This is what happens when you leave a dead man walking responsible for things, though. 'i couldn't really give a fuck lads, I'm gone in a week or two. Do what you like' That's the real reason he has to go for me. Jones has every chance of surviving a cull in a coaching role and still has something to work for. Bruce has seen the writing on the wall and knows what the payoff is, he has zero incentive to perform to any standard whatsoever and I guess would probably prefer that they just expedite this shit and get it over with.

Jordan Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I thought he’d be gone either today or yesterday after Sunday. Theres no logical reason to keep him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlymouthGeordie Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I can't for the life of me understand why the consortium think the best thing for the club is for Bruce to come in tomorrow and take training. The number of days off is just bizarre and borderline negligent, he just wants his pay off so they just need to give it him. As bad as Bruce is, if he's in charge on Saturday the consortium have inexplicably written off 6 points from 2 winnable games and we can't afford that given our precarious league position.

By all accounts the dead man walking tag doesn't help but lets not kid ourselves here, Bruce has been this bad at his job from the start, it was just papered over by some fantastic individual performances previously. The rot has well and truly set in now and the luck has run out, the players are criminally unfit, uncoached and the team has no discernible style/approach to games. At this point we probably stand a better chance if he does stop trying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not likely, but it does seem like we might have someone in before the Palace game if it's true that we are in second round of talks with prospective candidates. I think we are nearing end game.

Fantail Breeze Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Maybe the takeover was symptomatic of how the consortium like to operate? 18 months to get the deal done might end up feeling like a walk in the park as we continue to try and sack Bruce in February 2024.
