Well I'm on board
Think this will be a fantastic appointment
People forget he started as a league One manager with Brighton
and stormed the league. Then had them on the verge of promotion to the Prem next season.

If he could replicate that along with playing the kind of football we witnessed at Man U that famous night we really will be having our cake and eating it.

Mind you part of what makes him different is that he's a bolshie bugger.
Virtually all his jobs he's left because he's had disagreements rather than the football.

Think the new boys need to give him his head (within reason) and maybe appoint a Sporting director above him who just delivers what he asks for rather than dictate to him
A bit like the set up they have at Liverpool Lets Gus manage the football strategy and style of play throughout the club

That is a bit revisionist regarding Bruce mind.

The crowd did not hound him out early at all. He started well, had an absolutely appalling run but we still stayed up and no hounding from the crowd that I heard.

Same the next year really, very good start and then dramatic fall off but okay in the end.

Among all of that were pitiful efforts in the cups, and pitiful efforts in tbe derbies. In the end Bruce wanted out because his annual mass team juggling hadn't worked and he was lost.

It is Bruce's own ,after the fact, protestations that have given a false impression that he was hounded out. Only very late in tbe day, after a grotesque home record over many, many months did fans snap.

Fair enough we've got different views, but I'm ok with that.

I do think there were quite substantial negative rumblings about him even early doors. I also think he didn't help himself, especially second season when things started to go wrong. He almost went into a 'us against the world' mentality and that included his own fans.

What has Stefan Schwarz been up to in the last 20 years to make him qualified for this?

This isn't me saying he's not qualified - I genuinely have ZERO idea as to what he's done since leaving us.
