vulva Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) But I'd swap Carlos for Steve Bruce. I was quite annoyed CC advertised the fact that he'd been talking to Premier League clubs. Unprofessional in my opinion. He could have just answered in the vanilla way such questions are usually batted away. Like the guy, done a very good job, but I've a sneaky feeling he is starting to believe his own publicity. Bruce has a proven track record of getting teams promoted, out of this league, with more than one club. Edited July 23, 2016 by vulva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damianb1 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I don't mind Bruce actually. Think he has integrity and handles himself with dignity, but as a manager think I'd prefer cc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 Not a CC knocking thread btw. Both Bruce and CC are excellent managers in their own right. But, if you want promotion, although not guaranteed, Bruce would be a shoe in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeadonowl Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Wouldn't surprise me to see Wolves go in for Bruce when Jackett gets the sack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Was it not reported that DC purposely sought a continental manager to cultivate a style of football here? Not sure Brucey would be the one to carry that on. I do like him though, but reckon we're onto a winner with Carlos. DC needs to back him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Maybe Carlos got it wrong, maybe at that point he was a little frustrated about something, but I trust him to put it behind him, and get on with things. Steve Bruce, on the other hand, had also become frustrated with the transfer policy at his club, and decided to walk out. I don't mind Steve Bruce, but in this case, I think Carlos acted in a more responsible fashion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southie_Owl Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Call me a clapper but I like the style of football Carlos gets us to play and I think we will benefit from it more in the long term than if Bruce was manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 Putting it another way, if CC left tomorrow, who would we want? I suspect the unanimous answer would be Steve Bruce. He's available now. He might not be in October, if and when CC continues to flirt with the likes of Swansea. DC might well call his bluff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmowl Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Very good choice for us if Carlos left. But very optimistic that Carlos will get us into the PL this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james o connor Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Steve Bruce. Limped to 4th with probably the best squad in the division. Nah I'm good ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDY Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I think before we hit Christmas CC will be linked with a few more PL clubs as chairmen get itchy fingers if things don't go to plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 My guess is Bruce to Wolves. I reckon their new owners will give Jackett the elbow, and spend big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulva Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 Wonder if DC knew about CC having talks with 2 other clubs? Arn't clubs supposed to seek permission prior to talking to other players and managers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Rimmer Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Carvalhal will be on peanuts compared to Bruce Who cares that he spoke to other clubs, course he would. You have to start accepting they're only here in a professional context. He's from Portugal and has been sacked like 15 times he's not going to afford a club from a different country much loyalty when he knows how quick we will sack him if he starts performing poorly.

Bad PR. *** for tat, we could remind him, that swfc rescued him from football obscurity. But he deserves to be let off, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
