It was whether bruce could have got them promoted. Bruce was a playoff final away from getting US promoted. he was two victories away from getting us promoted automatically. And Wolves had a better squad than us. Would it have been as convincing? No. Would it have been entertaining? No. But would he have got them up? Yeah I reckon. But would Bruce have ever assembled a squad of this qualify or passion, or style of play ? I would have to question this tbh with you. Nuno strikes me has having the X - factor and I really think Wolves have a strong chance of doing well.

The club and the Mendes connection assembled the squad. But that wasn’t the point being made anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrytini Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Any chance of 2 Bruce threads ? Thread 1 - this one, anything goes. And goes. And goes again. Thread 2. As pro or anti as you like but restricted to events from Hull Away onwards ? I would like that very much. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he is staying and posting over and over what a poor manager he is will not change a thing. How about we just let thread trickle down until the first game. Where's the fun in that ? I love's me a bit of Bruce baiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you even mention the play - off ? We treated Fulham like they were Real Madrid. We were garbage, and the blame lies firmly at the manager's door.

I enjoyed last season despite not going up. cant believe you would take a pundit over Bruce. If you think last year was a failure Henry would be a complete and utter disaster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well getting on for half of these years he was managing in the premier league and you can’t get promoted from that league. Even a dog in a suit knows that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
