    :emoticon-0181-fubar@magdad You know I told you what the issue was why Bruce wasn’t sacked right. Remember contract complications.

    Doesn’t make sense him being in position does it. Or does it.

    :1980_boogie_down:

    Just saying.

    You on about that unsackable clause? I'm still not convinced. I think its more to do with lack of coaches till someone agrees to takeover. I could be wrong. I just don't see how someone as brutal in business as Ashley puts that clause in or agrees to that clause mate.

    Got to remember this is MR ZERO HOUR CONTRACTS we're talking about.

    What is he doing, like? Wandering around Forest Hall with a Greggs sausage roll in his hand muttering to himself? Surely he's not in front of the ****ing media??? I mean, wtf are the owners doing if he's still ****ing talking in public?

    If we are still in the premiership the contract gets auto renewed. A perpetual contract: yes.

    It suited Bruce and his team. And it suited Ashley.

    17th was the target each year. Nothing more nothing less.

    The longer it drags on. The more I worry about Amanda’s credentials and what the plan is.

    I know there is a contract complication (Bruce) but that can easily be fixed if desired.

    I think given the “heat” with the role and the uncertainty because of our position it is putting even second tier level candidates off.

    They just haven't got the right guy to agree yet mate.

    They didn't have the luxury of pre planning

    It’s either Gerrard or Lampard

    But - and this is important - many managers do not and cannot talk to us whilst a manager remains in situ. This is where some of this logic of "right guy" is bullshit. If they want to talk to Gerrard, they have to make it official via Rangers. Same for Emery, Rafa, etc. So to make it official, to make that approach, there has to be an available job.

    Gerrard can - at best - say "no comment". Anything else and the club and the bloke himself could be in a ****load of trouble.

    The fact there seems to be no sign of Bruce being sacked today is HUGELY troubling.

    Fine... I'm cool even with Bruce temporarily Everything about nufc is temporary and over time the club won't resemble the same club.. It'll slowly be rebuilt.. The best they can get in every aspect and area of the club.

    Maybe they don't want anyone that's working?

    The list is just a guess

    They didn't have the luxury or pre planning and they haven't just put their feet under the table at a subway franchise

    It's all going to be done properly

    They can speak to an agent to sound them out mate. They just can't hold direct talks is my understanding of that.

    I would imagine there would have been a board meeting today and Steve will be summoned for his P45 tomorrow.

    Gerrard appointed Wednesday. Would be my guess.

    Bit concerning how this “50m” in January keeps popping up. Ain’t enough in my opinion.

    A few good loans is easily achieved and its just the amount to get us 17th.

    We'll not get any top players while facing relegation.. Its a few players in who can do a job this Jan.

    We are where we are! We can do things my way now.
