Realistically where would we be now? He steadied a rocking ship, once he left it sank

Absolutely no idea, purely hypothetical

I’m pretty confident we’d have made the premier league if he’d stayed that season. We then wouldn’t have had all the FFP mess. How long we’d have stayed there though is another matter given DC’s incompetence. We could very well have been in the same position we are now, but with one season of PL action!

Why would he come back? He's a very successful manager in the type of jobs he does. He's a bit like Fat Sam in that way.

We were third at christmas. Then Monk’s influence killed us. Another transfer window with Bruce and I’m pretty confident we’d have gone up.

You make it sound like we were 3rd under Bruce at Christmas. How many games did he have before he jumped ship? We might not of dropped as much as we did under Monk but no chance we were going up.

Not a chance in hell he'd even consider it. I'm still of the belief he identified that our chairman is a bit mad and wanted out as soon as possible. I don't think Newcastle just randomly came calling.

Surely it was Monk that got us to us to third though, nothing to with Bruce.

No way would we have gone up in my opinion.
