JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 2 hours ago, Junxs said: I actually think Sam would do a great job, not only in taking us up but ensuring we dont come straight back down. Bruce isnt going to take us up - we all realise that now, but before when there was a possibility he might, we would have come straight back down as his record in the top flight really is poor. Sam till the end of the season at least is a good shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One For The Road Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I am truly convinced that this man has got absolutely no idea what he is doing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm quickly getting fed up of him. He has overseen two disgraceful managerial appointments. Yes he has put his money where his mouth is in terms of transfers, but he has screwed up the most important thing of all twice, I have no confidence we will replace Bruce with a good manager. He's also not pulling the trigger anywhere near fast enough on this, we are already massively behind. If it was 'too late last season' (in terms of him getting rid of RDM) then he's only going to see us in the same position this season.

Eastie Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 You would hope xia has lined up a replacement but I have little faith in him or wyness. The dithering in sacking Bruce suggests a weak leader who has put in his trust in wyness a man who is probably loathe to admit he made a bad decision in backing Bruce , a total mess and millions wasted yet again .

Jeez he's only been here a year, personally I think he sacked RDM too soon, but he replaced him with a manager who had just got HULL promoted, so on paper I don't think you can fully say he appointed a disgraceful manager, in hindsight yes you could, but at the time it wasn't. I cannot see how anyone can be disappointed with the Dr, it's frustrating we didn't get anywhere near going up last season, it's abysmal we have started so woefully this season, and I imagine the doctor will sack Bruce soon if he doesn't get something or an improved performance from the boro game as from his tweet you can see how his moods been changing. But cannot fault the Doctor just yet. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Looks like the Doc is experiences the harsh realities of owning a football club. I get the impression he thought it was going to be a lot easier. Now I wonder who sold him the idea it was going to be an easy ride... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how Bruce was a "disgraceful" appointment. His CV speaks for itself and most of us were happy with the appointment. And he has since backed Bruce a lot in the transfer market. It hasn't worked out but that is not Tony's fault. He hasn't done much wrong IMO. Yes he can be a bit too vocal on twitter but he is clearly invested the club and I'm sure things will eventually come good under his stewardship. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 (edited) Nothing has come good of his stewardship so far because he has failed to get the right manager in. The people he has hired to make these decisions do not have a clue and fail to recognise the requirements of a manager in this day and age, instead they blindly opted for a dinosaur who looked good on paper but the reality is that he did have 'it' for a club of this size, resources and expectation. Instead of moving swiftly to correct it he is again dithering to the point where we are getting increasingly cut adrift and any new manager instantly has an uphill task. I don't want to see **** emoji's posted on twitter, I want to see both Steven Bruce and all on field 'decision' makers (i.e. those who recommended the last two managers) sacked immediately.

I think any manager getting sacked 7 games into a new season would be seen as extremely swift! Not saying I don't want it to happen as I'd love a new young trendy exciting manager to come in and galvanise us all, just saying I think after Tuesday Bruce will be gone and the football world will condemn us for acting too swiftly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His mates in the press will but anyone with half a brain would see it's the right move. That said, I can't wait for the legion of idiots who call themselves pundits to blast the sacking because Bruce has such a good 'record' at the level, despite not actually seeing us play under him.

Couldn't give toss what the football world thinks - they see Bruce as a nice media friendly bloke with a decent past record - it's about the present . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
