That just it though. Lambert was a bloody good player and was coached by some very decent managers. Bruce was very good, managed by arguably the very best of all time. Both utter gash as managers.

McNeill, O’Leary, McLeish, Sherwood and Di Mattieo were all very good players. There’s a theme here.

And a good number of the most successful managers in our history were average players at best. Step forward Deano. Be the next SGT.

The first and latest of our managers to win trophies and the most successful were a lot more than average.

Sure but the overall point still stands though. And it’s not just our club. Many great managers had very modest playing careers.

I don't think anyone has ever claimed that a great player would be a great manager, but there aren't many great managers who didn't at least play at the top level.

Wenger is often mentioned in the same breath as Mourinho and AVB as an example of managers who never made it as player, but he was a top-flight midfielder in France. That's a pretty good level for anyone to achieve.

My money is on Adkins getting the heave ho from Hull leaving room (and there’ll need to be plenty) for Bruce to rejoin his former club in time for their return match with us at VP. By then let’s hope Smith has us firing and we can make Bruce suffer.

Doubt it while the Allam family is still the owners.

Got a feeling SB will pop up somewhere like Sheff Weds. Imagine the laughs if Brentford sack the guy who's lost his first three and appoint Bruce. If we thought he was out of his depth here...

Bruce is being linked with the Reading job.

Genuinely cannot understand how this man keeps getting pay checks and jobs on 3 year deals.
Re: Bruce to reading. That will suit him down to the t, underdog team where he can berate other peoples budgets and how hard the league is

Paul Lambert getting the Ipswich job the first manager to have managed both Norwich and Ipswich should be interesting.

I don't know if there was any truth in it but Bruce was linked with the Brentford job before they confirmed they were appointing Thomas Frank.

From everything we've heard about how they do things at Brentford I think it's safe to say Bruce was never even thought about by them.

Yeah, that manager-swap seems unlikelier than the most unlikely wife swap...Debbie McGee and Ricky Tomlinson, or whoever.
