S36 OWL Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 1 hour ago, SiJ said: Have been thinking the same. Good pay or not, I don't see Bruce taking any job without some guarantees and assurances going forward. This isn't some desperate chancer or a bloke getting his first job in football; this is a bloke with four promotions to his name and a good reputation in the game. I cannot see him agreeing to take the job if he didnt have money to spend in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owl999 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I heard yesterday morning from family at the club that Bruce was a done deal so after seeing his back room staff there yesterday I think it is . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts as well. I assume Clemence and Agnew are still part of the 'team' with Bruce. Like I mentioned earlier, Paul Heckinbottom was also in a corporate box. Hope he was only guest.

Bluesteel Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 His son suggested he had to wheel and deal at Villa. Will be the same here. But it’s further proof the doomsday scenario of a full on embargo and points deduction is far fetched Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it's worth, I suspect this was Chansiri throwing his toys out the pram and saying the first thing which popped into his head. Exactly this, long evening, same questions being asked over and over again. Its more him saying "if i get a good offer ill sell, however while im here, ill do my best" nothing more than that.

"Lads I can't make the game due to family commitments....Chansiri has said "I have to work with what i've got"..."Go have a look see on what Ive got" Maybe they gave him good reports after watching the game and he's chomping at the bit to start (well he'll be chomping something by the look of him) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We look like a side who are likely to be a mid table side for this season and next. Would have thought Bruce would be in no rush and bide his time to get a more likely promotion club. Might mean finances not as restricted as we thought. I am backing DC fully, the guy has made mistakes, repeatedly, but mistakes can be forgiven if he learns his lessons and he seems to be doing so. He has the money, bringing Bruce in confirms this, and if prices go down for a time which looks likely I am starting to realize this guys heart really is in the right place. I definitely think what he said re selling us was an ' if fans want me gone I will sell, it's official i will sell if they want me gone" translation, I for one dont want him gone, I think hes just getting started.

You would presume if Bruce has agreed, he has been given some assurances, I doubt he would walk into a club that was about to implode, his reputation can't really afford that, even if he can. So I wonder what DC has told him? Surely he can't have carried on with his "I'm selling up" scenario?..unless theres a buyer already in place? Gonna be an interesting yuletide period It seems working the space of 4/5 days we've gone from being mangerless, ownerless and potless to offering one of the best managers outside of the prem a healthy salary. And most are convinced it's a done deal. I hope most are right, because a week ago I had us as good as relegated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I’m still having doubts about whether he will take the job because of the state of the club. Hope he does but he isn’t one of these unknown foreign types that is desperate for a job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Hunt Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I think if Brucie takes the job it could mean we are not as far up sh1tcreek as we thought . Interesting times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebizzle Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Anybody who actually went, or read the quotes - knows that Chansiri isn’t putting the club up for sale. He has said pretty much the same thing before, and was laughable to see it on front page of the Star / sky sports news. Bruce first game againsg Birmingham City. Got some money for wages, can generate a bit of money by letting one go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoop Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 If Bruce is successful and things start looking rosy again, I can see Chansiri reconsidering, that’s if he ever intended to leave in the first place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
