I already see this season as damaged to the point that we may not stay up. We are asking a lot of any top name manager to come in and get results with what is frankly a low quality, low mentality, poorly conditioned squad that is going to take a while to fix, plus the January market is slow. it’s quite a lot to ask a top manager to stake their reputation on.

This is a really good point actually. Think the idea was for Rafa to pretty much take charge on setting everything up and bringing in the people he wanted, and with he takeover slowing down considerably and Rafa going elsewhere, once it went through all of a sudden they had to start from scratch with alternate plans perhaps. Aye. This club either needs a manager like Benitez, who is knowledgeable, adept and experienced enough to not only manage the team on the pitch, but essentially the club, or a structure in place to run the day to day off the pitch and have a manager who focuses on just the team. With Benitez no longer an option we either have to find someone as good, as willing, and as able to bring good people with him, which is unlikely, or get in management staff such of DoF, technical director etc and a new manager for them to work together. Which is going to take time. Given it sounds like Staveley and Reubens got a call on the Monday or Tuesday about the takeover potentially happening, to then confirm it on Thursday, that's not much time to solve those issues. Especially when plan A went out the door and it doesnt sound like they felt any need for further planning, given they were all set to return to the courts in January. I'm sure it's frantic trying to get an initial structure in place. They're starting from absolutely nothing and the urgency is pressing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I’m not fussed if we get relegated. Yes fans will laugh at us but they won’t realise it is Ashley and Bruce putting us in a bad place this season. Rafa showed how we can regroup effectively in the Championship. Equally I’m not fussed if we hire Redknapp or Hodgson or someone else on a £5m for 17th contract, with it being clear that they won’t be retained beyond this season.

James Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 If Jones won’t take the caretaker manager’s job, we’d be better replacing Bruce with Harper Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Or if Harper is no good either, find another interim boss we can trust to work on a game by game basis until issues are resolved - Chris Hughton is the obvious individual here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Magpie Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 It's vital Bruce goes before the Palace game. Owners have been here two weeks, yes we need to trust the process and be patient with certain things but replacing Bruce is urgent. From the Craig Hope article it seems Bruce has lost the dressing room, we all want him out and him being here is having a negative impact on the club. 7 wins in 38 games it's relegation form. He antagonizes the press and fans and is way out of his depth. Keeps saying he's a fan and wants what's best... No he wants his big pay out as he knows he will likely never get a job in the Premier League again ... He's a laughing stock See Eddie Howe is linked .. yes we would take anyone over Bruce right now but Howe's teams defences were poor too, lots of goals conceded... We need someone to get the defence back on track as we are letting goals In for fun, it's a championship back four. Look at the Dugout every game, it's Jones giving instructions and motivating while Bruce looks on hopelessly... We have a very tough Christmas period and if Bruce doesn't go soon we are going to be adrift at the bottom. Back to back games against Norwich and Burnley in early December and we need to win both of those. January is massive, we need significant investment and to get players through the door which will be easier if we are 13th-15th rather 18-20th This season we just need to stay up even if it's by just 1 point ... We can have hope for the future but the main thing now is take it game by game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Dancer Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 If we are on another day off he's probably deliberately doing it to avoid them. Probably blocked their numbers too and has his blinds closed at his gaff. Watching tele in the back room so nobody can see any lights on (like me on Halloween).
