In his short time here he has trimmed the squad, got rid of the deadwood and made some key extensions and signings. All whilst under a transfer embargo, which is absolutely none of his doing. Not to forget he helped turn last season around after the absolute mess we saw under Jos. Played some decent footy and had us in with a shout of the play offs up until the penultimate game. Not bad going. He’s left to join a Premier League club, one which he has wanted in the past. Why are we getting so butthurt? It’s a shame for us, but this isn’t the first pre season under Chansiri which has been shrouded in controversy and uncertainty. Perhaps just maybe there is more to this than Bruce being an ungrateful and arrogant man out to damage Sheffield Wednesday and it’s fans? He’s not a villain. He signed a contract , he has had all the backroom staff put in place ,one only a few weeks ago ,and has signed 3 players , new season nearly upon us But hes done nothing wrong ...well not legally no, but morally????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly this. Mike Ashley is the main instegator of the whole situation. He s got short arms and deep pockets that bloke. Hes waded in with his big spoon stirred everything up and sat back to watch the fallout with no respect for our club or his own or for DC and bruce and when he's finished ruining 2 clubs preseason he will probably walk away as he doesn't want to pay the compensation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S72 Owl Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 It’s football. You can can love a player one day but if he signs for someone else you can hate him the next. Regarding Bruce, you kind of expect your manager to be a good role model. This is why Bruce must be moved on now. He can’t demand 100% from his players when he’s trying to force a move away.

I know some disagree, but I just don't see how Steve Bruce can walk into that dressing room and command the same amount of respect as he did prior to all of this. As you say, can those players give him their all when they know he wants out or wanted out? Fair enough, some will just see it as part of the game...but usually, if a manager wants to go, he goes or is removed. Not too often you get a situation where a manager actively declares his desires to move and then stays on. Edited July 14, 2019 by SiJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prowl Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 We had big divisions in the fan base at the end of Carlos's time and all the way through the Jos months. Bruce came in and almost all the fanbase got behind him. That pleased me, I liked the fact everyone was pulling in the same direction. Then Bruce p1ssed on our chips and it's all gone to pot. I still don't hate him, even worse, I'm totally indifferent towards him. I don't care if he goes, I don't care if he does well at the barcodes or not. He's of no importance to me.

People are angry as Chansiri bent over backwards to get him and gave him time off. Bruce is the true definition of a mersonary. Time to move on. His "true colours" being wanting to manage a premier league club? I dare say that's the "true colours" of all managers in the championship? Get over it. I hope he stays, and if he does i wont blame him for having his head turned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrev Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I don’t hate Bruce, I just wish he’d hurry up and leave the club so that we can all move on and try to limit the damage this whole sorry saga has done to our pre season just 3 weeks ahead of the Reading match.
