cheque book at Conte. He'd get us out of this mess and build a title challenging team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbthree3 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 He's here because a new manager isn't totally lined up, ready to go. Like when Rafa was all done before we pulled the trigger on McClaren. Far as I'm aware, Bruce is McClaren managing 'until he's told otherwise' and whether that takes a day, a week, a month more... he's not being sacked. Ideally he'd have gone the day after the takeover announcement but for whatever reason PIF especially are taking a lot of time, risking a few games (before an especially bad patch in December when we can't buy our way out of things) for the benefit the future might bring Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 The 'future' is edging towards the fucking Championship and another 2 or 3 years set back from where we want to be. They should be shot with shite if this wanker isn't sacked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 They've handled this so badly, there's no redeeming benefit of him staying a moment longer when you look at it. We haven't won a game all season, there's no risk to making the change even if an academy coach has to step in for a game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I mean, it's not like he's managed Aston Villa, Newcastle and Sunderland for significant periods of time. Some of the most illustrious football clubs in England.

Yorkie Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I hope they hold their nerve and get the right appointment as opposed to panicking. But clearly they need to reassess their view as to whether or not 'no manager' is better than this manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
