striker Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) 4 minutes ago, Great Big Galaa said: Twelve months or so ago most on here would’ve taken Bruce but there’s a general consensus that he failed at Villa where in truth he turned them into a side capable of getting promoted from the championship and almost succeeded? As for the reputation of spending money, I don’t think he’s been able to be a cheque book manager at every club he’s been in charge of? I don’t remember him spunking a load of cash at Hull? For me he would be the outstanding choice and I think in time he would have us back challenging. I would certainly in the short term expect him to get the best out of most players in this current squad. Ticks a lot of boxes, experienced, knows the leagues inside out. A safe pair of hands and also good with recruitment. I did wonder after the reading link went quiet whether we were interested.

Says reading are also interested in Bruce so we might want to be quick if we want him. Speaking to a potential new manager whilst still having one in charge? Can’t see it myself. DC has his ways but I doubt he’d do that and let it be known in public ? Edited December 9, 2018 by WayneTheOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulva Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 The Steve Bruce story will go the same way as McClaren, Fonseca, Lambert. As soon as the conversation moves onto budget, and control over transfers, the bill for the coffees will be brought over. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemi_the_owl Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 As reported above, nothing story. Page 57 of The Sun. The Club have apparently met with Bruce’s team to discuss options, he is apparently interested, but the club have only met with him to gauge interest as they haven’t decided to sack Jos yet in case he can turn form around. Nothing to see here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 So, lets assume we’ve spoken to Bruce then.... We must have money for a new manager, and P&S is no obstacle in looking for a new manager, so let’s put that one to bed. You don’t buy a car without ensuring you have money put away to one side to pay for fuel, tax, insurance, potential maintenance and repairs. Worth repeating.

swfc1983 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 If DC is actively looking at selling up as has been alluded to in other threads, can’t see why he would sack Jos if he has no intention of hanging around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever happens Jos needs sacking today. IF he wants Bruce then get on with it as he won’t be available for long. It would be just the change we need, finally appointing a manager with championship experience should be our No1 priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemi_the_owl Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 It also says this in the article “The report adds that Bruce is interested in the post as long as he is given the funds to rebuild the squad with several players coming towards the end of their contracts at Hillsborough”. So that’s Bruce ruled out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that’s Bruce ruled out. Unless he’s asking to reinvest revenue from players leaving in January. Complete overhaul job? And let’s face it, that’s what is needed. And I think I’d trust Bruce, if he got the job, to make a better fist of it than JL. Or anyone to make a better fist of it than JL to be honest.

Well I think the last 2 months suggests that Lukuhay turning our form around is very unlikely indeed plus he’s finished in the fans eyes and when the relationship between manager and fans breaks down there’s only one outcome?

He had a good cv of German football he has promotions on his cv and I always remember his Ausburg sides hard to beat. It has all gone pete tong and he does have to go but I really do think dc had only our best interests at heart I agree. For a while I thought JL was goi g to be the man. Polar opposite of CC bringing much needed discipline . Also DC gave it a good go when he got here but has now run out of ideas. He just needs to admit he is out of his depth and seek advice from someone who can run a football club. It will be more enjoyable fir him as well. I still like him but he needs to be less stubborn in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
