    Quite simple... do you want him OUT now or are you happy for him to remain IN?

    be made votes public so we can filter out the pesky Mackem votes.

    He needs to be given a new 20 year contract right now, clearly the best manager we've ever had.

    Thought he was a useless wonky nosed duffer that got the boot from the mackems and wasn't even any good in the championship.....but watching this masterclass today, we clearly have a genius on our hands. John Carver said he was the best manager in the premiership, and we all laughed, we have the REAL THING now!

    Wanted to give him a chance but after today, got to say Out - no plan, no tactics, nothing...

    Problem is we need a proper owner who is excited about owning a fantastic club with a brilliant fan base. Until Ashley is gone we will never get a quality manager again. I know that if I am applying for a new job the 1st thing I would do is find out who I'm going to be working for and are they some one I am happy to work WITH. There has got to be a football centered vision from the top and a plan to implement in place.

    You would say OUT but Ashley won’t sack him because that’s an admission of his stupid ****ty appointment being the catastrophic mistake we knew it was in the first place.
    So l expect Ashley to stick with Bruce long after he should have given him the boot.
    Also if Bruce was as good as it got, then who would replace him? Nobody wants this thankless task.
    Jeeze, it really is dire right now and Bruce is clueless

    Knee jerk reaction = out.
    Long term plan = out.
    From prior to appointment = out.

    I'd love for it to work for him, he's a nice enough bloke and a fan too, however it's just to big a job for him.

    We're not organised and resiliant to break down, but neither are we free flowing and creating chances. None of Leicester's goals were great, we just lacked the ability to stop them - literally like a hot knife through some pre-melted butter!!

    I'm afraid to say it, but as poor as Bruce is, not many manager's could come in and actually get this squad doing any better... And I guarantee they aren't capable of playing any better brand of football. It actually bores me watching them fanny around before the inevitable long ball.

    This is serving to highlight that Pouchy was wrong, Rafa was doing a cracking job keeping us in the division.

    Thing is with Rafa he was smart enough to play the cards he was dealt. We haven't got the players in forward positions who are confident enough in possession to out play teams.

    Joelinton looks appalling. If memory serves Rafa didn’t rate him any higher than £20m? Or 2/3 of a Perez.

    I see some value in the fact he does seem to offer something as a target man. Absolutely shocking purchase for the outlay though <laugh>

    He’s struggling big time, he needs to go.

    If he stays past Christmas then we know MA hasn’t got an issue with being relegated and that he genuinely has no plans on selling up.

    I do feel sorry for Bruce but this job at this time is clearly too much for him.

    He appointed Bruce as a good manager to get us out of the championship.
    Ashley is a proper ****.

    out for me and its not something I wanted to be saying, but history speaks volumes and so far all I see is a side getting worse and worse .. I'd sack him after we lose to man united and Chelsea and bring in litteraly anyone that understands the modern game and how to play football.

    Ashley will not sack him even if we go down .

    remember he said he doesn't think the fans know what they've got in bruce

    Problem is, and demonstrated clearly in the summer hunt for Rafa’s replacement, who will come in.

    Pointless sacking Bruce and replacing him with Bruce II.
