Despite looking washed up and devoid of a plan B when things started to go wrong at Brighton. Was thinking if Bruce is slightly younger and near the end of his career, then maybe Hughton is possibly nearing that stage too? I don't know. Personally he seems like he would be a decent appointment looking at his record at this level but it seems like those who want him are ignoring the negatives or risks. Plus, it's been suggested that he might be taking time out before he even returns to management and I'm not even sure we could get him or he might not even be interested? Another proven experienced manager might be the right answer now and in the short term but there's a chance it might not work. Personally, I'd prefer doing things more long term and forward thinking, as I think it was poor recruitment and short term thinking that got us into a mess before we brought Bruce in. But after Bruce as revitalised us and built decent foundations for a successor, it might be smarter to do a similar thing that Villa did by replacing him with a more forward thinking appointment. That's just my opinion, as I feel that might be the best thing to do long term. That's not to say other ways of thinking won't work, as in the short term another experienced manager might be the answer but what's wrong in thinking what if it doesn't work, eventually we might be replacing another manager and so forth, whatever happens, which is why I see some benefits in thinking long term. There's always a chance it might not work whoever you employ. At the end of the day I'm looking at the dangers of an inexperienced up and coming manager, you are looking at the dangers of getting someone wth experience in. Either of us could be right or wrong, Let's revisit it in a years time. If we employ a youngster I will shake your hand and congratulate you if it all works out. I'm sure we both want what's best for the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care about being right, would much rather be proved wrong, if it meant the best outcome for Sheffield Wednesday. Hopefully we'll get the right replacement in, whoever it might be.

marshy Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 The replacement worries me more than Bruce leaving right now. Just hope it's not a jos type left field appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anyone really believe Steve Bruce could stay loyal to a football club that he has managed ? IF and it's a Twin Towers sized IF he's still here as our manager this time next week he will have changed the habit of a serial "Gun for Hires" lifetime ... He really has been up to now "The Whòre of the English football League" Can this Leopard change his Spots ?........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avon barksdale Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Season is 3 weeks away as is the transfer deadline, We are top heavy with strikers and lacking in midfield and possibly defence. Situation needs sorting ASAP so it doesn’t ruin our season. It’s ok saying take Ashley for every penny, is that really giving us the best chance of promotion this season.

The acting was a bit wooden but you can't have everything. If they did it now Bill and Ben would probably get married. Neither of them wanted anything to do with 'little weed'.
