S36 OWL Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 He is spot on.Family always comes first . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChinaOwl Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I don't know why he even has to defend himself. Put aside the reasons behind it. If I or any else for that matter, accepts an offer of a job but wants to delay the start date, it is nobody else's business but the person and their future employer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brommers Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Danny Murphy on Talksport just now talking about the Cardiff situation. Suprised game going ahead, family cones first blah blah blah. Ffs he's changed his tune. What an end of a bell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OohAahGuyWhittingham Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Perhaps in hindsight we would have been best keeping his appointment under wraps until nearer the time, letting Bullen carry on as caretaker. I think us Wednesdayites pretty much unanimously agree that Bruce is more than entitled to honor his family commitments, there was always a danger the media would jump on this (especially if results went badly in the meantime) It's already been blown out of proportion but hopefully this doesn't go any further now, and Bruce lets his work do the talking when he takes over later this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brommers Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Ooh, massive climb down now after being questioned by jim white. I didn't know all the circumstances. No poo Sherlock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beloved_aunt Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 This should really be the end of it now. Also note in the article the mention of his severence from Villa and the Feb 1st date as I've been saying for ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlZfan84 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Can't wait for him to get here. I really think we've made the right choice in bringing in Bruce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plonk Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 So absolutely nothing there that we didn’t know. But some end of bell ( love that expression who ever coined it) on the bbc gobs off and now iris national news. In the telegraph no less! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcityowlsfan Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 We've all known the situation for weeks yet they are trying to peddle a story about it. Only people making a deal out if it are non wednesdayites such as the blunts who were calling radio sheffield last night. weird bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Just hope the press conference on Thursday doesn't get side tracked by this nonsense and the focus is on football. Take note local journo's please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finney on the Wing Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Patience and empathy are two things society has been severely lacking in over these last few years. The majority of Wednesday fans have been excellent in both cases since the Bruce announcement. Even if results don't go as expected over these next few months having a go at Bruce would vindicate the argument of Gullitt and Murphy - let's give Bruce, and the team, the backing they need. Loved the 'Steve Bruce Barmy Army' chant on Sunday, an Icelandic hand clap on the 'Bruce' would enhance it. (Well done to all the fans who went - you sounded fantastic). 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodgybysea Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Murphy tho,he was asked two questions on talkcrap and answered ,'well I don't know the full details bla bla bla but', sounds like research ain't his strong point. Then asked about Brucie,he repeated the same old rubbish Managed Sheffield United,we are in a relegation fight,really,and then admitted once again he didn't know the details. No sign of an apology to the Bruce family,the mans an absolute tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 One other thing that Danny Murphy doesn’t appear to understand is that even if Bruce was just ‘sunning himself or whatever’ then I wouldn’t have a problem with that either. There’s no drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarn owl Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Never needed to know why, it's a personal matter end of. We have done fine under Agnew and we were never in a relegation scrap thanks to the good run under Bullen. As for Murphy, no apologies is classless, accept you were wrong like a man. As for Gullit again classless and put an official apology out there. Surgery and family issues and you are having a go. idiotic. Don't comment so strongly if you don't know the facts. Bloody 2019 for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls77 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Why is it only in the football world this becomes an issue in every other profession this is accepted. A break before starting a new job is widely accepted to refresh the mind and spend time with family. Every other club would probably have said no, Wednesday should be commended for doing this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
