It was SB that got that squad through the front door. His name and standing got a fair few to sign. He wanted to add other players that took other clubs up, but we couldn't afford them at the time. Monk and Sherwood were both sacked. Also, it's simplistic to blame his style for failing to get promotion. We were two wins off it, with a record points total. I can't see the validity of some arguments, although I agree that sometimes a change works, and sometimes it is just a Dowie moment. Armchair experts are always right, though, and we should employ most of this board who would undoubtedly do better. Like the ones who asked for Diame to be dropped as he was useless. Managers take the risks, pundits get to second guess.
It's one thing getting the squad through the door but you have to get that squad you assemble playing football, that is sadly something he couldn't do last season in the premier league. I just feel that a change is needed or we may well find ourselves in the same position at the end of next season and relegated. A new manager doesn't guarantee anything but new ideas and more importantly a new style of football is needed desperately.
I'm not sure we are that far off, and not sure new ideas would make a damn bit of difference. We will always struggle to attract players, and have to be realistic at how we deal with that. New ownership is the issue, as it's the fans that are the problem at the moment (lack of support). I'm not blaming the fans, but it's the atmosphere that is strangling us, not the manager.
Philip Buckingham@PJBuckingham Steve Bruce met with Ehab Allam today and it's largely as you were. Bruce will head off on holiday on Friday to weigh up his options #hcafc
And when he announces his decision, his elaboration will give some clarity on where things are going... Hopefully.
OLM this is one of the ones that seem similar to other posters like Chezzy Ben pointed out, like I said not bothered by multi-accounters or whatever
That post you wrote reads exactly like somebody else who posts here, probably coincidence but who knows
Exactly. How silly. Keep posting! Big coincidence that the other chap is on here posting at exactly the same time too
Bothered enough to say it, but wimp enough to hide from explaining it. Well done. Look forward to more blather! You should work for the clubs media department?
Yeah I forgot about it really, fairly ironic that this post cropped up the page after on the same thread. Maybe he is, maybe he isn't who cares
