Mr. Tom Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 The forum was a crisis measure and needed to happen, but can completely see why DC's hands were utterly tied re: any great revelations. On this specific occasion/matter, I fully sympathise with him not being able to put all his cards on the table in public. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was common knowledge DC was chasing Bruce , so Jos was always on borrowed time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely don't know what you were expecting him to say on Wednesday night? Edited December 21, 2018 by areNOTwhatTHEYseem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely don't know what you were expecting him to say on Wednesday night? I’m just concerned he has less of a clue than I feared. Ultimately the nightmare of a manager has gone (one that should never have been appointed) so hopefully things will slowly change for the better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCOWL Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Jesus. Some of you won't be happy till he comes over and noshes you off for Christmas. I'm just relieved it's done with, and if it turns out to be Bruce i'll be encouraged that maybe he's starting to learn his lessons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trevdi9 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 perhaps Jos saw the writeups and thought sod this i'm off before they lynch me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twaddle Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I just wonder if Chansiri had more or less Bruce lined up as was being touted – hence the Octagon. Man U go and sack Mourinho and Bruce wonders if can go there – hence the delay. Bruce gets informed he will not be considered so we are back on ???

When he hadn’t. That’s why it’s “mutually agreed”. Jos has been a fall guy all along IMO. Somethings not right. He’d have been sacked ages ago otherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevdi9 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) who knows Paul but something had to be done as things were boiling over ,yep jos possibly was the fall guy as managers usually are it comes with the job , whether it was for the right or wrong reasons we have to move forward from it mate , Edited December 21, 2018 by trevdi9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alleycat Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Maybe he realised at the forum that the strength of feeling against Jos was so strong that it could well impact on season ticket sales? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 He wasn’t going to slate Jos was he. He was still in the job then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed a decent and honourable bloke to me. Carrying out his biddings. Takes some believing that out of choice - he ignored Hutchinson, Boyd, Westwood and Jones? But, of course - they’ll all now be available. He should have been sacked ages ago - if it’s the case. As the OP is alluding to. Havent got a clue what’s going off - but his departure hasn’t relieved my cynicism’s. Can’t wait for Bruce to be given some money to chuck at it. Time will tell.

If DC only realised after the forum how bad he was then it’s a worry. DC mainly out of the country and probably didn't realise how fans felt, even the united fans, whom in their dim-witted way, I believe have actually helped us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll be waiting a long time though. At the very best he cant spend until he's sold a few. And how many of our current squad are saleable?

That’s just his wage - then, plus his support staff’s wages. That doesn’t include his war chest. Edited December 21, 2018 by ReadingOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you're spot on with this, there was a few numptys other night who kept asking why isn't Westwood and Hutchinson playing? But I think 99.9% were agreeing that Jos needs replacing.
