areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Managed 230 games of Championship football Win ratio of 50% 4 promotions to the Premier League Oh, and in 14 games against his sides, Wednesday have lost 9 and won 3 - so it also means we'll no longer be losing to his teams on a regular basis It all adds up to a great appointment. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Of The Roasters Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Hugely experienced at this level, knows the Championship inside out, good track record. I think we're lucky to have him (although I bet some of us will complain that he's not good enough........) A few weeks ago I really thought he was more likely to hold out for a better offer. I wonder how Chansiri persuaded him to come to S6? Apart from the rumoured salary...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bing Cosby Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 On paper its as good an appointment that we could wish for. If Chansiri hands over complete control of football operations to Bruce, then there's no reason why we can't be his 5th promotion. UTO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I forgot to include the 41 games he managed in the 'First Division' before it was rebranded. It tips his win ratio up to 51%, then. For the majority of his career, he's been a Premier League manager. Edited January 2, 2019 by areNOTwhatTHEYseem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nero Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Basically Steve Bruce's teams have finished above Wednesday for a very long time since early 2000. Either he is coming down to our level or we are going up to his. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually amazed that this has happened after Chansiri chose Carvalhal and Luhukay for his previous appointments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa are a basket case at the moment, they'll end up like us 20 years outside the top division. Said that minute they came down and not seen anything to change my mind since.
