We are going backwards very very quickly! Very slowly actually. It's been the best part of 10 years. This is the first positive step in a long time if you ask me.

Was also apparently the first Spurs manager to win at Old Trafford for 23 years. But yeah, he's shit. Anyway, Steve Bruce... So what you mean is. He has won **** all basically! Yes, Steve Bruce indeed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calling Cattermole and O'Shea duds is beyond bizarre as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About time we recruited a experienced manager I hope it does go 'horribly right'. I just hope the club is fully aware that if we lose a few games, especially the one on the 30th of this month, then a sizeable amount of fans will remember exactly who he used to manage. For those saying it's a safe appointment, I think it's the exact opposite. Xia has given plenty of ammo to the fans to criticise the way the club is being run and shots will be fired if he doesn't win games, and fast. 'It's a bold move, Cotton'.

I guess if your view of a manager is purely on winning trophies then, yes, at Spurs he was awful. The only manager that has won anything for them this millennium, by the way, was Juande Ramos. Think about that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the assumption were under a new promising era with Dr. Xia, This latest managerial appointment has me doubting this new era only 6 months in and our 2nd manager already. I am still looking for the positives of this and yet to find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 for me this is a McLeish appointment all over and it does for me question Xia ambition or was he just all talk about making us that big then again if its only a contract until end of season then I wont complain that much 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow (I'm willing to bet it was significantly less than we've spent this season, as well). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIVillan Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 He doesnt inspire me but I thought Lambert would work and even liked the idea of Garde. I was right about Sherwood and RDM so I cant predict the future BUT If Bruce follows previous form and we sack him in 2/3 years time I will take that as we will get to Sack him as a mid table Premier Team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcleish we were still a relatively big club, with a decent history and reputation. We are a Championship club now, sitting 19th. Steve Bruce is the best I think we could really hope for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
