Oi French Letter - At least your replies proved the rationale for my OP. I wanted to spark off a discussion about where we are now/ what's to be done/ etc. So thanks, old buddy..... (And to CityCalv, too!)
before everyone starts on about what a waste of money he was, look at simmo. Just how long did it take him to find his scoring boots? And now he bangs them in for fun. I am genuinly worried about the Allams, Beryl was brought in to get promotion. What if we dont? he is building a fantastic team far better than NB or NP could ever dream of. I hope that prozzy doesnt take as long as simmo to bed in. if we miss out by finishing 7th or we lose in the playoffs - how many of you think SB will still be here for next season?
One thing we do not want to do is turn into a club who when their manager doesn't succeed after one season they get the sack. We're only 9 games into the season there is no point worrying now about "What if we don't get promotion?" Give Brucey and the boys time, and if we don't quite make it this season, we will only imporve the next season as our sqaud is young. Got to remember the mess we was in when the Allams took over, and remember all they have done for the club, the amount of clubs that come down from the PL in the situation we was in and just go down and down is unbelievable, so lets be thankful we have been saved and are now in an excellent position to move forward and we will, so lets just wait until at least January to judge where we are at.
I'd have preferred us to keep Barmby as manager but even so some of you need to stop over-reacting to losing a few games and give Steve Bruce a chance
It's obvious - read your own post. NB failed (the Allams) and got the sack (is one interpretation of what happened).
So you're advocating giving him a chance despite him being a "tactically clueless goon" - your words not mine
We were told he 'fell out' with the Allams. By speaking to the media. But what lay behind his grievance and their response?
Me, Bruce got a three year contract with the aim to get City promoted I don't think this needs to happen in the first year to keep the owners happy. I think the general consencus between supporters is that the football is better to watch I think the Allams will appreciate this and will give him time.
