But yeah, the reason he's off is because of a soft embargo and the fact a club who couldn't spend any money can't spend any money. He’s not allowed to wheel and deal. Which is what he was hoping to do. The embargo and the value we put on players is preventing that. I understand his frustration. Two transfer embargoes in successive seasons, is not acceptable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id consider the cloak and dagger appoach way more disrespectful. I think it is disrespectful to SWFC to have your head turned after only 6 months into his job, a job he's only just started. 5 minutes ago, alanharper said: That's a great idea. Sack him so we don't even get any compo and probably have to pay him off as well. You're right but I am absolutely fuming about the whole affair, we should milk it for as much as we can, just hate disloyalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Night-Owl Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 1 minute ago, darra said: Reports saying that Ashley is trying to lure Bruce with a £60 million transfer budget. What would that buy in the premier league? Not much I reckon. Reading what the Geordies are posting if he did go he would possibly be booed as he walked out for his first home match. Not an easy decision I reckon. Also, Allardyce turning them down means he not even Ashleys first choice, maybe not even second. they've been turned down by lots of managers, no one wants it apart from Bruce (according to the media he would jump for it). Everyone else has either turned it down or ruled themselves out. It's a mental job. Dream job or not, boyhood club or not to walk into that toxic atmosphere as 150th choice, with that owner and with the fans instantly against him would be madness, especially after what happened at Villa. Hopefully he'll see sense, be turned off it or advised not to risk it. Otherwise, we'll struggle to get a suitable replacement before the season starts.

Its a garbage situation, but at least its been done respectfully and the right way. Resigning then taking it. Negating compo. Then im right thete with you. Its a better paid job, rather than a better job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mourinho and Flores are quoted at second favourites at 10/1 and neither of them are going to happen, especially when Mourinho turned down an £89 million package to manage in China.

TommyCraig Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I don't care about all this 'no loyalty in football anymore' business. If he goes to that cursed team and leaves us in the brown stuff then he's a bona-fide Calgon. As the man once almost said 'judge a man not by the thickness of his wallet but by the content of his character'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avon barksdale Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Can remember the barcodes on tv moaning when they had kinnear and wise saying they wanted a local manager. Looks like they getting one and it’s anarchy. Joke set of supporters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Bruce doesn't take it, I would imagine it would be someone out of a job, unless they just hire within. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels that way doesn’t it The only thing is, DC has always said, the recruitment model remains the same, whether coaches come and go An excellent idea, but in practice, it hasn’t always looked that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_1 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 If Bruce goes and the compo is £5m+, which is being widely reported, it looks like it will clear us of FFP completely. I would take Hughton and no FFP worries in an instant, as much as I like Bruce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
