Well, sadly, today was the day for me.
As far as Mr Steve Bruce is concerned, i'm finished.
2 years in a row we have had a ridiculous slump, that the managers lack of tactical nouse, motivational skills and even eye for a players correct position have been the catalyst for.
He's signed players of real quality, yet they don't play for him.
There's no orginization across the back, or the midfield, why hasn't this been worked on?
Only Bardsley and Gyan are prepared to have a shot, players lacking confidence? Yes. Managers job to build them back up? 100%.
I posted an article earlier in the week saying maybe the lack of noise was affecting the team.
Well, the noise was there, an early goal was gifted, yet still the team plays sideways, and the midfield gets nowhere near Gyan and Wellbeck, leaving them crowded out.
We weren't just beaten today, we were outplayed for long periods, an own goal and a screamer paints a false picture, we were never good for 2 goals.
WBA could have had 6, Mignolet made several decent saves.
This is not knee-jerk, i've been Vruceys biggest, or one of his biggest backers throughout.
What matters now is MY club, and for me the time has come to say thank you, and goodnight.
We need a manager of stature who can handle the talented players we now have, and who will spot the glaring gaps in the side, the lack of a left back and left midfielder, the fact that the midfield is lightweight and lacks vision, the fact that 3 of the first choice back 4 are so slow they may as well be ****ing shrubs.
Louis Van Gaal? Ambitious? Yes. But so is the club.
We need to make a change at seasons end, 2 seasons here, plus one at Wigan, Bruce just doesn't have the imagination to progress a club beyond 'upper average'.
Martin O'Neill and Jol read Bruce, certain level, then brick wall, it may be slightly higher than Bruce's barrier, but not high enough.
Van Gaal moulds champions, champions of the highest competitions there are, he is the man.
Remember, he almost came here when he left AZ Alkmaar, if those pesky Germans with their massive football club hadn't poked their noses in.
We could also solve most of our personel issues by 'going dutch'
Feyenoord centre back Ron Vlaar.
PSV left midfielder Balasz Dzudzak (I know he's Hungarian, but he plays in Holland!)
FC Utrecht hitman Ricky van Wolfswinkel (Target man, available)
PSC left back Erik Pieters.
The Dutch are legendary for making and creating footballers, and teams, Louis made Ajax something really incredible, before the millions of the Champions League destroyed the possibility of a home grown team eating from the top platter.
Van Gaal is the man, men.
Mr Bruce, thanks, and **** off.
