Yellowbelly Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 1 minute ago, Blue and white said: Bruce is very very interesting. He doesn't strike me as a yes man. Will want full control over who he can pick. Will want his own staff. Will want control over transfers. Can Chansiri take a step back and let Bruce get on with what he does best, who knows, one thing I would suggest, if Bruce comes in, there is no room for Paxo. Let’s face it, he needs to. I’d hope the model DC’s relies upon these past few years is about to get binned off in favour of a more traditional English football model - the one where the manager is the most important figure at the club. This may start to appeal to Chansiri as Bruce can take the flak if it goes wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flat Owl Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 45 minutes ago, Athelwulf said: It appears he's finished with the players too, judging by their performances. Another possible if not probable scenario is that JL has been advised his tenure is coming to a close and a new coach is coming in. JL as an honourable man and knowing he is in his last job in football, may have agreed contrary to tradition to 'stay in post' until that happens...this may explain his reticence in the dugout over the past few games with Bullen taking a more visible role?

gurujuan Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 If we were to appoint Bruce, it would be more short term thinking He’s never been successful anywhere without spending lots of money Sounds like DC is being advised by the same people who told him to sign all those, past it, name players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beauchief Owl Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Given our current FFP standing can't think Bruce would come. If he did it would be on the basis of selling players to generate cash, so we'd definitely be losing some of our best players. We're in a relegation battle now and I'd rather see Megson back tbh. He'd be cheaper, provide passion and expect a lot more from the players than some seem prepared to give. Unfortunately he wouldn't last two weeks with DC as he wouldn't be the 'yes man' that is required, so no chance of this happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animis Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 The inevitable change of manager timing is dependent on many variables: Current league position - still stable Points safety total target - say 54 points, or 30 points from 25 games @ 1.2 points/game. Games remaining - still plenty, for both Jos or a new manager to ensure safety. Recent form - poor; bottom 6. Players out and return dates - New year onwards. Players not playing and their availability to any new manager - new manager might not be able to influence if it's contractual or DC's decision, which i don't suspect it is. Availability of candidates - Bruce et al currently are, but are these our actual targets to match the club's direction over the next 3 years. Jos achieved his brief last season IMO - he kept a very low-confidence team in the Championship. He was 'rewarded' by continuing this season. We actually don't even know the length or terms of his contract. What is his target this season - it's clear it can't be 'promotion or we're in trouble', as he would clearly say publicly that is not achievable. Interestingly, he has avoided saying anything on record about this until last Thursday's press conference, when he said fans need to be realistic and it's different to the previous years under CC. Maybe DC heard this and thought it's the final straw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said the cull needs to include Bullen and the rest no sticking platers, this next appointment needs proper due diligence as it shapes the club for the next few seasons.

What we need is an experienced manager in English football who will know who he should sell and who to snap up for less money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He left the club without a job lined up. That says to me something else was going on behind the scenes. Think Mick left because we have probably spend more on Jordan Rhodes then Ipswich gave him in his whole time there. Yet the fans were still demanding more from him. Would have never been relegated under Mick. Will be now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshOwl Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Bruce would be fantastic and is the absolute best we could hope for But I just can’t see him wanting to come here, why would you? And if DC was willing to pay top dollar than surely he would have done this first time round, instead of buying these European nobodies? Too good to he true unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
