Wandy Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I known that the takeover caught them by surprise and literally happened overnight but they had 18 months beforehand to have a rough plan of how they should handle the management structure. If Bruce is still here at the weekend then I'm afraid that this will be an awful start from them. They are fiddling while Rome burns down to the ground.

Every week they delay increases the chances of going down. It's a very realistic prospect and they need to act immediately. I'm only trying to stay positive as I've been negative enough for years. He does need to go ASAP no doubt about it though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awaymag Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Tomorrow there is no training ( I know) so if he isn't called in and fired then, then its not going to be before the weekend, IMHO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Bruce has always been a major part of what's wrong with the club, Ashley was obviously the main issue but Bruce has been stinking up the club far too long. The takeover seems to have exacerbated the issue and made it worse, the self destruction has hit critical mass and he needs to be jettisoned for any fire fighting to be done now. The longer he is here, the longer it takes the next guy to fumigate the place and undo the damage caused. Whether someone is lined up or not, his mere presence is causing serious damage to the club now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LV Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) Sacking Bruce would actually buy the consortium a bit more time in terms of alleviating the pressure on themselves to find the right manager and DoF/ whatever. Keeping Bruce there just makes it more urgent and is also meaning there is more pressure from fans because him being there still is making us twitchy. He needs to go and we can all chill a bit and all pull in the right direction, even if results are bad for a bit.

andyc35i Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 The delay is clearly because the owners want to get the right people and a working structure in place. It’s just frustrating for all of us because we have seen how shite we are and know things can’t improve until there’s a change of manager Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I think they'll make the right calls soon which is ultimately the most important thing, but the situation is annoying, counterproductive, and getting worse. Surely they can convince the 2 Steves to stick around with Jones for a bit while this gets sorted? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I totally understand that they've got some huge decisions to make. The CEO and sporting director will be responsible for the direction of the club for the foreseeable future. Until we get those people in, footballing decisions may be slow. Even with that in mind, it is utterly bizarre that Bruce is still in charge. A variety of reasons have been offered by the media, but none of them stack up. You have a toxic influence, that could dramatically decrease the value of their new asset. Football experience or otherwise, it's an absolute no brainer of a decision, peddle him and deal with the consequences later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.
