toontownman Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 To be fair, he could have been told he is sacked earlier today. They might have been spending the rest of the day working on his replacement. Bruce might have to play up false pretences until it is said otherwise, announced by the club or a replacement confirmed. Still I don't see the need to have him "play along". Having him at training would continue to be a detriment for everyone any way you try and spin it.

relámpago blanco Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 It's probably just they are close to appointing a new manager so they told him. The new manager hasn't signed yet so they haven't confirmed it. Saudi's will never announce anything until the ink is dry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

relámpago blanco Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I would like to say though can people just calm the fuck down. Bruce will go, it's clear he is going. I would have loved him to be gone for Spurs as we may have won. I sincerely hope he is gone tomorrow but can we just calm down. We have been waiting for this takeover for 18 months, it's happened and it's still the same bullshit in here making us look like idiots. It happened very fast post CAT and they didn't anticipate it would happen so fast so they didn't have a manager in place. At times during the last 18 months we may have had Poch or Rafa depending on the timing. They have said what they want to do long term and PIF don't fuck about We are in the relegation zone and look absolutely shocking so it's probably harder for them to get their first choice. It's a big risk for any top manager We are now the richest club in the world and our leadership team has a proven record WE HAVE HOPE Remember the feeling when Wilson scored that goal? We'll have a shit load of that feeling instead of feeling numb. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This club is bad for one's health man It's like we got the takeover, but haven't been allowed to fully enjoy it yet because Bruce came back in and just pissed on everyone's chips with that pre match interview and then the match. We're almost there now though, for sure. Almost. God help us all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

God help us all I feel the same I wish they had peddled him the day after the takeover but they want someone in place first and tbh, with the number of coaches we have I can see why they haven't We should just trust in them though as whether Bruce is peddled now or next week, if it goes as they plan then we will instantly have a club we are proud of and in a few years one that is challenging for trophies.

Find out in the morning, can’t call bollocks until we see if he’s taking training. Could be just waiting for the new manager to be 100% sorted also (only reason there would be a delay) or could be not and just a load of shit. If that’s the case I can’t understand why Ando would come on and say something, which can be so easily discounted in a matter of hours. Just have to wait, no other choice.

When I look at the table I'm a bit encouraged. We are so fortunate a number of teams are still in and around us and have had poor starts. Hopefully we get a change confirmed this week now in order to start working our way up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
