Not at the beginning TBF And he started with 5 at the back or 3 depends how you look at it , It all went wrong with that formation when Interestingly Hector went walk about all over the pitch He only regained his discipline when Jos had gone and went to a back 4 This leads me to are we really in for Hector . Rumour has it that Fat Frank does not want any players going while they are under sanctions . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nevthelodgemoorowl Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 2 hours ago, hugeowl said: Bruce , Agnew , Clemence etc Obviously thought as we did they were here for the long haul , It seems to me that all of their work behind the scenes, assessing our squad, pinpointing who we want in and who we can afford to let go is being adopted and implemented by the club and is probably the reason we dont have a new manager as yet . I might be wide of the mark but I think the proposed sales of certain players , Joao and Rhodes is part of that process , I for one would think Reach might be a sacrifice as well . If Hector does come in I can see us playing 3 at the Back maybe another Bruce legacy How many F's did Bruce give ? My guess is a big fat zero !

nevthelodgemoorowl Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 So Hugeowl to become Owls new manager ! Well not exactly but he is to become the keeper of the 'Blueprint' which he is to follow to the letter. All will be well ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No less than £12m Yeah definitely Goal scoring midfielder who can play many positions and is getting better. Rarely gets injured and can run all day. We would miss him if we ever sold him. Our biggest asset without a doubt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarn owl Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 everyone seems to have jumped on the 3 at the back comment and reach comment. But the blueprint you talk about i think is absolutely correct. Chansiri and Bullen will know what Bruce was planning and because Bruce left so close to the season they may feel they can do it for now. Plus we have a squad of experience who like Bullen and know how to play together. they can add a couple of people Bruce wanted and away you go. The test comes when things go wrong, can Bullen make the changes when we hit a bad spell to get us back on track. That will be when we can judge him properly, but until we give him a chance, we'll never know. Di Matteo was just liked at Chelsea and just kind of guided an experienced team and that went well, Di Matteo isn't Pep, but he is the only Chelsea manager to win the european cup. It can go well for a short period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Newsome Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Remember when some people thought saying 10M for Reach was too much. In today's market you are asking for at least 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey is a good lad but not sure about him longer term. He was a Jos recruit and was tI old at the time that Jos wanted to introduce some positivity in to the dressing room (!) - not a big reason for buying someone tbh. I do think the Blueprint theory / conspiracy is a sound one though. Anyone coming in now as a manager will be desperate to stamp their in-print on the team so taking the time to find the right person whilst leaving us in the capable hands of Lee is the right move.

It would take Harris out the side too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprinkler Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 As I just posted in the McLaren thread I think we're waiting for the 3 Steve's to get sacked from Newcastle, we take them back and continue with what he's already put in place. It all makes sense, explains why we're going down the route he started and means we're quids in to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
