Castleford Owl Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Steve Bruce spoke with passion and certainty and makes you want to trust him- the bloke knows what he’s doing. As soon as DC opened his mouth I was cringing. It’s not so much the fact his English is poor, he just can’t seem to handle questions in the proper manner. He shouldn’t be there to answer questions (no matter what he’s asked) unless he can answer them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He shouldn’t be there to answer questions (no matter what he’s asked) unless he can answer them. I personally don't think he is that Bad at answering questions, just that the questions he is asked are poor and the follow up questions are poorer. The questions are usually loaded questions and then the follow ups are drawn out and vague. For example when talking about if there is money available and dc answered but also asked if they meant in regards to ffp or his money, they should have responded in a simple way and followed that up but their response even lost me so no idea how a non native was meant to follow it. Also they ignore half of what he says when they report it, focusing on whatever is most controversial. Poor journalism. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think the fact he speaks in broken English leaves him open to manipulation and being missquoted. I do feel it would at least be worth having Meire with him to answer questions.

Debatably (depending on whoever listened to his forum paddy) the Club is up for sale On top of these warnings and theories that we have to sell a few players to balance the books. we sack a manager prob incurring additional cost in severance (thank god) we employ a new management team at reported record levels we sign 3 more players ( in areas desperately needed for years) at the time of typing this I don't know of any departures I think it's fair to ask the owner what has changed since his warnings What we then hear from him is that he's received many offers some extraordinary that with his experience here so far he should have snathched their hand off (IF real) and his method of dealing with these is not to answer . He is a complete nightmare to negotiate with. Having said that it did spoil the unveiling of what is possibly the best decision DC has made so far . We've yet to find out if sage and onion has been muted but the immediate addressing of glaring problems has to be a good start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owls maniac Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 In his follow up interviews Bruce has described DC as "eccentric" and "off the wall". So at least he can't say he doesn't know what he's letting himself in for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Lestrade Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 A very reasonable view from a non-Wednesday fan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or perhaps going back to using a translator would be useful for preventing misunderstandings.. though I suppose translators come with their own issues of misunderstandings.
