I would only agree to change the manager if the new manager was a progressive manager with ideas that matched the modern game. The manager needs to be a coach foremost and a manager second. I am fed up with the supposed quick fixes of 'he's done it before'.
We did the stability thing of sticking with losing managers and they carried on losing and things got progressively worse.Are we that stupid that we'd continue to back a losing manager indefinitely just for the sake of so called stability. We don't need stability, we need a good manager, who doesn't panic at the size of the job and pressures, with a good grasp of how he wants to play football, who signs players who fit his idea and drills them in that way.

I agree with something SHQ said about poor planning leaving us with nowt up top when ACON hit and we lost momentum against Cardiff and then Spurs and Wolves.With a bit more confidence we'd have put some of the chances away against Forest and Ipswich and tonight. It's fine margins.Newcastle game may suit us where, for once, the onus isn't on us to attack. I think as poor as the run is, we will turn it around.I am not having a pop as I respect your fair mindedness about him but I would also note I dont think we deserved to win a couple of Bruces wins either.Regardless IMHO as someone else just said (cant find the post) we are just too negative. One of the only (perhaps THE only) positive of Sherwood is at least he would go for it. Bruce fits in the mold of all our other recent managers in that he just gets more and more negative.I don't know why it happens but it does. IS there any evidence Bruce is going to change us into a free flowing attacking team? I dont think so, I dont think its in his DNA. Sadly.There's no way Bruce sent out a negative side tonight. He had 6 attack minded players in the 11.We are in a terrible rut - missing chances, low on confidence, teams scoring from their only efforts on goal. It really is a perfect storm but I hope the club holds their nerve.Hindsight is a wonderful thing but it does feel like the number of changes has been counter-productive and made us too disjointed. It was a bigger gamble than it appeared at the time.
