Obviously the unwashed lot down the road lumping on.

Would love Fonseca but it's a big ask. Wouldn't say it's totally out the question mind

Ah well. We dust worself down and move onto the next one

This. As I said the other week, I think they'll be looking for a highly ambitious appointment from abroad.

One would assume that their chosen candidate has given the green light and said yes, or else why sack him now? Why not wait one more game till the international break? Imagine we'll see an appointment early next week, or maybe even by the weekend and said manager will be in the stands watching?

**** GET IN YES YES YES YES YES YES YES

Everything about this club is **** brain dead. Hope the owners line up their man quickly I can't take much more of this **** clearing in the woods any longer even though I said previously I was prepared to wait for the owners to get the man they really want... **** it put Agnew in temporary charge he can't do any worse than this **** useless clown pretending to be a manager. **** off you potato headed word removed

Preston are utterly abysmal. 2 good finishes though. We've put wor boots on today at least

Preston are utterly piss poor. We'll win this and the clearing in the woods clings on for another game. Always seems to get 'easy' home games when he's on the ropes. Jammy bastard

Alan Nixon @reluctantnicko VILLA. Bruce may get next two games before decision made at break. Dean Smith name being mentioned and checked.

Bristol are just as bad as us

We need to batten down the hatches now

Stands there on the touchline like a fat lemon doing nothing. **** clueless clearing in the woods

No way is this team playing for the manager. Walking around like it's a Sunday morning stroll

I will celebrate like **** when this fat clearing in the woods is finally sacked. We're drawing ever near to it

I'm relaxed either way. If we win great, if we don't it pushes this clearing in the woods closer to the door. End of the day we all know Bruce is going and it'll be when the owners' plan fall into place.

True but actually Lambert at one point had Wolves on the verge of the relegation zone. In fact they flirted with relegation more under Lambert than Walter Zenga, so an interim manager doesn't always work. In fact an interim manager can make things worse if the appointment is wrong. That's my worry but I can see the argument for an interim to be fair. I suppose the atmosphere won't be so toxic with a stop gap than it would be if that clearing in the woods remains but it would have to be the right stop gap. I went to their game against Burnley last week with a Wolves mate of mine, and they were seriously impressive. It was literally men against boys despite the scoreline. They look a very well organised and well coached unit, and it's clear Nuno had improved average players like Conor Coady, Ryan Bennett, Matt Doherty for example into players who are confident and can compete at Premier league level. As you say, Bruce hasn't improved any player here. If anything, they were stars at their previous clubs before declining under SB's 'coaching'. Wolves sacked off Lambert and took a risk hiring a coach from abroad, with a recruitment plan and a style in mind. They did what we should have done a year ago - not settle for mediocre - sack the underperforming dinosaur and hire a top manager who can coach and develop players. Unfortunately we failed to do this and we're now paying the price. It is what it is unfortunately.

As others have said, he is clearly on borrowed time. He has to be. The obvious explanation is that the owners' preferred choice (I suspect a foreign manager in work, possibly with links to Mendes) is unavailable at the moment. They will remove Bruce when their plan falls into place. Sure it's frustrating as **** that this clearing in the woods is clinging on but I suppose it's short term pain, long term gain. The last thing we want to do is sack Bruce and appoint someone who the owners don't really want. My guess is the manager they want is a very ambitious target who won't be available yet. I'm sick to **** death of Bruce but to be honest I'm already resigned to not going up this season, this is a long term project with this new ownership. If it takes time to get the man they want who will bring success to the club long term then so be it. I'm done ranting about him, he IS on his way out. It's just a matter of when. As much as I like him, I think they are targetting much better than Dean Smith, I am convinced of that.

The fact we're even looking at this is a possibility sums Bruce up. Yes sure he'd be a decent stop gap for a few months (anything's better than **** Jedinak there) but he should have got a **** centre back in during the window instead of looking for short term old players all the time. Sorry, don't want to turn this into another Bruce thread but it really pisses me off.

They had a manager who knew what he was doing with a clear way of playing. Meanwhile we have this negative clearing in the woods

It's such a crying shame at the talent we have yet a terrible manager. Pleased with the win but it just buys him more time to **** up again

Put wor boots on and go out and play lads

Jedinak at CB OMFG piss off Bruce you clearing in the woods

Even Bruce isn't shit enough to drop points to this lot. Rotherham are utter garbage, we'll win this by 2 or 3. Although sadly when we come up against the better sides the same shit cycle will continue.

Got more lives than a cat this man has. Jammy jammy bastard. Will we EVER get rid of him! **** hell
