Steve Bruce back to 4/1, they dont appear to have a clue which is strange because i always thought they were pretty much spot on
I'll answer that!!! The reason is that if you go back, it's because you were successful first time round, otherwise why go back. Because you succeeded first time round, second time round acquires additional expectation and consequent pressure. This together with a completely different set of variables means, statistically, that going back rarely succeeds.
I was thinking the very same, nothing of any solidity anywhere. Even those normally in the know, don't know!
David Burns ‏@bbcburnsy Steve Bruce speculation growing. My contact who said no in week is now indicating it may be a goer!
AP and NB are keeping schtum, Watkiss is out looking for a new job(Wigley is almost certainly doing the same) and being out of season nothing is dripping out via the sponsors either, short of getting a lift somewhere with Ehab, it's impossible to find out what's going on at the moment.
I've just tweeted a question to him asking whether his "contact" was the same person that fcuked up the "Allam Deal Fallen Thru" announcement he made 18 months ago!
P.s if it is him he's going to beneficial for Chester, Hobbs and Cooper's development. There were also alot worse managers been mentioned on here, season before last he finished 10th in Premier league with Sunderland ffs. I know he spent a fair whack of money but a pretty decent achievement nonetheless. Obviously he won't have anyway near the money he had at Sunderland, he also got Brum promoted The Man U connection is obviously a bonus. I'll give him a chance anyway.
I might be missing something here, but we wanted a high profile manager who is well respected, a good past behind them and assumed we wouldn't get one, like normal, because, we're not a big club, not attractive etc. If we do get Bruce, surely that ticks all the boxes from the majority of fans??
He comes has a pair with Titus Bramble But a sound Manager could be good for you? Has good contacts to bring in quality loans if needed.
