Popular Post Lord Snooty Posted February 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 1, 2019 One of the most reassuring things about Bruce coming in yesterday - was when he put to bed the notion he would let others target players and signings for him. "I would never take a job anywhere unless I had the final say. So all this..nonsense that I've read and this that and the other that the manager doesn't pick them, not under my watch. If that ever happens then I won't be here. So all the football decisions will be mine. If you're in this industry that has got to be the way. Because if you're gonna fall on the sword then the decisions have got to be yours. It was discussed, and really I think...the Chairman wanted someone like myself with a knowledge , who's been in it long enough to identify that we require for example at the minute we have 6 or 7 centre forwards , that's far too many for everybody, even though it's nice to have. So we'll look at that situation to start with. But yes. All football decisions will be mine." 15 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one point it was suggested that while Carlos wasn't fully involved in the process, he would request a type of player and then had "final say" by way of picking from a list. Jos signed a total of three players, and surely was involved with the signing of Joey. And I don't think anyone complained about the two loanees.

Hooper, Winnall, Fletcher, FF, Joao, Nuhiu and Matias. drat,,,,,,the 5 seconds to remember Matias might be a forward cost me! To be fair, you can't class many of them as out an out centre forwards..........Fletcher and Nuhiu is about it.

Not for me, but neither does FF.......we can also debate the merits of Hooper, Joao and Winnall, all inside forwards(old term) imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
