It has to be done but the fact we are in this position is shocking. Such a badly run club. I’m just praying we still manage to get Bruce in to get the best out of what players we do have and hope he can wheel and deal to get some promising players in. Would you say Bruce was the best choice of coach to see us through this period of austerity? I’m not sure he would have been my choice, all things considered. Mainly the cost, but also the fact that he has always had a decent budget, even though he often manages to balance the books further down the line. With the right tools, he’s proven he can get the job done, but this will test his coaching skills. We are where we are of course, and as painful as it will be, having to sell our better players, it needs to be done. I do think, if we can use the loan market wisely, we can put a decent squad together That’s where Bruce can come to the fore, if nothing else, he has many good contacts Link to post Share on other sites

I think he is a manager that players will want to sign and play for with his very impressive career as a player and some good achievements as a manger. I just wish we could get him in sooner than February 1st to give him chance to start the rebuild ASAP. Link to post Share on other sites

If there’s truth in the Kebano rumour, you’d presume, or at least hope, that he’s behind it Link to post Share on other sites

I think that we have identified our players who we are willing to let go, and priced accordingly, also believe that it has been a good move in regards to Bruce not joining till Feb, gives him plenty of time to work away in the background, making calls and getting the right players into the squad, ones that we need to give us pace and power, I am confident that Bruce is the right man for the job. Onwards and upwards. Edited January 17, 2019 by daleblue Link to post Share on other sites
