I was in Sutton Fields pub a couple of years ago and I ask for a Snakebite and the barman didn't have a clue.
The only time I'd be happy to say thank you and good luck to SB would be if he wins us a trophy! Hopefully that chance hasn't passes is by?
Personally I hope that day never comes, I'm maybe a hopeless romantic, and I obviously realise that the game is massively different now due to the astonishing finances involved, however I still harbour hopes that Brucey/City are the new Shankly/Liverpool, or at the very least Clough/Forest. Sometimes a manager just clicks with a club, I'm pretty certain that Brucey didn't expect the ride that he's had so far when he agreed to take over The Mighty Tigers. On that basis I'd like to think that it's not impossible for him to continue onwards and upwards with his startling transformation of our club, and be here until he hands the reins over to his version of Bob Paisley.
Yeah and shanks won a few things with them so I'd take both! But you can't beat having your name on a cup! It's there forever.
This is what I want. It must be happening at a club currently and that no-one realises it's happening. Why not at City. Arguably we are now on to Bruces 3rd team in the time he's been here.
He took a football club from the bottom of the football league, to a new stadium and got them into the Championship, other than that, he did nothing. He had a backer, but that was funding only, all the ideas and work were his, he deserves the respect of every City fan.
More than covered in previous pages i but Pullis or Moyes would surely be Ashleys top2 picks....I do reckon Brucie would jump at the chance if given an opportunity to manage his fave club(who wouldnt) but thanks to Brucie and of course the Allams showing publicly how much they back their manager..we would prob end up with Pullis or dare say it...Moyes?...so i wouldnt panic if he did go..might even be another step up the ladder to greatness.
It's just infuriating reading stuff like the post you quoted. How can it be taboo to dislike someone who says the things Allam has said? It's embarrassing how so many people on here will accept whatever he does and says as long as he spends money. At any other club he'd be hated. You of all people know that Allam is all the things you just said about Ashley. Bruce is a good guy, if he can work with Allam he can work with anyone. And if the twat Pardew can get along with Ashley, it can't be that hard.
Wouldn't panic? Sorry but I would if either of those two were to follow Brucie through the door, over the years both have proved to be defensively minded, first and formost, and the players that are coming through the door right now, the Likes of Ben Arfa, Ramirez, Diame, Robertson and Hernandez would wither and die under either one of those tacticians. If you want solidity and mid table security welcome the likes of Pulis and Moyes all you want, but if you want true entertainment pray that we retain the services of Brucey.
I have not said that he did not achieve and I respect him for it, I simply have a different view of how he did it. I do not hold him in awe.
Without AP rescuing us when he did it would be highly unlikely that we'd be in the position that we are now, we have a lot to be in awe of him for.
