Will be interesting to see who is happy with Bruce leading us in to the new season. I gave him to the end of the season before I judged, but that time has now come and for me, the negatives outweigh the positives. Yes, we had injuries that no one could have foreseen and that certainly didn't help our cause. But....quite clearly Bruce didn't have all players on side, some of the formations and tactics were catastrophic to say the least at times, and some of our signings were not too clever. Add to that Rosenior, who was ideal for next season, and McShane getting dumped, and Junior getting a new contract, I'm not sure I have the confidence in Bruce leading the next campaign. We definitely have the ability to bounce straight back up, especially if we hold on to a few key players. I'm airing towards Phelan to take us back up. If Bruce is the one to lead us into next season, I'll support him 100%.
I know OLM, he would have gone by now had he not. I'm just interested in other peoples views and there's not a lot else going on at the moment.
How long do you think he'll get OLM? Will the Allams review it in December to give a new manager the jan transfer window
If we're way off the pace in December I think he'll be gone, but if we're competitive and in the top half he'll stay.
I think a lot will depend on what we`re left with after the Summer transfers have ceased, it may be that they stick with Brucie wanting him to guide the club through a season of transition if we lose all our rated players. They came very quickly to his defence after relegation quoting bad luck with injuries to key players at key times of the season, I personally think unless we`re struggling down the bottom they will be loyal to him.
Can you imagine the hoopla over signing someone based off a video game? Maybe Marky Mark would play me in the movie version, he did ok in that one where philly fans tried out for the Eagles.
This guy got a managers job because of his skill playing football manage game http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...Manager-Vugar-Huseynzade-got-FC-Baku-job.html
The Allam's openly admit that they know nothing about football. If they did, Bruce would have been out on his arse before Christmas because we were nailed on to go down otherwise. Yet perversely, despite spending such huge amounts on transfers and wages and still relegating us, he now seems more secure in his position than ever as he is apparently "the best person to take us back up". As someone has said above, he ran out of ideas long ago. His tenure has gone completely stale.
