Shak Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Really shit decision not to get rid before Sunday. There's absolutely no way the guy adds anything positive to the team's preparation and now it's an unnecessary cloud of negativity hanging over what should be a completely joyous day. Shouldn't matter long term, all this season is about is making sure we stay up and find the right DOF and manager to lead us into next summer. Should be easily done so no panic but not great to see the new owners make such a shit decision almost immediately Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have managed to capture all the worst traits of a football fan there. Oh give over - Bruce is a toxic presence at the club and the press conference today just highlighted why he needed to go.

The CEO and as you say the DoF along with the manager are vital. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like we've just got out of a long term abusive relationship and are throwing a party to celebrate. It's great, wonderful. Yet for some reason our ex's stupid fucking sister who was living there for some reason and always treated you like shit too is still living in the house so she'll be there too, pissing and moaning about how she has to find a new place now and how it's all been so hard on her. Fuck off, Sharon. And stop eating so many macaroons you know full well there are only a couple per person and you've had at least 5 now you cunt.

Yorkie Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 We've spent the last 14 years suffering from decisions made by people who know nothing about football. With both eyes firmly on what's to come, I feel very encouraged that our new owners are withholding making any decisions - that are materially related to what happens on a day-to-day basis and on the pitch - until they have employed individuals who have experience in running a football club. I'm disappointed that Bruce will be in the dugout on Sunday for obvious reasons, but I don't think the decision to keep him in post enables us to make any conclusions about the owners, beyond the fact that they're true to what they said about being patience. If that's what it takes to land on the right decision, I'm happy to trade-in a very emotional occasion against Spurs in order to get there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I do feel like we can trust Staveley to do the right thing and sack him, I just worry that if we do say manage to squeak a win against Spurs and beat Palace with him in the dugout they might "give him a crack" as he likes to say. That would be utterly depressing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are all annoyed it's not a clean break but we have less coaches than an under 11s side. They don't understand our hatred of Bruce yet, his press conference today may have changed that and I bet Staveley was horrified. Give them some time, they are new to football and our Chairman only arrived yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether he is there or not on Sunday, rather than abuse (though fill your boots if you need to scratch that itch), would be great to do rounds of supportive chants for some of the clubs old hero's and recent fighters against the dross of Ashley, like Papiss, Hatem etc. Maybe the odd Rafa chant too for the laughs.

Aye, not long until this short transitionary period is lost in memory entirely. There'll be the Ashley era and the PIF era and the furore this week (maybe a little longer) has brought amongst fans as to the urgency to boot Bruce is realised will be a dot. Like everyone I want him gone asap. But seemingly no one involved in the takeover expected this to happen this year, if at all. And all of a sudden they're in and they have an absolute fuck tonne of decisions need to be made. Because as an organisation were a colossal mess. If those now running the club now feel it's best to leave the incumbent in charge for the lack of other positive options, Im more than inclined to trust them. 8 days ago some of us would have been rooting for us to lose this game. In the grander scheme the result this weekend doesnt matter. Its not about that. Dont give a fuck if we lose 5-0. Maybe Jones doesnt want the caretaker gig. Maybe they dont feel he's up to it. Maybe there arent any other feasible options. In the past we would have ended up appointing someone like Kinnear to the role. Or Carver. Im just thankful I dont have to expect that anymore. Bruce is gone. We all know it. Itd be mint to be right now, but it isnt. I think we should at least be thankful there seems to be sensible, intelligent, progressive, decision making going on.

gazza ladra Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) As disappointed (and spiteful) as I am regarding Bruce, I am holding out hope that giving Bruce his 1000th game is a sign that the new organization is displaying a bit of class here. Given how the previous regime treated managers (Keegan, etc) and players (Jonas, etc), I am hoping that it's a sign of things to come. That said, I hope/believe that they'll get rid of Bruce ASAP and aren't going to attempt to survive the season with him in charge.

I think it’s more the stadium is more likely to turn on him very quickly if we go behind which will harm our chances of a result in comparison to if he had gone.

For me personally Sunday was about upporting my team again and wanting them to win, with Bruce in the dugout a large part of me still wants to see him fail and the team to lose.

If he wins he will be in there lobbying to stay as he has been there and done that and can stave off relegation now that the fans are behind him and the players with Ashley gone. And so they may as well keep him to see how it goes until the summer. He will be manipulating things in some manner as long as he is here and is why we need to move this man on. It's why I will be finding it very hard to be excited about Sunday and getting a win over Spurs. The situation is a really messy one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
