He’s not going to resign if we lose on Saturdaybecause a few people on the internet don’t like him. If it were to happen I dreadti think who the powers that Be would appoint.

Wyness would probably pay 6 million in compensation to prize Moyes away from West Ham.

I've told you - it will be the Alan Curbishley / Gerry Francis double act.

He's not going anywhere until reaching the playoffs is mathematically impossible

I can't see him being sacked after we beat Derby to put us four points clear in second.

To clarify, I don't necessarily think what I said will happen and I certainly hope it doesn't, just making the point that as long as promotion is possible the Doc won't fire him in my opinion. Thinking a defeat on Saturday will be some sort of final straw is frankly ludicrous.

Indeed it is. All the ‘Bruce out’ Gang want him gone. Those in between give him one more game. The ‘Bruce In’ lot are only saying it to cause a row. ‘twas ever thus.

What about those of us in all three camps? He winds me up because I like him, I want him gone, but more than anything I want him to succeed. I suppose I should be glad I'm not Keith Wyness.

Our last two league games were an away win and a 5-0 home win. He's going nowhere regardless of what happens on Saturday.

He won't be sacked between now and end of season regardless of results IMO. And if we don't get promoted, well, I don't think it'll just be Bruce out the door.

I'm confident that Bruce will not be here come June 1st irrespective of going up or not.

Sheffield United away is off now btw as they won.

Our next four league games are:

Forest (A)
Barnsley (H)
Burton (H)
SHA (H)

10 points and this is all forgotten. Would be pretty disappointed if we got less than that.

Any reason why the Sheff U fixture wouldn't be rearranged asap? For example just moving it from the Saturday to the Tuesday?

Looks like I was onto something here.

We certainly need to be looking at 10 as a minimum from those 4 games. If and i know its a BIG IF but 12/12 happens then we will be comfortably second by mid afternoon 11/2
