Ok he’s now got a plan B because he’s seen Gareth Southgate do it on the telly. Seriously the only reason he’s still in a job is because we’ve been skint. Just remember the play off final, or the botching of second place post a fluke against Wolves. Infact read the Steve Bruce thread after Jan this year. Dog shit football from a dog shit manager, **** it roll the Dice Ooops I read it wrong, I agree with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrUnKeNbUm Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Christ on a bike! This would be worse than when we appointed Di Matteo! Fingers crossed this is a load of rubbish and we aren't seriously going to appoint a manager who has zero managerial experience?! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

praisedmambo Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I'm on the fence each way but I can't believe how certain people are that he would be a disaster. With what's happened this week I'd definitely allow myself a little hope. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I’m more concerned It’s too close to the start of the season. Not too bothered about his lack of experience. I still think we will keep Bruce though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's promotion then I agree Henry (or any other manager) will fail this season. Is it relegation then I doubt it will happen under Henry or Bruce. Is it to rebuild with the look of giving it a go at promotion in a season or 2? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugger it, I’m sold He did a cracking job with Arsenal defence. only conceded the 51 goals last season and went about 5 months without an away win and some defensive shambles Edited July 23, 2018 by Zatman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 In fairness it’s widely known Wenger didn’t allow anyone to do anything and he was in total control so I wonder how much input he actually had. Still, I’m not convinced by this story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumerican Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Could be a disaster or we could become the French speaking version of Portohampton. It will be interesting to see . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think he will come in, loose a couple of games, slag the players off in the press for not being fit enough , fall out with a couple of senior pro's - tell us all he is 'changing the ethos' - all the bad elements of Garde, Sherwood, RDM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jacketspuds Posted July 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2018 Will we get promoted with Bruce in charge next season? Unlikely. Would we get relegated with Henry in charge next season? Unlikely. Could Henry surprise us and set the club on the right path to getting an identity that we could carry forward beyond his tenure. Not just shifting from one style to the next with each manager? Possibly. Could Bruce? No **** chance. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holteend1982 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Only positive from Henry could be the young lads we get from arsenal on loan other than that I'm not overly impressed. If he does get the job though I will be 100% behind him the whole way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
