Didn't want to come, wasn't 'interested' last week, will jump ship when a better offer comes along, mediocre to crap manager. BRUCE OUT !
Agreed. Mad Mick was my first choice so happy that Bruce as my 2nd choice looks to be the man. I just hope his time out of the game has improved his training methods. Ball work instead of endless running and running. No wonder Turner for one had so many knee problems. Indeed. Most of the names filled me with complete dread. At least Bruce has a good proven history and it also maintains the Man Utd links. Hiopefully stronger than ever now. The Allams have to give Bruce a good budget. No way will trying to do it on the cheap impress anyone. Bruce just needs to add to what we already have at the club come July 1st. imo. ie. Vito - Elden - Gerrard would set the club back no more than £1m maybe less. To be honest i dont see Turner leaving Sunderland this summer. If MT sees out his contract 2012/13 season then we can get him for nowt next summer. Anthony Gerrard is a FREE agent now so he would be my No.1 choice for sure. I like the way the silence has been deafening. Much better than the crazy days of Dufferman and Brown. Until the ink is dry though there is no news. Who wouldn't want out of that assylum though ? Utter madness and Blackburn could well struggle next season.imo. Bruce played both 4-4-2 and also 4-5-1. I dont see why much will or should change. All that needs improving on the field is the goals for. Now for another goal scorer please ? So far not many have shown much interest which surprises me. But Rodallega will ebnd up in the PL or abroad. imo. Oh no, Please Noooooooooooooooooo. Surely the club will still go for Vito and Elden especially if Gary Walsh stays as GK coach ? Well IF Bruce does come and then go he will have been doing a great job here and it will be far easier to get a replacement in. I dont see Bruce jumping ship that early as he needs a promotion on his CV after his sacking. Sadly that ship has sailed, but it should still be well tied to the quayside. imo also. How about Charlton Athletic @ Home on August 18th ? No tv - full house and a good home win to start us off with ? Blackpool away on B/H monday sounds good though ? Yes to Turner next summer but noway Campbell..... ever. imo. Why the need to sell Chester ? Unless Sunderland sell him cheap imo Turner will see out his contract. Why do we ? Just asking like.
Agreed. What people seem to overlook is that Campbell signed for Sunderland over us purely because it was him rather than Brown. Now I'm not saying this means he will come back, just that it's reasurring that players think highly of him and would want to sign for him.
Is that true? The higher wages, the bigger club and a better chance of being in the premier league 1/2/3 years down the line had nothing to do with his decision?
MATT DEAN sportseditor of Humberside radio has just said on the Burnsie show that......... He expects a press conference tomorrow-Friday to unveill Bruce.
Bruce IN ! All the **** about him jumping ship can or could apply to any manager or player on the planet.. Course your not being serious
Great appointment if true, well done the allams on showing ambition aaaaaannnnnnd getting the business side of things sorted be interesting to see what bruce thinks of our current squad, and who he intends on bringing in. iiiiff appointed of course
Are you totally mad or what ? ffs, get over Campbell. He is history thankfully. Only because England were struggling for strikers. FC would not get a look in when everyone is fit and available.
Campbell probably wouldn't get a look in with England at the moment, I'd agree with that. He has, however, got the potential to be knocking on the door regarding the England squad in the near future so he isn't going to be dropping down to the Championship. I appreciate you haven't said he would but some have ( jokingly????) implied a move could be on the cards should Bruce be our next manager. I say 'should' because until he's signed up I'm still weary, very weary.
