Lord Snooty Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Local press hijacking the Bruce press conference to throw questions to the chairman. Never miss a chance. There's a time and a place and his reveal conference isn't it .IMO. Still, Im pretty sure it will prove useful to Bruce as an opportunity to see who is who. Who wants to write about football and who is there just to get some sensationalist negative headlines and click bait. He will have been weighing up quickly which ones are bellends. From the brief football talk they allowed the man on his unveiling.... We understand FFP we're not the only ones. Theres lots of clubs. 10, 11, 12. We have to get on with it. There will be more come the end of the season. Expectation - This club hasn't been in the Premier League for a long time and I think it should be up there. There are so many clubs in the Championship who should be. But without the parachute payments it's very hard for them. Budget - The Chairman told me there was no budget from day one. I understand that. It wouldn't put me off. I'll need my experience. But I knew and I'm fine with that. The chairman will support me. Players - Slate it rubbed clean. They have been here (his assistants) but I'll assess squad over the next few months. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlZfan84 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 He took training this morning. Some players have been here a long time, and have had their injury problems; we need to take a look at that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystic Neg Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Let's hope Bruce helps DC with who to sell and release first. Get back to a stage so we can go again. We need to be patient as fans. Well done Snoots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Snooty Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 Delighted - To get started. Big club. Big fan base. Murphy and Gullit- Modern Britain people talk without all the facts. You just learn to get on with it. Support - I was amazed with Wednesdays support. I'll never forget that play off final. I want to make them happy again. Sheffield United - It was a long long time ago. Early in my career. I didn't think twice - When I spoke to the chairman he's so positive and wants to do well. It got my adrenaline going. Under performing - There's some good players under performing. We need to turn that around. There's one or two with big injuries. Well have to look at that. Results People want instant success but it's a long road. That said the Championship is a league where you can put a run together. Look at Fulham last year. Or Hull this year. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest domSWFC Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I think Bruce didn't understand the no budget thing. He made it sound like he doesn't have a set budget, only a blank cheque book. But in actual fact, it means he's got nothing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said though, hopefully it will have given him some insight in to what sort of picture Wednesday get painted in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing Cosby Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I can't read the name of the thread without thinking of Steve Bruce's erect nipples... Is there something wrong with me? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Snooty Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 On a positive note I thought Bruce looked relaxed and refreshed and I would suggest having had a break from the game looks to have done him the world of good. An experienced and revitalised manager is just what we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystic Neg Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I completely trust Bruce, we've had the charlatans, the inept, the blinkered but this guy is as honest as they come with a record that speaks for itself. It won't be this year, may not be next year but if we do the right things and stay patient he can get us up and keep us up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stocksyuto Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) From what I have seen other teams fans say Bruce does well until fans get on his back , so that part of the fan base who love to neg need to keep quiet .

Early on DC suggests we can spend then SB says no budget. Perhaps it’s a case of seeing what we can do as things develop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffsteel Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Regards the budget. Bruce said he’s not been given one, assume he means no figure or could mean the figure is nil. However DC said the budget is what ever Bruce wants to spend. 2 very contradictory statements Then it was explained that DC is willing to spend the max allowed under FFP, which they both agreed was complicated.

Can they just go it, and if they don't gain promotion sell Grealish? Or have they gotten around it another way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fpowl Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I couldn’t understand if we are spending or not. Is the Chansiri going to keep spending and see what happens or not he doesn’t look like he’s to concerned to try and get with FFP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
