TrickyTrev Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Where there's smoke there's fire. No doubt there will be an approach from Newcastle today and I think Bruce would want to go, I just look at how Chansiri handled the whole Forestieri situation however and hope he either insists on a much higher compensation figure or tells Mike Ashley to go f*** himself.

And I would imagine all parties are further ahead with this than what the media are reporting....they’ve probably already been in touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesWalker Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I really hope DC isn't being as naive as he has in the past. Bruce will show zero loyalty to him or us. DC needs to be sounding out potential replacements if he even thinks Newcastle will approach him for Bruce. Chris Houghton should absolutely be his number 1 target.

frastheowl Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I'd be bitterly disappointed if Bruce left so early in the job. He has that aura that this club craves in its manager. Big Ron-esque. And I'd like to think the amount of patience we allowed him when pursuing him would be taken into consideration. That said, the Man Utd job aside, this is Bruce's dream job, in the Premier League, and I'd imagine all this uncertainly regarding our transfer embargo, doesn't go in our favour either. If Newcastle do make an official approach, they'll have been given assurances that Bruce is open to the idea of moving. And that'll be that. Chansiri will have to ensure he gets the maximum compensation possible, and then begin to start replacing him...immediately. For me, I'd go all out for Chris Hughton. He'll build the club in the right way, sustainably and he'd be able to continue to build on the early foundations Bruce's team have started to implement. No other candiate for me...he's the best out there. Go and get him. Like Chansiri did when replacing Luhukay. Identify the best available, and go and get him.

He's on a fekkin' shot to nothing if he goes there. If he's a success, he can establish himself as a PL manager. If he fails or gets sacked, he retires on a huge PL pay-off.

The Night-Owl Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) Why's everyone assuming that Bruce will go? He's not been here long, he brushed off speculation, he's put structures in place and Bruce and his son seemed moved by the patience DC gave him whilst he needed time off before taking charge here. Newcastle fans don't want him, would he really want to walk into another Villa situation, in what would appear a short term job? I really hope Bruce stays because he seems the right fit and the right man for the job here. Plus, I really don't see us being able to get a suitable replacement. I genuinely fear another season will be written off if he goes. Edited July 10, 2019 by The Night-Owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
