It's like I said, I doubt Bruce was delighted with the Ashley flophouse. All he's likely said is positive things; amazing you're here, can't wait for a brighter future, etc. He's not a complete idiot, he knows his time's up and he won't be given an open chequebook.
If we're in talks with top end folk like Favre, Conte, Jardim, Fonseca, Ten Hag, or whatever, you want to get it right. They'll want to get it right. Conte isn't desperate to be here for Sunday, he'd be interested in a contract that probably has a ****ing tonne of requirements, most of which we'd negotiate.
I think, objectively, it's the right thing to do. If the players had a massive issue with Bruce, he'd be gone. Clearly he's severely limited, on both tactics and fitness, but that isn't going to be solved chucking him out. I don't think Jones is much good either, tbh.
I'm interested to see if there's anyone watching on from the stands on Sunday, i.e. Campos or Rangnick.
