To be fair to him (with us anyway) he had a yearly rolling contract. Which kept his severance compo at a years salary. No idea how much West brom has to pay him. Surprised they binned him tbh. I dont know who they can get who is better. Its a pretty small and unimportant club. Dont know which other proven Championship managers they think they can get. edit: Carlos Corberan I guess?

Ingram85 Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 He’s not a nice guy. That’s his media facade. He’s a massive word removed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a massive word removed. Without going down the rabbit hole, he stopped a lot of rot at Villa (I think RDM would have had us in a relegation scrap) bought in Terry and got Grealish playing. (He also saw exactly what McCormack was and I think he binned Gabby.) Yes, I agree with all the bad stuff, but for the above, the 1st away win in 18 months, and showing up when BOTH of his parents had died, puts some credit in the bank with me. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do with Villa. I’m talking about his side hustle of being a slum landlord. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pas5898 Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 (edited) When do West Brom lose their parachute payments. Promotions becomes infinitely more difficult without a financial advantage. Bruce has really dropped the ball with this one. Edited October 12, 2022 by pas5898 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 22 hours ago, daft said: Honestly, the biggest crime in that revelation is the sentence structure. Should be straight to the gallows for that. Journalists love to try to cram as much information as possible into absurdly long non-defining relative clauses. If a reader gets to the end of the extra info and then needs to go back to the start of the sentence to remember how it started, that's a problem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 As soon as he’s gone the boggies win away at a decent Reading side pushing for play off place and they themselves are now out of the relegation zone. He really is a crap manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 (edited) Another win for West Brom. FIFA should issue him a lifetime ban from coaching 3 of his last 4 teams have thrived by sacking him Edited January 2, 2023 by Zatman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted January 2, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 2, 2023 West Brom have won 9 league games out of 13 since Bruce was sacked. With a 2.08 PPG. They won 12 times in the 29 games before he was appointed. With a 1.55 PPG. Bruce managed 7 wins in the 30 matches he was in charge for. With a 1.1 PPG. Sublime stuff. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
