Jesus That's not what I said though is it? im unimpressed that we've appointed a bloke who will be sacked within 3 years, if that's without us promoted and being shit in the championship or with us being promoted and being shit in the prem he won't see out his contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 He has walked out on 3 clubs mid-season and then to top it off did a MON on Hull in pre-season 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaAlex Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Given our predicament I am extremely happy with this appointment. I think short term its the best appointment we could have made, I have my reservations long term as he has proven to be a bit wasteful in the transfer market when it comes to building Premier League sides, but we are not a Premier League side as of this moment and I have full faith in him restoring our status in the next 2 years. If all goes to plan we have a better problem to deal with... Despite managing our neighbours, he's a decent guy and hope the crowd get behind him which I think they will. I think he will have it easy given what we have been served over recent years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hardly a MON resign 3 days before the start of the season. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NulliSecundus Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Welcome Steve! Glad to see the majority of comments on here are positive. Some of them are completely bonkers though - we are 19th in the Championship for heavens sake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phumfeinz Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 The key difference is we have a new owner now who wants to put money in to the club and see us succeed. A lot of these complaints read as if Lerner was still in charge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSV Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Pretty sure Bruce wont have full say on signings. I think Steve Round and co will be making signings suggestions. Bruce will just okay signing options 1 2 or 3. As apposed to suggesting option 1043 (his son). People dont like him for many reasons..whether they want to admit hes a former blue.. his record.. or whatever. In the end we need to clean slate and judge him on what he does here. I hope people dont get on his back early because he is who he is. Lets see what he can do.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
