ISMAEL does one

And then he was sacked

 

Who, Dean Smith? Okay, well Smith and Gerrard are better than Bruce so that’s two managers who can do a better job at Villa than Bruce then

 

If I was Bruce I would have called it a day after Newcastle. But I'm not and if he wants another go then good luck to him.
I'm neither happy or unhappy if he does well wherever he goes. Unless its the TWS of course.

 

Do I care. No is the answer.

 

Do you get upset everytime Bruce gets a new club or are you an Albion fan is disguise?

 

Three replies in quick succession. I think you’re the one upset that I criticised Bruce.

 

Roy Hodgson has come out of retirement to manage Watford, I wonder if he's a mercenary too?

 

That's cause I've got nowt to do.
I'm waiting for the tennis to start up.

My point was aimed at managers showing loyalty to clubs. Its a job to them that's all.
We all know the merry go round of Managers of Allerdyce, Bruce, Hodgson, Warnock, Pulis etc but it doesn't seem to worry the owners when they take them on. My view, is if the above want to stay on that roundabout than good luck to them.
Bruce is thick skinned like they all are so he'll be happy for some more employment.
I'd be very surprised if his wife wanted him to carry on (more for his health) but that's another story.

I couldn't give a flying fig what happens to managers or players once they leave Hull City.

 

Maybe that is because he is more demand from clubs wishing to get promoted than other managers?

 

I have. I also told me that they could sack me if they liked as I approached retirement (it would have made no difference to my pension). Very satisfying.

 

Example I always use in that regard is the Newcastle side that won the championship with 100 points plus. Our squad was better than that.

 

I'll always love brucie for what he did for us but let's be fair his best attributes were man management. The football at times was very turgid.

 

I don’t see why. Of all the clubs he’s managed, he only got us and Birmingham promoted. Warnock has a better record for getting teams promoted.

 

That's great.

 

Granted, there are exceptions to the rule.

 

Guess Warnock must be a mercenary too then.

 

He is a bit, yeah. Though I don’t think he’d accept the Wednesday job if approached for it.

 

They are just playing their trade. I don't get this mercenary bit. He will get a buzz from getting promoted or avoiding relegation.

 

Turgid can be my word of the day.
I'll let you know tomorrow how many times I get to use it today.
I'm upto 2 at the minute and both for the Philip we buy any car dot com advert.
If that Lingo guy comes on later that'll be another 10.
I'm gonna be busy.
