Arthur Bach 15,107 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 How anybody couldn't see past that cricket stunt Bruce pulled off is beyond me. He was doomed before he started. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Its what happens now at many clubs in England and around Europe. Its simple, Get results and you stay in a job, fans weren't complaining when we had Carvalhal and his staff just doing the coaching. no problem with it as long as the people above know what they're doing (football wise) , do you think ours have proved that they do ?????

Heard ages ago that DC signs everything off at the club, even down to paper clips. It’s a fair assumption that’s why so many people have left the club. Total control. No problem with running a business like that, as long as it works. When it doesn’t, you can’t blame anyone else. Fully agree, DC needs to stand back. Link to post Share on other sites
marshy 2,820 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 13 minutes ago, Pieman said: Completely agree. The ‘head coach’ concept is here to stay. Given the money involved, it just does not make sense for one person to be making ‘all’ the decisions. However, as you say, it only really works when you have a successful team around you, providing quality support. There also needs to be a plan or strategy or philosophy, whatever you want to call it, that the whole team works to. The two shining examples of this are Southampton and Brentford. Exactly, there's nothing wrong with the "head coach" system and method of recruitment, but it HAS to be done correctly with a clear plan. We on the other hand ain't got a clue and just want to do it his way. That method will never ever work. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I was referring to the utterly bizarre deal made that Bruce was able to go on holiday for a month whilst we further deterioated. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
S36 OWL 54,053 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Just imagine that Bruce had no idea of what was actually happening inside the club until he walked in the door. Link to post Share on other sites

Needs to sack his agent then because the biggest disgrace in all this is how its all being played out in public. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

@owlstalk 45,769 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 So many people in this thread doing the old thing where instead of discussing Bruce and his intent to leave our club because all is not well, they instead have some bitter ex girlfriend jilted lover bitter posts about the sports writer who tells us the info It makes me sick how Wednesday fans are in 2021 doing that crap instead of debating the topic 2 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to post Share on other sites

gurujuan 13,113 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 1 hour ago, Bluesteel said: I think SB was quite frustrated in having to try and manage DC but if he was so clearly intent on leaving why has Alan Biggs only pulled this card out now? Under Bruce we made a fair few signings in Iorfa, Harris, Aaron’s, Lazaar Odubajo, which most people would have agreed addressed areas we were lacking. Plus Jos signed Hector. In fact, it was only under Monk where the signings were questionable. Since the money ran out, signings have been a little more targeted, other than the last two windows Link to post Share on other sites

Back to the post from Biggs like it or not I think it’s clear that the structure of the club is going to be chansiri and his advisers buying players for a coach to coach and organise that obviously suits a foreign coach better than an English manager rightly or wrongly it appears a British manager won’t work under those conditions As I’ve said in other threads we aren’t going to change it so you either embrace it and enjoy the ride until it ends where ever that will be, or you get yourself worked up about it but it’s never good to get worked up about things you can’t change Link to post Share on other sites
