Bluesteel Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Just now, CalmJimmers said: It does, but it's not uncommon is it, especially Senior level. We've just had somebody accept a job and turn away from it before they even started. We had a replacement ready for if that happened. Yes it's frustrating as owt but that's why you have succession strategies in place to minimise damage. Yeah, that’s fair. People have their reasons, they do what’s best for them bit they are judged accordingly and they get a bit of a bad rep in my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcx666 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Again, if there was no truth in thsi, Bruce could have come out and just said that. Even Allardyce did and he isn't even with a club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we let him watch the cricket in West Indies whilst we had games in January. Bucket list my arse. He had zero respect for us and this confirms it. fizz him.

We gave him the time because he was the best we could get. If we demanded he came straight away he wouldn’t have bothered and we’d have had to settle for someone worse.

No one cares about 25 years ago our current status of the last 20 years probably puts us on par with the likes of Wigan, Blackburn, Reading, Ipswich i know as a human you’ll always be protective and favour your own, but people really do need to wake up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I guess that's fair as well - you make your decisions and you will be judged for them. Guess what I'm trying to get at (not aimed at you) is that people saying we gave him time off before coming, we're Sheffield Wednesday much bigger than Newcastle etc have their heads in the sand. If we've gotten stung by Bruce wanting to take time off before coming here then more the fools us, and we need to learn from it. Any manager in this league who would get approached by Newcastle would leave, easily, they are bigger and better than us. Unless you are Real or Barca you are going to get your head turned at any club. We rest on our laurels and what we did 20+ years ago far too much. Time we started building up to being big again, which means cutthroat and professional business decisions and structures, rather than stamping our feet and telling everybody we're a big club.
