AntrimBlack Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 7 hours ago, Grasshopper said: An interesting point. I would have nothing against Bruce being „General Manager“ or DoF if it meant using his experience and advantages for the footballing side of the club. As long as we had a „Coach“ Head Coach or whatever the title is who designated a playing style, picked the tactics and team, Choose player targets and took training (picking his assistants & coaching staff) Bruce is finished as a manager, as an experienced figure at a club no. But dictating the football, well and truly bust. No, no,no. I don't want him in any position in the club after this season. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul33 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Was outstanding in the Sunderland game down here ..... we couldn't contain him ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcRigo82 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I think we will be looking at loans mainly unless the Dr can find a spare million laying around to keep Bruce happy with. I wouldn't trust the idiot Bruce with Monopoly money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adbo9 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I think Grabban is the proverbial "no brainer" - always like him, had a good career with good club My ideal would be loan with a view to a permanent in summer.......... ticks all the boxes 1: Fires us to promotion and becomes a good premier division squad player 2: We dont quite do it, but we will be armed next season with one of the leagues better players 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched him carefully down at our place......He showed much nous in the art of forward line craft.....kept working our defenders. I kept thinking why can't we spot players like that.

Maybe I am wrong......But I can't remember a managers name being mentioned with so many aspects of the club that this guy does. you see if you had of said " I think Solanke would suit US better" I could understand it. This obsession with Bruce is whats forcing some of us to defend him. I don't think that line in the way you have worded it would be rolled out with any other manager.

Well, we didn't do too bad in the summer.....Whelan,Terry, Johnstone. so perhaps like most teams, we can't always get it right. perhaps we can form a league table of how many signings managers get right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you can attract the forwards/Midfield of the top 6 Prem........................... or Wolves ( Just to keep the fire burning) .....most of them do.
