That would be plain foley in my opinion TRO - if he does not deliver the goods this season - on what basis does he deserve to stay - ? I don't want us lingering around this league for a moment longer than necessary - despite us doing well at this moment and I won't be taking anything away from all concerned - SB just does not inspire me to the point that makes me feel he can take the club forwards and back to where we want to be. Quite, sack him and get someone in with a proven track record of getting teams promoted out of the championship. Ahhh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That old chestnut about his promotion record. How many premier title's has Wenger won ? When was the last time ? It will be somewhat ironic if he fails with us, considering the money and talent on offer. Nothing is certain, that's for sure. Let's hope I'm wrong.

Precisely! Wednesday have hardly been the model of managerial stability either! Think @Dave J‘s comment was one of the more wacky contributions to this debate!

Wagner wasn't but took Huddersfield up, which kind of proves, there's no certainties in this game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No - my point is quite simply by hanging onto Bruce if we fail to gain promotion this year - could lead to years in the wilderness & and a revolving door just Like Leeds/Wednesday - something I personally wish to avoid ! - if we fail he goes in my view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairy In Boots Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 a week ago it appeared I was going to be wrong about Bruce holding us back. I wish I was wrong but I’ve been right all along his inability to tactically react and now they’ bottling it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
