Some say "no news is good news". Well, it isn't really. Good news would be that the sale is done. "No news" just means there isn't any news, and in this case can be taken as being there's no bad news at least, as, if the sale had fallen through we would be hearing about it. It's as frustrating as hell. I heard in good faith from a credible source that it would be done in November. Unfortunately it didn't happen. Trying to put 2 and 2 together, it seems that it is at least ongoing as opposed to collapsed. But with each day that now passes, then concerns grow. Wasn't 10th December touted as a deadline? But that too could be rubbish. Who knows.
When you say Bruce can we insert any manager in here or is it solely Steve Bruce's fault? How much money do you think Marco Silva would have wanted had he stayed
You're picking out his only bad stat, which is rather sad. He got 29 points from 22 games, if he'd managed the same points over a season, we'd have finished on 50 points, which would have put us 8th in the Premier League. He was 9th in the Premier League when he was sacked by Watford. He's currently 7th in the Premier League. He was great for us, he gave us belief and had us playing some great football, we were never going to be more than a stepping stone for a manager like him.
Yes, of course. Everton’s owners must be deluded. I mean they’re only sitting 7th in the premier league where they could have had the currently unemployed Steve Bruce who’s such a great manager he got sacked for having the club with the highest budget in the division by quite some margin languishing in 13th place in the championship.
I look forward to you never picking out anyone's bad stats and only quoting their good ones when you don't rate them. I liked Silva but he was never going to be able to carry out his ideas with his own staff at our club.
So the fact that the Premier League is a massive money pit that consumes all the money that Sky TV and the likes hand over, is Steve Bruce’s fault. That is demonstrably and patently ridiculous. BTW the final straw that saw Bruce leave was the refusal to spend £2m on Nick Powell. Hardly the profligate splurging that you appear to think he was capable of. Did Steve Bruce make some bad signings? Yes, all managers do, Guardiola downwards. Did Steve Bruce make some amazingly good signings that more than paid for themselves after relegation in 2016? Absolutely 100% yes. This is just ridiculous now Obi. I’m leaving you to your bizarre delusion.
My bizarre delusion is straight from the Adam Pearson Nicky Barmby book of running a football club. Assem Allam didn't want to run Hull City that way and he got rid of them. In their place came Steve Bruce who was more than happy to break the wages cap and spend Assem's money.
And Brighton bid 10m for him last season that was accepted..... Glad we dodged that bullet. You win promotion to the Premier League and you have to invest, if we invested in Bruce and backed him we could have stayed in the Premier League, the Allams could quite easily have sold us for £150m which would have more than covered any debts to them. If you don't invest when you win promotion you get relegated as we did, we didn't give ourselves a chance until Silva came in. It's ridiculous how this thread has got derailed by one persons opinion. He literally has no proof with regards to Ehab saving us. As it is equally possible Ehab has ruined us by not backing the most successful manager in our history, and giving him the money to keep us in the Premier League. It is a completely hypothetical argument.
Where's your footer thing gone? As you used to say over half a billion pounds through their hands and we are where we are today 63 million in debt, no ground, poor training facilities, a squad not worth a great deal and struggling in the Championship. How does this compare to similar teams to us? Did we buy more expensive players, more of them or pay them more.
He did and if it is "D-Day", I'm expecting the worst kind of news. Oh and Obi, you've been suckered something rotten. Proper dry ****ed.
