Anlaby Owl Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) The problems will start if we get someone incapable of galvanising the fanbase. With a high degree of togetherness I recon we'll perform whoever is in charge. Without that cohesion I think we'll struggle perhaps horribly... For what it's worth I think Ollie could get most of us onside, though I don't think he's the most able of those suggested.

steelcityowlsfan Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 How about sell some players and stop hording and wanting over inflated prices for players. Reach, FF, Rhodes could all have gone and raised a good bit of cash to reinvest into the team. If Brentford can do it, so can we. The only difference is we are a bigger club than Brentford and wouldn’t have to do it every season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Night-Owl Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) We need to get this appointment right. For me it's a chance to make a statement, to show some ambition and be forward thinking. A high profile younger manager could build on the foundations prepared by Bruce. A progressive appointment could take it further like Dean Smith at Villa after they got rid of Bruce. In my opinion we should be ambitious and go out and bring someone in like GVB or similar. High profile names are being attracted to the Championship, so let's go and get one. Forget the usual old school names and the job hopping failures. Get this appointment right by showing some ambition and it can finally be our time.

daveyboy66 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) Absolutely...we've had the nonsense of having a foreign coach with no track record by have someone who in six weeks made us competitive and playing to our strengths...we've added pace to our team and, even with a lot of our players not fully fit we finished just a few points away from the play offs. Over a full season we would have been there and whatever the playoffs had resulted it was acknowledged that we weren't far away. So... losing Bruce wasn't the death throes that some of the people on here envisaged. And, more importantly, that platform means we don't deal from a position of weakness even though Bruce has gone. It will only take someone who. after watching the back half of the season will realise that we are a project not too far from completion. I think most of the fanbase realise this and, with Bullen at the helm this continuity is going on and someone will come in and keep this gathering speed. If at the end of it we do miss out then I'm sure we will be further along for the next incumbent...as I've said all along our club song should be Edited July 18, 2019 by daveyboy66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant afford to hang around with a foreign coach until he finds his feet. Club really is living beyond FFP rules so need to get up ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Bullen will take the reins until Bruce comes crawling back in October after the Geordies sack him Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.
