sternlad Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Sounds very positive and encouraging that the fans will be kept in the loop. As I said before, just want us to get off to a flyer from the start of the season, instead of it being a damp squib. Let’s see some fireworks for a change.

The one thing in Boyds favour is that Bruce has worked with him before and knows what he's all about. However...I think the odds must be stacked against him in terms of value for money, age and performance level so fsr 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoop Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Whatever happens I trust him 100% to get it right. If only he had half the funds that CC had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be interesting to see. 34 in October though. Don't see anything other than a 1 year extension at maximum. Suspect he'll be after one last longer contract somewhere.

asteener1867 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 There has to be another option to Boyd..I'm not slagging him off, but what does he offer more than maybe a hungry player from a smaller club or an upcoming Wednesday youngster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 It's just all what you want to hear really isn't it. But it's not being said because it's what we want to hear - there is conviction and belief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Really hope we don’t offer Boyd a new deal. A player who imo will be on a very good wage. Get rid and bring back in someone younger that wants to make a name for themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can get younger , fitter players on less money . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulture_squadron Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 What the he'll is a swfc manager doing talking sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WatfordOwl Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Massive statement to say that he's offered Westwood a contract. Perfectly managed when he was made to feel like an outcast by JL previously. At least if KW leaves, we've done our level best to keep him. SB knows how to manage a football club from top down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since he came in I've been wondering what would happen if there was any fallouts behind the scenes or if Bruce dropped a player for attitude reasons etc whether or not he'd just come straight out and say so My gut feeling is that he would Which would be fantastic and end rumour mongering as everyone will know the facts straight up.

Morepork Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Bruce, all over it like no manager in our recent history. He’s a class act, deserves to be a legend here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Bruce won’t give Boyd a contract, or more to the point if he does, i’ll start to doubt his judgement. I reckon Bruce was allowed one overpaid exiting mulligan, and he’s gone for Westwood. As for rest, overpaid, older, injury prone and failed at this level for us at least 2, sometimes 3 season. Get rid of the lot. Huge clear out coming, and not before time. As for Aarons and Lazaar, they can’t keep fit whilst on loan, never mind permanent, so if we offer them deals, we want our bumps feeling.
