I think keeping the dressing room happy in general, and apparently being the only experienced football person in the club right now is what Bruce offers. Happy for him to stay for both those reasons, but it's rare that a manager lasts long when new owners come in. 4 hours ago, Keener window-cleaner said: Haha I'm sorry I meant in the seasons after McGrath, I don't remember who used to play alongside them after (Grayson?

TRO Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I read it like the meeting with the owners is Tuesday.....But diaries change with priorities at their level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PussEKatt Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 The thing is that he knows the English game.He knows the Championship and he knows the players and who to go after.Which other manager could do any better when you take into consideration our TINY transfer budget !? Maybe Henry next season but certainly not this term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he didn't, but that was no hindrance to him guiding his team to top spot. Edited July 23, 2018 by sheepyvillian 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't even make logical sense. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted July 23, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted July 23, 2018 It's all quite ominous, I think the new owners are waiting on someone else to say yes and if they don't then Bruce it is this season - he's a decent fall back option for now.

Popular Post villabromsgrove Posted July 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2018 Our U23's have just beaten Derby today who had some first team players in their team evidently. Bedeau and Clark scored for us in a 2-1 win. We have some good young players, and they need a first team manager who wont block their development with old has beens. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have minded him blowing so much money on Terry/Snodgrass/Whelan/Taylor to go with Hutton/Jedinak he already had if we'd got up. But he did fail. Plus he played like guff all season long, bought in players for one season only wonder hits at the expense of young players who could have plugged small gaps in the squad.
