I think the last 7 or so managers have shown that constantly changing managers doesn't help. I think this season will finish around 12th. Christmas is about right, or whatever point is halfway through the season. Pedigree means nothing, some managers fit one team, some managers don't. Even the best managers have failed at some teams. On the pitch, based on player selection, based tactics, based on signings, based on subs. Every single thing he has done so far for us, has been wrong. Would be lunacy to keep him.

Demitri_C Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 Bruce did so well ... Then made done absolutely fatal errors letting gollini go and replacing him with the most hopeless goal keeper I've ever seen lets Rudy go and takes 3 weeks to replace him brings in a hopeless number 2 lets tishbola go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I know this club badly needs stability, and i dont care how many managers we've hired and fired in the past few years; no manager can survive this run of results when that much money has been sent. No club in the world can put up with form like this. We're supposed to be the big fish in this league, i could probably put up with mid table and the gelling/re-building excuses that go along with it, but to be in a relegation fight after cherry picking and overpaying for players all season in unacceptable. We're just getting worse after what was a brilliant start under Bruce points-wise. When theres no sign of improvement, your methods and decisions are clearly wrong. Gotta go. Rowett in!

NeilS Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I wanted to give him time, but the way we are heading cannot be ignored. You need to earn your time and chances. We will get slaughtered in the press for sacking him, but that is football these days. Top teams would not put up with results like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 (edited) Has to go now. I don't know who was responsible for the fm signings but they have to go too. Worryingly I don't think we are any better run now than we were under Lerner. Edited February 14, 2017 by jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I am happy I am not in Tony's boots. He has invested so heavily and obviously wants so stability, but Bruce isn't giving himself any reason at all to keep him on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Dogg Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Has to go I'm afraid. Johnstone was a woeful signing, he has absolutely no consistency in selection or tactics, the midfield is now unbalanced the other way and the team is devoid of fight or commitment.

We look even worse than we did under di Matteo. completely unacceptable. He won't be sacked yet. Newcastle will be nail in coffin when they destroy us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinker Posted February 14, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted February 14, 2017 No benefit is changing managers now, the season is over , we won't go down, we will grab a couple more wins and the teams around us are as shit as us. If we did change manager now it would a very difficult start to whoever came in, they would be on a hiding to nothing. May as well back the team and hope Bruce staggers upon a winning formula that will save some more embarrassing defeats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
