Scoot Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 If everyone on the seller and buyer side are that confident this will get done then surely you go to Rafa to sign until the end of the season with the option to stay or go. Bruce is toast now, it’s just a matter of time. Any media defence of him now is impossible after that. The first media question after that display should be asking Bruce how he adapted his usual tactics to face a side with no wins and 2 draws all season to exploit there obvious frailties. He doesn't do tactics, remember. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Broon Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Even if the issues with the PL are sorted doubt the takeover will go ahead until safety is confirmed now, why would they take that risk with no ability to influence our fate in the transfer window?

Certainly not for the price they've offered, which means complete re-negotiation with Ashley. Also NCSL said they definitely won't buy us if we go down.

Strawberry Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 The buyers need to act now. He must go the problem is Ashley will not hire Rafa. We need someone until everything get finalised. I was okay to give Bruce time but tonight display warrant a sacking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot more to it than that though bud, we need players that can get us out of the Championship, then if we get promoted we're stuck with half of them that aren't anything more than a average Premier player, which makes it harder to bring the players you want to compete in the league at a higher level. Getting relegated doesn't just set you back one season in my opinion and I think the Saudi's have already been pretty patient waiting this long for the takeover Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 No way Rafa comes anywhere near us with Ashley still here, if anything the future of Bruce over the next few weeks especially with our fixture list will tell us more about where and even if there is a takeover close.

Ben Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 If they have any positive vibes that the takeover will happen they have to put pressure on Ashley to get rid, this bloke and his team look like they have just finished a shift at Nissan and they are looking after the u13's, so so bad and we will go down with Sheff Utd because they are terrible.

Toon No9 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 If Bruce goes who do we get in for the sake of potentially just a few months. This is the mess Ashley and the premier league has got us in brentford manager? Eddie Howe, if/when takeover happens and he is doing ok then give him a bit of backing and see how(e) it works out....if it’s not then bin him Keeping the current Vogon will see us down This would be the best option right now. Hopefully he would come here with the possibility to be here when/if the new owners takes us over. Either he could take the next step and become a very good manager, he's still quite young and could be here for many years if it's a good match. Or if he's not good enough just replace him after a year or so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
