So if the ownership thing had been sorted we'd be actively looking to get rid? thats fans as well as owners? I'd want no part of that. We all moan and call players ****s for leaving clubs for more money, a better deal. All mercenaries etc etc Yet we have a bloke who's done nowt but be positive about the team the area the club. Widely respected within the game by ex pros's and current players. The type of bloke who want the right type of players here and yet we should be getting rid. People like Guardiola who only wants to stay 3 years tops. So no emotion, just a job and move on. Its the modern way i guess but i want no part of it.
Are you talking about the same guy who has expressed a desire to leave us to manage England if he got asked, has moaned that he'll never get offered a big job, and was pretty heavily linked to the Villa job while we were fighting for promotion? That manager?
People who claimed to have spoken to Bruce privately about it. Bruce is being interviewed for the England job in the next few days as well, a job he's been gagging for. If the FA are halfway interested he'll be off in a flash after complaining today that the club isn't letting him spend enough to keep us up. People who bang on about him being loyal really don't have a clue.
Stan Collymore for one. Did you seriously miss the spate of news stories late last season suggesting he was speaking to people about how keen he was to take over at Villa?
Which people spoke to Bruce privately about the Villa job and where you privy to these private conversaions ? also can you elaborate on how you know personally that Bruce isn't loyal to his employees ? Bruce isn't being interviewed for the England job either. Todays circus kicked off because Alan Shearer wrote in his newspaper column that the FA should consider managers like Steve Bruce. Alan Shearer who last week threw his own name in the hat for the job.
You're right, Bruce wants to stay here until he retires. In fact all his jobs before now were just padding his CV until he could land that elusive hull city gig.
Bruce himself admits he couldn't be arsed staying on next season if we were championship. What a loyal troop he is!
After that interview, I can see Bruce getting sacked anyway if the Allams stay. Barmby said less than that and got the boot.
Nobody does, except of course the potential buyers, that they're undoubtedly pissing off hugely at the moment, however no one tells them how to run their business.
