Just when the sun has been shining.... His interviews are excruciating and he is pretty average as a manager. Doesn't he like to spend big and buy tosh.
Realistically the dinner lady is probably the best option out there, but I really can't stand the ****.
It doesn't matter what his win rate is, we haven't even spoken to him, it's another Burnsy 'my sources tell me' whopper.
In general, big names become big names because they're successful. I don't listen to stats like that - it varies too much over divisions and squad quality. Ie 60% is enough to win the Championship, but it could be with a team like Newcastle, or it could be Bristol City and 22% could be enough to keep a team in the Premier League, but again, it could be with Newcastle, or it could be, say.. Derby when they had that awful season not so long ago.
Mike White said he had spoken to him and the club have approached his representatives, SB not getting drawn in tho. Guess sauces are rare these days as the club seem to have worked out where the leaks are from.
As I said on the other thread, Bruce hasnt made a comment on this when asked by Chalky. Surely if he wasnt even a bit interested he'd have flat stated it. I'd like him and for those against, seriously, this time last week we thought we had Kevin Blackwell.....
Yes, I heard it and unless I fell asleep momentarily I didnt hear them say they have approached his represetatives.
Apart from the second line (Barmby would have been the best option to stick with) I think this is a good point. The names that have been mentioned are all pretty dire, there are the odd couple (McCarthy and Davies) who would be good but are tossers and probably wouldn't come anyway, then there are a load who don't sound very good at all and Bruce whilst I don't like him is probably the best of a bad bunch. In fact this post puts it even better, thirded.
Apart from Mad Mick, sadly Steve Bruce is the best option for Nick Barmby. Not my choice at all but a better option than many that have been mentioned. A few pluses for Bruce getting the job though.
1-3, 2-7, 1-4 - they are pretty telling odds. I dont recall any as short as that for a new manager being wrong before....
