Shetland Owl Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 If he is the only that DC wants then we will have to be patient. I gather Bruce has agreed terms so he could sign today and then come in at the end of January. I am sure he can still have a say in the January transfer window, although I don't think many will come in. As for outgoings, DC will run each past him, can see him being happy if players leave that he wants to work with including Westwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But timescales - another 4-5 weeks, seems a bit excessive. We've been down that route with Joe Kinnear before, call me cynical but I'll only believe Steve Bruce is our manager when he is our manager. A great signing if we can get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So...our great plan is to bring in the new manager after the January transfer window has shut? Sounds about right. Are Agnew and Clemence going to watch another 8 games before actually coming in? Agnew and Clemence are clearly freeloading closet fans who are trying to eek out as many free by matches under the pretence that they may eventually be employed by the club. DC-get then a couple of Iplayer memberships and have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story was he was spending Christmas and New Years celebrations with family. Unless he’s suddenly become Robert the Bruce and is holding out for Hogmanay, I think someone’s got their story wrong here. Next it will be held up for Valentine's Day, then Easter. I expect his appointment just before the playoffs start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s strange if true, you’d have thought he’d be at West Brom if it was a done deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
