Bruce is going backwards, same as McCarthy and Holloway. Jos has a safety first approach to games which totally stifles the way we can play. He did a great job in keeping us away from trouble last season, considering all the injuries etc, but he needed to be more ambitious with his tactics this season. I agree, a change is needed, but it needs to be positive. I concur wholeheartedly seat buddy Jokanovic would be my first choice. Out of a job and plays excellent football. 2 Championship teams managed, 2 promotions achieved 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mogbad Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) For me Bruce would be a major improvement on Jos & better than most of the names currently being suggested as Jos's replacement. However as many have said I can't see him coming with our current financial FFP/P&S situation. If he does come it may indicate there is some substance to the investment /takeover rumours.

He won't come though as we (apparently) have no money and where ever he's been he's had cash and will be receiving a huge pay off from villa so why on earth would he come here? Its a good question. I think its way better thsn any other options. I'm clinging to the question of Where's he getting a better offer though? He had no money to spend at Hull. And he knows and likes the club and knows what support he would get if he turned it around. He'll remember the fans at the play off final. Could be a good fit....

Semedo's ferret Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Bruce is exactly the manager I didn't want. One of the managers version of the rat pack. He'll come in on a huge wedge, do nowt because we dont have funds available like he's had at most clubs, then get sacked after not improving things and take a £10 million pay off with him.

NorthernOwl Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 For all those who think Bruce isn't good enough I fear you are going to be very, very disappointed with whoever our next manager is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, a change is needed, but it needs to be positive. A game of opinions. Would Bruce be my ideal choice? No. Would I prefer Jokanovic? Yes, if we had a team that could already defend - which we don't. If we had FF, Lee, and Hooper fit, Jokanovic would be the way to go. Making do with what we have available...possibly not. Just my opinion. Both managers would go where the money is, so not convinced we could get either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone bangs on about how we need a british manager with experience of success in the championship. When we are finally linked to one with 4 promotions to his name suddenly we can do better. I think some people live in a total fantasy land. Who exactly do they think we can get. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Farrell Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Discrete enquiries to see if we could afford Bruce and see if he was interested if there was nothing to spend. It was a no and a big foook off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazowl55 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Am fully expecting Bruce to be our next manager. Let's just hope it is sooner rather than later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Would take Bruce over JL. But Bruce feels like a lot of managers mentioned with his best days behind him. Wonder if his ex Sheff U connections would count against him if things are going badly although its over 20 years he was manager there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hillsborough Mole Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 If Pep Guardiola was linked with a move to Hillsboro there would be some Wednesday fans saying he's not good enough and we could do better. "He doesn't know the Championship", "Can he do it without a huge budget" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get what your saying, but I bet the Cardiff fans said similar about Warnock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Snooty Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Would Bruce jump at the chance to manage Wednesday - Yes Would Bruce jump at the chance to manage Wednesday with nothing to spend, iminnent fire sale on the horizon, a team devoid of pace, players unable to play for various reasons, the club hanging above the drop zone, interference in the scouting and transfer policy, an aloof chairman, a despondent fanbase and a squad which looks like it's mentally weak and stuck in a rut - Hmm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
