I'm rolling all the positives out here.... Listen it’s not a science - lots of positives for Bruce and negatives. Just worried about us chucking money at it. And, Bruce, surely will want funds? I suspect he’ll get his mates jobs on a promise - then tell us to get stuffed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know his spell at Villa went a bit boobies up, but the bloke has four promotions to his name. Compared to the last couple he is over qualified. And surely he is a much better option than another unknown by care of advisers. Assuming they haven't had a say in this.... My hope is he said, err Mr Adviser...STFU...I ain't listening anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless of course he wats to prove Villa wrong, sorta..Look at me I can do it on a shoestring... Its a bit of a worry where the 2 mill is coming from though...does it affect FFP?...does it depend on how its paid..Can you actually pay it in cheesecake etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF - he hasn’t been appointed. Still can’t see him coming. Might be a bluff. Like McCabe texting De Matteo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubleo Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 If it's Bruce I think it's as good as we could hope for. Strong character, excellent player in his day, knows the division, and will have contacts. We need settling down, stability, and some straight forward talking. Be interesting to see who is now available for selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dukeries Owl Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 We are not appointing anybody till after the next forum when DC plans to find out who we want as next head coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmigo Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Bruce would be a wretched choice, but I don’t think it will happen. Bruce signs old timers for big money and plays painful football with little style or creativity. He will be no better than Jos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would command respect, he would settle things down and he would lift the dark clouds. Long term, not too sure, but for now. Yes please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronio Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Jos simply had to go. We needed a change big time. Hopefully if we can get the right manager in, then we can at least try to salvage what's left of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loovens knows the club, massively respected in dressing room and not in sunderland team. we would be a great first job for Bergkamp now he has left Ajax. Would be incredible for players.
