Time to Rebuild?

[The Edge]

probably fuck you?

Do you genuinely believe Steve Bruce bought duds out of spite, while still in the biggest job he will ever have?

I suspect that once he realised his days were numbered he wanted to go out with a fat payoff rather than walking for nothing. I wouldn't call it spite but I think he knew what he was doing when he landed us with the most unbalanced lopsided squad in living memory.

The squad is a mess because Bruce was an incompetent tool.

Plovers Been Worn

this one is for you Clampy - anyone who believes that Bruce wasn't being bloody minded about constantly fielding players - particularly in an already weakened defence - out of position knowing that it would result in calamity needs their umps feeling.

[Clampy]

He played people out of position because he thought it was right but it was wrong. Oh and I'd rather you didn't feel my umps, whatever they are.

What ya gonna do with all that junk
All that junk inside your trunk

I think PWS got it about right, Bruce wasn’t a good manager. I’ve written off this season to be honest and the rebuilding can begin at the next window. I don’t think the current squad is anywhere near good enough to stay in the premier league so I’d rather we rebuild here ( as much as I hate this awful league)than get up and struggle to stay there. I said all along that the longer Bruce was manager the longer it would be to recover from him. It’s here to roost now. Dean Smith has got a lot of rebuilding to do, hopefully he’ll be given the time by everyone to do it

I had to Google that and now the chorus is in my head, you scamp.

Your lovely Clampy umps.

[Clampy]

It's Clumpy to you.

I don't think you have to worry about staying in the Premier League with the squad you go up with as the money that comes with promotion means you can bring players in. Any decent players in the three that go down are usually prime targets. Bruce reminds me of my days playing Championship Manager on the computer. Bruce left us with a squad that was unbalanced and weak in certain positions, which is unforgivable after the length of time and amount of money he was given. I used to struggle to find decent full backs so would double or triple up on them and also buy loads of strikers as I was concerned about not scoring enough goals. Then realise I was out of cash and short on midfielders.

Steve? Is that you?

[clash city rocker]

Perhaps Bruce believed the hype that he was a promotion specialist. Bit like the company Blockbuster. Was successful in its day but as things moved on it got left behind and folded.

Are they not around anymore?  I wanted to return Beverly Hills Cop tonight.
