Think thats bang on. An unknown from somewhere in Europe...cos that's the alternative. Or Bruce, seems a no brainer to me. Sure it's a gamble. Any would be. Not sure he will come btw, but so far he hasn't said not me..so i would imagine he is at least considering.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buxtongent Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 If its our primary aim to avoid relegation, and all are to work to that end, one name shouts out at you. It may be unpleasant but its NEIL WARNOCK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How will our dutch contingent Joey Pelupessy and Joost Van Aken react to their countryman getting sacked. Joao and Matias improved quite dramatically when Carlos departed, as did Nuhiu. Quite possibly the strangest post I've read so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smog Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 If, and if he is the next manager, I think he could help steady the ship and even turn us around. The clubs hes he’s been to, whilst people say he had a larger budget, I’m sure they didn’t have the depth/size of team that we have. With a fully fit squad with the right mentality, the players we have at our disposal would comfrotably challenge for a place in the top 6. It’s just getting the right leader to kick them back into shape, and motivate them back to their best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_D Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Apart from those late goals at Hillsborough all those years ago, I've always liked Mr Potato Head. I hope he does become our next manager. Not because I think he will be some mess-higher but because I think he will bring the sort of Championship experience we've been lacking.

Money is tight Chansiri seems to going for a last stand solution if he appoints Bruce. His record with Villa was sambolic , even we beat them , despite the millions he spent. Some people will say look at his record and getting teams promoted to the premiership, but football is constantly evolving and it’s the managers that can evolve there teams way of playing are going to be the successful ones Bruce seems to of had him time and there no points of following the Villa mantra. Hopefully I’m wrong and Bruce has realised his mistakes and can evolve his methods and not rely on the open cheque book policy , because if he tries to follow the same old routine we’re f*oked I’m sure Bruce will have told Chansiri that he has reformed his way and bring success on a limited budget, or has he. This if true I’m sure will be Chansiri last stand and the consequences of failure can not be underestimated. Bruce out. Let the guy walk through the front door before you call for his sacking.

I'm not trying to be personal but we have just got rid of Jos so let's look forward with a bit of optimism just for once and let Bruce start with a clean slate. He's coming into a club with demoralised players who can't buy a point, ship goals for fun and let their heads drop at the first sign of adversity. He's got no money to spend and autocratic owner. That is a poo hand to start with. If Bruce keeps us up this year he will have done ok. if we are mid table next year he will have done ok. Let's accept we aren't going to walk the league this year or next and just hope for steady progress. If we do better that's great. A bit of optimism and support from the fans might just help.

wakefieldowl Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Didn't he get them to the play off final last season ?? Hardly symbolic And also, we have money, it's ffs that's the problem.
