A big fat NO. Just another relegation for Ashley to add to his collection, and this time he can he can't be accused of not giving a new manager enough time, as Bruce will have been there the whole season and have the blame all on him.
Pretty much this. Bruce is purely MA puppet. To the wider population MA comes out with integrity somehow. He just says “I gave Steve a chance, I gave him funds, I rewarded his loyalty, it’s all Steve’s fault!” Steve is the fall guy and Ashley becomes the victim. He then blames relegation on the failed takeover and the damage caused by the PL. Arbitration becomes irrelevant.
Two full seasons which should have given him time to get rid of the dead wood,I may be wrong but probably half the team got relegated before with us which begs the question if they were ****e then why are they still here?
