marble Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 If we ever want to get out of the Championship (up rather than down) then we need a Coach that is capable of doing the job. I'd rather we got him in now than assemble a fresh group of players 18 months from now & then start looking round for a Coach. If he does come in now, he's part of the rebuilding process which would benefit us all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difficult to know who is but wish the best of luck to them. On balance, temporary appointment like Megson. Only with a job to keep us up. If Bruce can't make villa and their squad good we could end his career Bruce is not the answer.......... but you don’t know who is??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, remember I told you this when in 18months time we mysteriously have a manager who isn't actually able to manager the team only at Wednesday Yep we’ll remember.... just like all the other things you told us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torryowl Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 bit of a gamble as he cant have much experience working for a club that cant buy players …...solid enough appointment though if chansiri can give him some decent brass to build a squad though how he does that with the FFP problems isn't going to be straightforward .

theowlsman Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) Love Megson but he hasn’t managed for a while, and will be completely out of touch with what is going on, who is avalable etc Bruce is exactly the type of manager we need, he’ll have his finger on the pulse. I’d have preferred Holloway but I’m completely ok with Bruce. He is also going to cost more than Wilder and half his squad, so that’s another reason I like the idea. Something else for Wilder to self combust over. Edited December 21, 2018 by theowlsman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSlicer Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 If he does come in, and there’s no picture of him stood in kebabish with his wednesday attire on. I will be dissapointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basegreenowl Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 (edited) From SWFC Supporters Club Twitter account Apparently Steve Bruce has been offered £40k a week to take over at Wednesday. The info appears to have come from Chris Wilder #swfc Got the calculator out and it kind of adds up apart from who's said it. Trying to work that one out.

Rev Owl Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 (edited) I'm not saying Bruce is definitely the right person, I think he probably is, at this time. However the principle of paying a good wage to get the right manager is sound. The manager has the biggest impact (if he's allowed to) on the success of the club, much more than any individual player. Therefore you should spend an amount proportionate to the impact.

He got Hull 2013/13 and Birmingham up twice on relatively small budgets. Sometimes managers just don’t fit in at clubs - similar to players - let’s hope SB fits well at ours.

Mr Farrell Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Bruce is in a different league to the last 2 idiots we rescued from long term unemployment. Considering where we are financially, to bring him in would be DC's greatest achievement, and a minor miracle. I may even smile if it happens. I have my doubts though.
