owler66 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I'd give it him but hopefully the club will look after him if it doesn't work out so we don't have a Dooley situation, but if he excepts it it's a decision for him, would he want to go back in the ranks and work for another manager if he fails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonLeon Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 6 months isn’t a lot of time to go from thinking you’re not the man to get us to the Premier League, to thinking your are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall he said he didn’t want it in January 2018 just before Luhukay was appointed. Can’t remember him specifically saying he didn’t want it in December, pretty sure everyone knew Bruce was coming in. Might be wrong though.

S1Owl Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I reckon the players are as pist off about the Bruce situation as the fans but also seem to want to pull together to show they don't need him and can have just a good season without.. For me, just thinking of Bruce would motivate me to do better now he's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 People saying Bullen should get it because he’s loyal. That shouldn’t determine if he gets the job. Just because Bruce was a snake doesn’t mean Bullen should get it just because he is loyal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 This is so depressing Lee Bullen brings a lot to the club and I’m very grateful for his presence, especially at times like this. He’s no manager though and it’s amazing how many people are happy to chuck him the most important job at the club just because he’s loyal etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not the man we need to take us forward. Would be a disaster for him and us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wednesday through and through and he's gathered knowledge and experience from our other managers over the years. If he's ready to accept the responsibility, give him a chance I say. I would LOVE us to go up with a true Wednesday legend at the helm Name one appointment from within that's worked here. We need a tried and tested manager not someone who just pulls at the heart strings, with no contacts, no proper backroom staff it would be a nightmare not only for us but for him ss well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
109Waddle Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 The out of work managers don’t inspire me, I’m not sure they’d inspire the players! I wouldn’t be against Bullen in the short term but there’s no denying it’s a big risk for us and him. i still think we have a very good squad who should be pushing top half/play offs, Bruce did the obvious things last season, key players such as Westwood came back in(Bullen made that call) and we went a long way.

Beauchief Owl Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I see Holloway has also thrown his hat into the ring. Fair dos to him but would not be my first choice. Wouldn't mind Monk but it might depend upon the exact circumstances of his transfer dealings at previous clubs which I believe have been called into question.

That’s just some names gathered together by the bookies. Successful managers are found by clubs every season and I don’t think their criteria will generally be ‘oh well he’s been hanging around for a while and the obvious names don’t look great so let’s just give it him’. It’s no wonder we are not a successful club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s no wonder we are not a successful club. Personally can’t see DC taking a manager from another club, don’t think that’s in his nature. That’s how to get the best managers in my opinion. I see what you mean, but the advantage Bullen has got is that he’s not failed anywhere else yet. All these other managers have. Might count for something.

WalthamOwl Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Biggs on twitter massively advocating Bullen for the job and saying about getting Chris Turner to come in and work with him. fizz me. Also didn’t Biggs write Bullens book with him? No wonder he is shouting Bullens name for the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggs is just talking from his own point of view, entitled to his opinion like us I am though a bit surprised he’s advocating Bullen without giving a thought as to wether DC values him more as a club man, what happens if it goes wrong and DC has to lose a trusted employee ? I honestly think it will play a part, and the fan base tearing him to shreds if/when it goes wrong and believe me they would .... Memories of lifting that trophy at millennium stadium or not , he’d be hounded out without a moments thought from half of fanbase first sign of trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
