Rugeley Villa Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 He is a nice person who's been through a tough time of late. Some of the abuse he's received never say right with me, but I'm sure he's thick skinned. More importantly, I just don't see a good enough replacement out there. Also we have no money to spend next season, so we wouldn't attract no one. The season after we may have more interest from managers, if we go down the line of replacing Bruce for whatever reason. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jareth Posted July 21, 2018 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2018 Already posted I think but this just goes to say how big a deal this is that someone in the game like Bruce can see the opportunity here and see how much bigger it is than him. Fair play. “The new broom always sweeps clean. I hope I’m given the opportunity. First and foremost I think what’s great about the whole thing is the club. Managers and players come and go but for the club itself it’s great news for everybody concerned.” 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skruff Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Cant help but feel some love for the guy. Even though I'd like him replaced I really wish and hope he'll succeed while he is here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if given the chance he would have turned the club around and given us a base to work off just like Taylor Mk I did all those years ago. Whatever happened to McCallisters career too, for all intents and purposes he did well when he was in charge.

Vive_La_Villa Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Almost sounds like he knows his days are probably numbered. Taking it with dignity. Fair play. I’m sure the few million compensation would soften any blow of being sacked if it’s to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted July 21, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted July 21, 2018 I'm not sure whether I want Bruce to go or not to by honest. Can see it from both sides and I agree with points from both sides. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If gets us up challenging he can continue but struggling we can release him around christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope so, because he could be the nicest man in the World, but that isn't going to get us in the Premier league, unfortunately, and,tbh, going on last season, neither is his style of football. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
