Have the owners even tried to get Favre, for example? What was the thinking behind cutting Bruce but having a) no plan, and b) leaving his assistants?
I was happy yesterday, we finally had clarity and ambition. From what we've read last night and this morning, we made a complete hash of it. It's now undeniable that we're moving down the list and we've shot ourselves firmly in the foot by not doing very simple things correctly and as looks likely will be left with a younger Steve Bruce, who won't be backed by the fans from day one (sound familiar?) facing relegation. All of which was avoidable.
It has been a nightmarish start to life for the new owners. Whether in 3 years it's all a distant memory, who knows. But I might be dead in three years and it's ****ing annoying that I've got to spend half of that time watching Eddie Howe try to get us promoted.
I said the same thing before the emery news and that is that the surface of the water tells you nothing about what's going on underneath.
I still believe they've got other perfectly capable managers in the bag.
The guy didn't fancy it and they'll enjoy coming up with the worst explanation for it.
