Bruce

As long as you sign on the dotted line tomorrow that is.

 

Keeping Wigan in the PL is an achievement for any manager so 3 years running is excellent, did very well at Brum, less so Slumberland but he's always going to be a Geordie and theres always a club you don't belong..

 

Lets hope the flood lights don't go off, or he might be 'Dancing In The Dark'.

 

Wonder if he's got a Brucie bonus up his sleeve?????
If he get us promoted I'm sure he'll be the one getting the bonus like.

 

I think what Bruce has is an eye for a good player, MT & FC!

 

I wouldn't mind getting merged.

 

he isn't alec ferguson. and nor is anybody else!

 

I said previously when all the Bruce speculation kicked off, how I'm close to a couple of Wigan season ticket holders and they were stunned that Martinez was being linked to Liverpool. They said, and I quote, "What's he done? We were better under Bruce and he spent less money".

I genuinely think, maybe other than Mad Mick, he's as good as we could have hoped for.

 

So did we and before him.

 

People go on about how much he has spent... but they fail to account for the fact that he's made a hell of a lot as well, and at clubs like Sunderland, they'd just got the big money backers in, and he was as good as told to write his own cheques.

 

Precisely. I was told by Wigan fans (havent checked this) that Boselli is their record signing by Martinez and he hardly ever played for them. It seems to me that Bruce was better when he worked within a tighter budget.

Never understood what singing voice had to do with it. Some of the very best front men 'couldnt sing for ****'.

Still, I dont like Springsteen either.

 

Maybe he's nothing special now but in 1975 he was fantastic when he made his breakthrough.

 

In the mid-70s this guy was the best.

I'm starting to come round to Steve Bruce as manager. I think it would mean our best players wouldn't leave.

 

The one thing I', looking forward to is who he could bring to the club. He has contacts, he is well known in the game and I'm guessing he will have asked for financial backing (I can only assume that the Allams will give him a lot of money to make Barmby's story sound even more like lies and for them to become popular again).

Whether he does the job on the field with the right formation and right team, we shall see but I'm expecting him to be able to attract some good players.

 

If he could get Vito and MT that would be a good start.

Regarding MT, if we are talking about going for promotion we can't rely on two CBs not getting injured. We are pretty thin everywhere. In midfield and up front we have names but we don't really want to play them.

 

Tbh I think we shouldn't focus on MT, I don't think he's that brilliant anymore, sure he's playing a league above but considering his wages I'd rather go for an upcoming defender.
