I want Bruce to stay and be successful, I think what he has done for this club is brilliant, bringing in good players, and once gelled I think will make an amazing team However unless he sorts out the obvious scoring problem I cannot see him being here for much longer So just looking at options of who could be other managers: Arsene Wenger - Just lost by a significant amount, and I dont believe has much longer Ian Holloway - I thoroughly thought was unlucky with his Blackpool Campaign and he likes to play attacking football Martin O'Neill - There has been shouts for this manager, however his consistency of leaving clubs whenever something doesnt go his way puts me off (Let him off for the Celtic one like) Any other potential managers if the worst is to happen ? (I DO BELIEVE IN BRUCE, just looking at something that I dont believe he has heard of , a plan B)
Mark Hughes - Good Manager who I dont believe was given long enough at Man City and probably would of done it, but lets face it who couldnt with that amount of money, and I think will do well with Fulham Owen Coyle - I dont believe would leave Bolton, hes transformed them into a very strong team if you ask me Rafa Benitez - someone has mentioned him as he currently wants back into the prem, however I am not so keen as I thought he was losing it (similar to that of bruce) towards the end of his liverpool days
Martin O'Neil all day long. The man would take this group of players and make them a team, On his appointment the stadium would be full every week and the fans would have a feel good factor back. Years ago we missed out on Brian Clough, we could do the same with MON..hope the board don't make the same mistake
Would love to have Mark Hughes, or even Ian Holloway....at least we'd see attacking football! MON....would be GUTTED if we got him. Vastly overrated and for the life of me I just can't see why his name keeps cropping up. In my eyes he's about as good as Gordon Strachan, with a similar ammount of success. Oh yeah, he was a big fan of Charlie Hurley but IS NOT a Sunderland fan. Putting all this to one side however, Steve Bruce is still our manager and therefore will get my full support until someone else comes in. Heres hoping for another successful season under Brucie!.....KTF.
