Popular Post Left-footed Filth Posted January 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2019 Bruce appointed but doesn't start until 1st Feb. What are your best conspiracy theories as to why?

I saw a photo of Alan Brazil the other day and didn't even know it was Alan Brazil. Even when someone pointed out to me that it was Alan Brazil. I still couldn't recognise Alan Brazil from the image starting back at me. We all get out of shape a bit, let ourselves go. But Alan Brazil isn't even Alan Brazil any more. He looks like something from Men in black that has eaten Alan Brazil. Even now I'm not sure of it was actually Alan Brazil. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poite Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 8 minutes ago, Jamie_W said: This was discussed yesterday on Five Live and in yesterday’s Bruce thread. He has said during negotiations that he has family commitments through January, he lost his parents last year as most will know and has wanted to spend time with his family during this time. The details of his commitments are obviously his own business. We had identified him as the right man for the job and have stated that we are willing to wait to get him in. This willingness is possibly a large reason why he’s agreed to come. Given how we have picked up under Bullen and have begun to reintegrate players now that joker has left, I’m happy to give Bruce the time he needs so he can return satisfied he hasn’t rushed back to something he isn’t ready for. Am I doing this right? Come on. Here we have a thread with some really possible reasons and then you come along sprouting nonsense like this! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birley Owl 1867 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 As long as he has some input on signings (if we do indeed sign someone of course) then I'm ok with it. It's not like this month is a particularly tough one. A cup game (potentially 2), tough game at ull but 2 winnable home matches with or without Bruce to end month.
