Bruce is name, who’s also been successful at this level. However, look closer, he’s dour, and has never had any sort of success when not been allowed to spend money We are in that boat, so in my opinion, he’s the wrong man for the job I think he’ll be more than capable of sorting out the outcasts (Westwood etc) and utilising a championship squad to get safety this season I’d get him on a short term if possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t post to say “told ya so” literally was told this morning in work and thought I would share. I think I’ve started 2 threads in 7 years.

I’m not saying it’s impossible, but you would have expected something to be in place if there was going to be significant finance for a new manager to spend. If we are looking to spend our way out of relegation trouble, then that won’t be easy, with traditionally not much business done in January. Any new manager will also need time to assess the current squad, and these things take time I’m thinking TUF investment maybe in the summer. obv he would need assess current squad but usually a new man likes the odd one of his favs in. So maybe promise backing with a few loans in Jan. stay up this season n then world your oyster in summer. Players out of contract etc and had plenty of time to assess current squad to see who want to keep or sell etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Bruce would and will come to SWFC if the club can meet his demands and expectations. Believe me I believe what you say, i just worry that DC will stick to form and we will end up with some journeyman foreign coach that no one has ever heard of.

Been told today he’s coming in after Christmas he’s just on holiday in Barbados at the moment. I have friend in work who is close to lots of footballers. He’s not as owl and for him to even mention it means it’s come from a good source. Just passing on what I’ve been told today. Where is he? Is he here yet?

It's no fun trying to get rid of unwanted stuck turds reluctant to move on. But then neither is unblocking toilets!!!!! I'm here all week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
