Nobody Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 He'll stay on until the first signs of a bad patch. No one wants to come in and immediately sack the manager, it just doesn't happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty66 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 He'd probably resign to save his own fat golf course face.

But they’ll want to get the right man in, and it’s also about timing. If the takeover goes through in March they’ll probably wait until summer.

Feel like these are slightly different circumstances to most, simply down to the farce of Bruce being in the job at all. He's also only got a year left. Paying him off would be a drop in the ocean.

Guest neesy111 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Bruce 1st and then charnley quickly 2nd should be the first 2 out of the door. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonArmy1892 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Surely there are examples of new owners sacking the current manager straight away. There is not one reason to keep Bruce here any longer, should never have been here anyway. Wait for a bad patch, not that we would have to wait long, but what's the point.

If they have Rafa lined up, it could go fast I guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazarus Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Lots of ifs and buts here but..... If Rafa is turning other jobs down and waiting for the toon job when the takeover is completed theres no way he would hang about waiting for bruces next 2 in 20. Rafa has (i hope) been told the job is his the second the takeover is completed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 12 hours ago, Ben said: So reading through all the twitter stories if Masters and Hoffman want a back door deal with no exposure, next week could be the time to do it ? Without doing takeover maths, it good be a reason for Ashleys confidence this weekend. If the idea was a backdoor deal with no exposure, then last weeks story printed in the Sun was a strange way to go about it. Someone close to Ashley must be leaking stuff.

Colos Short and Curlies Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 such an easy first press conference.. We're delighted to be here as the new owners of NUFC and have some really special plans for the club, the city and the region. We've been clear from the fist day that we started planning this project that Rafa is the man we see leading the club and as such we'd like to put forward our gratitude to Ste..

I suspect it’s applying a little pressure on them to allow the takeover. Clearly things appear to be ramping up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
