    It is because we know what we could have had.

    You know what. It makes you wonder if Ashley gets some form of kick out of the financial gamble of it all?

    I can't see it, we've only won 2 out of the last 18 and our most influential players are out for the next few games.
    Oh yes.....we've also got an imbecile for a manager.

    I think he does. No responsible owner would run us like this.

    And yet we're still not in the bottom 3. We have a game in hand.

    Those players currently missing will be available for around 8 of those matches.

    Yes Bruce is a turd but hopefully the players are listening to Jones.

    he’s a nice guy and he always highlights a load of positives.

    Bru
    Bruce's points tally and ability to shamelessly hide poor performance behind it along with his excuses and the medias support had kept him in a job until it was too late...

    I agree you hire one of the worst managers in Premier league history and this was always going to happen.... The club, he media just simply wouldn't listen... They just looked at the table and said they're 12th what's wrong with them..

    This is the key point. If we get relegated at least we have lots of positives to recall.

    I'd love to think you'll be right, however there's no real indication that the players are capable of following Jones's instructions if indeed cabbage heed is letting him give any. I've seen no evidence to suggest we can beat anyone based in recent games.

    Nah he just kept looking at the table and listened to the bullshit excuses from Bruce his team and the media, but then BOOM a week later the gap was gone, we had 3 players missing and reality kicked in...

    It took Bruce a whole season to dismantle Rafa.
    Hopefully the players will be quicker to dismantle Bruce

    The plum still lives in Cheshire. Someone needs to brick his car when he leaves training.
