While not allowing myself to be carried away too much by this from blindness of inner hope, I feel it could just be another market mover with no substance.. Is Billic still 1/17?

Given all that, some might suggest it's slightly more understandable if/when Brentford suffers a bad result. Fwiw Smith wouldn't be my first choice, but I'm 100% sure he'd do better than Bruce. Why do you have to resort back to money spent.......why did Leicester win the league, when they spent less than their competitors......Money just raises the odds of getting it right amongst many, many factors., without desire, it guarantees nothing. I think we was talking about motivation and being up for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would mean rushing to find a replacement. I'd rather the board let bruce go on their own terms (IF they let him go) and hopefully they'd have a plan of who to get to replace him. That being said, I can't see him going to Stoke unless he knows the mood in the camp and thinks it might be worth considering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all been done to death as far as I'm concerned. I just hope Bruce does his job now, gets us up, and then pisses off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntrimBlack Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Bruce is going nowhere, especially to a Premier League club. The idea is laughable. It is too late to change him now. We are stuck with him untill the end of the season, and just have to hope that he can justify the faith that many posters have in him, and get us promoted. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh my gosh - can I start to get a little excited at this news - is someone really willing to give us money for Bruce ? Now I am far from being a Mark Hughes fan ( superb footballer) but still has much to do to prove himself as a top manager - but I reckon he would give us a better chance to go up - rather than sticking with Bruce. This is not intended as a ringing endorsement of Hughes - moreover I have very little faith in Boring Bruce to deliver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) Bruce would make sense for Stoke - chance to keep them up and if they fail then the best guy on paper to bring them back up. I could see him being tempted as he must know he will be out the door upon (our potential) promotion anyway. But surely Rowett to Stoke is the best outcome...

dn1982 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Has Bruce ever been poached? There’s a whole heap of managers that’s get brought in for rescue jobs or stability. Most tend to be big impact managers that get teams up for it something Bruce doesn’t seem to be able to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he’s been poached four times - didn’t he quit early in his management after a few weeks to leave Wigan for palace and then quit palace for blues and then he quit blues for Wigan and Wigan for Sunderland . money talks Edited January 9, 2018 by Eastie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in hope that Stoke are stupid enough to offer this man a job. It would be a perfect fit. Lump it up to Crouchy and see what happens. Just what Brucie ordered, a big lad up front..
