Jareth Posted October 2, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 2, 2018 It's a matter of when the DOF comes in - they will be entirely incompatible with Bruce. Soon as that appointment is made it's curtains. 2 wins however will make it a tough decision - the way this league is going 2 wins could see us close to 2nd. Bruce has 9 lives - can absolutely see those wins happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAnty Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 For what its worth i dont think the 2 games will make a difference. A new DOF will be appointed in the coming days and Bruce wont be in his plans, how could he be with no tactics whatsoever? No better time then to get a new manager in when there is time over the international break. Purslow probably didnt sack Bruce already as he wants the DOF to have the say on who comes in. Thats what has been holding it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get six points I will be very pleasantly surprised. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straggler Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I can't think of a single time when a manager got the "you have a certain number of games to save your job" ultimatum and didn't get fired. Even if they win the two games the club fires them anyway based on the standard of play or they wait for the next loss and pull the trigger then. It basically means that the club has already made its mind up. It's also the reason why those sorts of ultimatums are pointless, I think they are just there as an optics thing for the club so they look like they gave the manager every chance and didn't have a choice. It may make it easier to recruit other managers down the line if you don't look like ruthless bastards (even though I do hope that the guys in charge are ruthless bastards) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praisedmambo Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Just read his interview bemoaning about the number of mistakes we've made as if he doesn't know where it's come from. The midfielder playign CB and, moreso, the awful keeper he bought are the causes of pretty much all of them. His choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 IF we get 4-6 points from the next 2 games I can't see them sacking him and we will be stuck in this vicious circle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its all speculation of course.....but often managers on their way out, get a win and the decision for them to go, seems ill timed. The two pieces of criteria are not necessarily parallel.

Probably double checking that the danger men from the other team aren't suspended or injured or on the bench. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
