eholm Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Mmmm....that statement is not exactly a ringing endorsement with no quotes from NSWE. Unless there is another more detailed comms on the way, this seems very much like a short term plan.....it’s as though they forgot to add the words ‘....for now’. Disappointed that SB remains but I firmly believe it is a decision based on logistics and timings as opposed to him matching the vision. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCforever1991 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 He needs to repay the loyalty by getting us up this season, anything else is a failure. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Happy with this, I think he deserves another six months to see where he can get us. Last season he came close after a terrible year personally, and with a team with a lot of injuries to key players. I think changing the manager this close to the season and putting someone like Henry in charge with zero experience would have massively hindered us at the start of the season. Those that don't agree with Bruce staying fair enough, but give him a chance and get behind him and the team. We all need to be pulling in the same direction this season, especially with the young players in the squad. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Well, I think it's good news, and I think it's the right thing to do for our situation right now. If we fail to progress or go backwards this season then fair enough, time for a change, he's then had two full seasons. I actually think we'll surprise a few people this year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okonokos Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Right decision. I think he'll surprise a few of you this season. Glad he's here and he's got my full support. UTV 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted July 25, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted July 25, 2018 Honestly don't see him lasting long. If we have another poor start to the season like last year, he will be gone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Bruce with the same squad and additions will give us a great shot at promotion. I wonder if these funds that are supposedly there will cover this? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RimmyJimmer Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Right decision at this moment in time. Too close to the start of a new season to change, and with new owners finding their feet bruce is a safe pair of hands. Not everyones favourite decision but the best one under the circumstances. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We must remember what he went through last year and how he stuck to his job throughout, showed guts and determination and should be applauded. We all know we need to play better football, do we think he doesn't? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciggiesnbeer Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Happy enough with this. If we do end up changing managers it needs to be with someone who has been a manager before or has a clear ethos. Our club is no place for a rookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
