My point is thta he cant seem to build momentum, its either good for a bit and then terrible for a longer, and I and a lot of people dont think he is making much if any progress. Your right on the final league standings, they are true yet sometimes dont reflect the true nature of events in the season and the overall state of the club, players or morale.
 
I for on ehave had enough of him baiting the fans....if you don't like us and our expectations feel free to F**k right off!!!!

I expect - a team to know what they are doing.
I expect - a team that can play together
I expect - a team that gives 100%
I expect - a team that can play footballer

further more

I expect a left winger to play on the wing
I expect a left back to play at left back
I expect a striker to play up front
I expect a team to play in ANY game with at least ONE F**KING STRIKER
I expect when you only have one regular proven forward at the club (and he's a bit iffy about being here) ANOTHER STRIKER TO BE BOUGHT!!!!!

I don't EXPECT Europe

I do EXPECT you to be sacked

Am I really EXPECTING TOO MUCH!!!!!!!
 
Didnt Bruce say that he was aiming for Europe a few seasons ago? Surely that shows some ambition?

He did, now he thinks his home record his ok or something?

IMO when it was clear that he couldn't take us very far, he acted as if we are a bottom half team and that fact should be accepted by the fans. He can **** right off
 
The luck seems to have gone the mags way this season. Maybe Ellis is planning to bring a top manager in maybe ancellotti hopefully. Or there is the great Peter reid, or Steve mclaren ? available!.
 
Chestermackem I think you are absolutley spot on mate -- bigging up the 10th place finish last season didnt really tell the true picture of a pretty poor season- in that you had a 3/4 month shocking spell, lost your talisman and main/omly goal threat. To me finishing below 7th or 8th and finishing 14th is of pretty similar achievemnet level.
As for the 'progress' theorists its a load of twaddle, as was said if lost last game would that have shown the true level of progress? Of course it would.
I cant really agree with Stusafc and dansafcmans opinions-- fans arent looking for top 6 now-- they want signs of 'good' progress i.e. good football, exciting players, and maybe a few goals along the way. He has spent plenty of cash and whats he got apart from nowt much ? The fans are sick of his bullshit, his excuses n digs at the innocent and dont see the squad developing significantly. As for being a mid table club this season I would say even this is only a possibility and not the certainty that the investment demands.
Not winding anyone up just offering a view --no offence meant lads.

Dear god, have to agree with a Mag again! :p
If the Mugs had won their last game wouldn't they have finished 8th?
That would have left us out of this fabled 10th place.

You don't expect much....

good post this one.
 
I think the OP has a very valid point indeed.

For Bruce to say things like 'it's not as if this is a Champions League club...' etc, is farcical.

Should we not dream, hope and wish that we can be?

Were the Toon? Were Leeds? Were Blackburn? Even City.

From Italy this year, Udinese made it on a tiny budget (some wonderful scouting mind).

Take the hope from football, the eternal hope, and where is the love?

If Bruce thinks that we are somehow unworthy of even thinking of this kind of achievement, then maybe he should head back to Wigan, with no disrespect.
 
The man has stated that he doesnt get the "great expectations" the fans have and he goes onto say that some of the players dont understand it either, well guess what Steve if maybe the players you mention and yourself dare to dream and have half as much determination as us lot then we would be a much better club.

We dont want no half arsers coming here with low goals and expectations, we strive for success as should they and you, get a grip man you fat plonker and get some fightiong spirit instead of trying to take the pressure off yourself.

Last season against Chelsea and our strike force of Bent/Gyan/Welbeck/Campbell brought about expectations for this club, what is wrong with expectation? Its your ****ing job to deliver it and failing so far.

Im starting to think InBruceWeTrusted.

Eye mate, time for a new alias methinks. and I suspect youve been thinking along these lines also. for a while now.

Exactly, whats the point if dont believe we can ever win anything in our life time FFS?
