Bruce Sacked at last (now official)

[itbrvilla]

So Leeds have taken Beilsa and we still have “ I don’t do tactics me” great.

Pretty much

Let’s give Leeds the trophy now shall we. Idiots

Were the idiots for keeping an idiots who failed with a huge amount of resources and whose poor tactics cost us promotion. The fact that when we went one down and the bloke next to me at Wembley decided to go home as he said he knew we'd lose says it all.

Having watched Jedinak and Bjarnason,not our best 2 players last year,perform creditably in a WC,how can people argue that Bruce should be given another year ?

Let’s be real idiots and give Bruce an extended contract

He's on a rolling contract so we havent actually extended it.

Playing for teams that didn't win.

to be fair playing against the likes of Messi , Aguero and greissman , champs league players and not the likes of Barry Bannan , David Wheater and Paul Mcshane

Cheap shot, I know. I made the point because there have many reasons posted on here to part company with Bruce (incidentally I think we should keep him), but saying that he's crap coz two of his charges put in a decent shift whilst playing for their countries is perhaps the daftest.

I wouldnt part with Bruce because of this neither thou BB should have played more , he has more drive than most midfielders we have , I want Bruce gone for many reasons nothing to do with Jedi .  Bringing on all your strikers and taking off your ammo to feed them would be one

If Bruce is willing to stay in the absolute shambles of a situation we're currently in, I've nothing but credit for the man. I say that assured in the knowledge we'll be playing some dreadful stuff on the pitch, but also with some assurance that we'll graft and be tough to beat. Getting as far away from the drop zone as quickly as possible will be order of business 1. Then we can hope (possibly requiring a lot of it) for a playoff push.

Bruce has in a very large way contributed to the shambles. He hasn’t got us promoted in two seasons and many of the players he bought to do that are on inflated contracts. Him staying isn’t a credit to him at all. He will be incredibly fortunate to be afforded that opportunrit.

Like any manager he'll work to the budget given to him. He had a lot of damage to repair from years of in-fighting, dressing room splits, inflated ego's etc. Getting to the play off final wasn't an entirely unsuccessful season. The trouble of course was, as is increasingly evident, our owners gambled everything on going up.
I think short of a takeover where someone can put in place a sustainable long term plan and not merely shite out 100 million and say we'll be up there with Barca in a couple of years, we'll be unable to attract any manager better suited to a Championship scrap than Bruce.

In the current situation I cannot see the positive aspect of changing. And lets not forget who's going to be picking any new potential manager.
