bigdan2003 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 There'll be a statement when Sheffield Wednesday are ready to make one. We shouldn't be pressured into doing stuff because of the sh*thousery of Mike Ashley and Steve flippin Bruce. A statement won't change anything. What do folk expect from this statement? It will only confirm what we already know anyway. If anything, it'll give the usual suspects another excuse to moan because it won't say what they want it to say. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulva Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Just now, mkowl said: Although some form of deal has had to be negotiated - for him to be employed by another club Depends how watertight his contract here was. We are presuming a lot here about a contract and release clause we haven’t seen. Ashley is no fool, and I suspect he has some very smart people working for him.

S36 OWL Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Id be more than happy not hearing anything from DC until he appoints our new manager . Bruce is a tw&t , we dont need a statement from DC to tell us that. Let the man get on with the job in hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 6 minutes ago, SiJ said: Agenda? Nah. Think you've ended up becoming a bit of a parody of yourself. Falling over yourself to find fault with every little thing the club does or hasn't even done. Barely 15 minutes have past since Newcastle confirm and you're on the clubs case for not releasing a statement. It must be exhausting getting outraged at everything, real or not. Maybe just maybe I think the club needs to be better? We are kept in the dark over a number of things. People are quick to accuse Bruce of all sorts but swear loyalty to the club. This isn’t the first time things have gone pear shaped under Chansiri, so I’m sorry if I’m a bit skeptical about the circumstances of Bruce’s departure. I have always praised Chansiri’s efforts and dedication to the club. But I think silence over this shows poor communication and leadership. It’s an opinion on a football forum. Why do you always have to make it so personal? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WC1Owl Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) If there's any ongoing legal issue, that may mean a statement wouldn't be helpful at this point. If there isn't, I'm happy for the club not to be issuing an insincere boilerplate statement thanking Bruce for his service. Although it would possibly be funny to issue a statement saying, "The club can confirm that Steve Bruce no longer works here."

Presumably the statement should read we have accepted a payment from Newcastle to release Steve Bruce from the club, we wish him well in his future endeavours (cough, cough), we are now looking for a new manager and hope to update the most important people to the club the fans by the end of this week. Even this is better than what we currently have a club being completely silent about anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 14 minutes ago, Beholder said: Parody my arse. Really is no need to make everything personal. Calling for a statement is completely legitimate in these circumstances doesn't mean anything about the poster in question. You're one to talk. Is suggesting someone has become a parody of themselves on an internet forum all that personal? If that causes so much offence then perhaps the internet isn't for you.

Maybe the club is a little tied up at the minute trying to find a new manager, considering there is under 3 weeks until the season starts. What is the point of issuing a statement that says, we are looking for a manager, when quite clearly, we are looking for a manager. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodie Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 When this emerged at the end of last week I was gutted for the day. Everything is easier after sleeping on it. He wasn’t as committed to the club and fans as he said, its a let off in my eyes, good riddance, We are Sheffield Wednesday not Steve Bruce FC, he will soon be forgotten, Our main concern is getting the right man in to replace him, fingers crossed UTO.
