Best post of the whole Thread 100% correct AND on Sooooooo many points. Reel those points off to a „company owner“ who „flies by“ ocassionally leaving a CEO in charge and he would go straight down to the managers office and SACK him immediately

I appreciate your point. Poch has decided that he‘s not needed (atm) and that we could develop him a little. (or whatever you call it). We‘ve seen with Thor, Bruce has played him LB LW CM AM -ish, that a player can be abused out of position. If I remember correctly you described Thor as „utter shit“. If it doesnt help an already seasoned player to play him here, there and everywhere, it will take an exceptional young player a lot more to adapt. Onomah has been decribed as Motm in some games, „the worst player on the pitch“ in others. He‘s probably been everything inbetween too. That suggests to me that either in a certain position, constellation or style Onomah can be a good player. Finding that out is the managers job

So what is his „position“ then?

Sounds like a job for Terry when your dad retires

Well thats noble and wise of him. F*** your strikers over so that there non left then you have a ready made excuse

How did that go then?

Bruce-Ball is killing him

This is the problem. It could be sold as „Quit while you‘re winning“ with Bruce but it‘s time to step up. Adkins <-> Pochettino But then we cant trade like for like (British old school hoof-ist) We‘d have to go for a „foreigner“ with a reputation for a footbal identity. Someone who looks at the likes of Hutton, Whelan and Jedi and straight away thinks „who else we got then?“ „Oh look who we have here, Snod, Lansbury, Hourihane, Onomah, Grealish, Adomah & Hogan, that’s a start, great! let’s press, win the ball get it on the deck, pass and move“

then we are F****ed. We might as well change now then

Who in their right mind plays a young player out of position?

you may well be correct which may not mean that it wont happen correct I do, because I don‘t see Tony overseeing the same „way“ as he has now seen 2 managers underperform countless signing of players with either no long term future at the club or with any kind of re-sellable value. Loans of a GK CB and 2 MF‘s will end June 1st and there is a distinct possibility of Chester, Taylor, Hourihane, Lansbury, Adomah & Kodjia wanting out/PL interest come June 1st He has no choice if we dont go up We will be left with GK JS RB Bree LB Taylor (?) CB‘s Chester (?) Elphick Richards RW Adomah (?) Elmo (?) LW Green DM Whelan Jedi CM Hourihane (?) Lansbury (?) Thor AM Grealish McC CF Kodjia (?) Davis Hogan (?) possible offers from other clubs

BRUCE OUT

It‘s Bruce-Ball it‘s shyite

So Tony, you have a transfer window to come in a few days. Do you 1 - spend more money/trade who we have sellable, and put it in the hands of Bruce - basically writing off Hogan and McC‘s (if reports are that it is NOT a ACL injury) transfer fee‘s and wages as dead capital. or 2 - Sack/compensate Bruce and invest in a new manager who can get the best out of SJ/JS Bree Chester RDL Taylor Lansbury/Onomah Hourihane Snod/Elmo O‘Hare/Grealish Adomah Hogan/Davis/Gaby (yes even Gaby) for a few games untill we can re-group and see who is available on a free/loan I suggest the only roll of the dice is Bruce Out along with Calderwood, Clements, Wyness & Round Try to Sell/trade - Bunn, Hutton, Elphick, Richards, Elmo, Whelan, Thor, Tish, McC & Gaby Keeping in mind that if this season has in fact „gone“, we build for the future. Short-term till a manager is appointed Brian Little assisted by John Terry

I love AVFC my Love for it has nothing to do with hope or belief in the FACT that the person who‘s responsibility it is to lead, direct and decide this team is absolutely F****** useless at it

Belief is a misguided word. For one to „believe“, there has to be a „truth of fact“ I can believe in myself getting up from my couch to make a cup of coffee I can‘t believe in someone else doing it for me. I can ask in the most polite sweetest way, but if that said person either cant or doesnt want to, my belief is unfounded. I can also hope, pray.......whatever. BUT if that „task“ that be is beyond capability. it is not going to happen. It is beyond AVFC with Bruce in charge. Why do I think that? Because he has not got us to do or be that what is needed for the task at hand - Promotion

In Denial is thinking that we‘ll 1 - finish 2nd 2 - finish in the top 6 (possible) AND winning our way past 2 out of 3rd-6th in the table With Bruce in charge. Being 4th (briefly) is as good as it gets.

literally the ONLY way we will have any effect to the team, performances and results from any incoming players is if a different manager is in charge Therefore. yes. 100% 1st for the chop = Steve Bruce

The ratings are a parallel of where we are now - 5th - sliding down the table - less players fit, on form or being effective for us to climb the table. The argue „for“ has been „but Bruce gets us results“ Well my maths say that if 2ppg is the perceived total we need, the last 3 games has cost us 4 pts less ( 2pts from 3 games instead of 6pts from 3games) this last game being the worst „result“ from the 3. Note - going WDDL suggests things are not getting better That simply means 4 wins are needed to make up the pts we have lost. Add to that the ppg we are already behind ( in the 2ppg theory) and there is little if nothing to suggest its a good job done till now. Directly meaning the job need doing in the future needs to be less und les faultless as the games whittle away. I hope the patience are at breaking point and it doesnt need much more to tip Tony over the edge.

Has the Dr tweeted yet?

Hi Tony (hopefull of the remote possibility the he, or someone close to him reads this thread) We wont get promoted playing this type of football which will not change whilst Bruce is in charge. Maybe the coaching staff too. Possibly Wyness and Round if they are all in support of Bruce and his methods. Therefore Bruce has to be replaced ASAP. Those who are also of his mould and incapable of bringing a positive approach to the team, training and recruitment in, must also be released. It may already be too late this season, maybe not. At the worst, we would have a headstart in preparing for next season.

I agree with every single word you posted

How much more proof does anyone need? Bruce Out

Did a journo remind him of the numbers at the top left of the screen?
