SallyCinnamon Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Personally not over the moon with this. I think he’s on the managerial slide. But realistically who else could we get? I think he’ll steady the ship for a bit, but not expecting miracles. Will be fully behind him nevertheless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not bad considering everything going off at that club, Why did they start throwing cabbages at him then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That we realistically could have got? British manager with 4 promotions from the league we’re in...I honestly couldn’t be happier with the appointment. I also think it shows that Chansiri is changing his approach, which is great. Lastly, I don’t think Bruce would risk his reputation if things weren’t being sorted out behind the scenes at the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they ever really took to him, perhaps due to his stint managing Birmingham City to two promotions. As soon as he hit a sticky patch there, the fanbase were ready to turn on him, despite getting them to the playoff final last season. Hopefully their loss is our gain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just never a manager I thought I’d see at Wednesday after ‘Fergie time’ and the Play Off Final. Would have liked Jokanovic. But beggars can’t be choosers, in our position I think it’s a solid appointment not just a manager I’ve particualrly liked over the years. That will soon change if he gets us winning games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camffiti Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I can understand the fortnight break over Christmas & New Year Another 4 weeks on top of that, is a long time in football though Imagine if we kept Jos until Feb ... We'd already be relegated, before Bruce steps foot in the door Bullen overachieving is keeping this deal viable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigblueowl Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Great news but please please please can we be realistic and not expect too much too soon. He's got alot of work to do so we as SUPPORTERS have got to be patient, give him time and don't get on the players backs again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherlyegg Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 5 minutes ago, areNOTwhatTHEYseem said: He still had a 45% win ratio at Villa, which isn't too shabby. You need 58% for auto promotion (and a few draws thrown in), though I'll be happy via the playoffs instead 45% with a 12 draws should make 6th place.
