Bruce Sacked at last (now official)

[The Edge]

It has already been suggested that SB's demeanor is that of one working notice.

I'm sure someone will correct me if this is not the case, but doesn't his rolling contract renew or terminate next month?

It might not be too unreasonable to hope therefore that managed, process driven change is already underway in anticipation of October 12th (or there or thereabouts... euch)

Can't believe that NSWE aren't in process.

*clutches straw even harder*

Good point, placing palms of hands together.

I was told by someone who claims to have a mate on the inside -yes I know but I'll take anything right now- that his contract was up end of October so November the 1st could be the big day. (Clutching straws so hard I've got blisters)

Isn’t a 1 year rolling contract one that means there is always 1 year left on it?

So 6 more weeks of Bruce, oh lord.

I honestly thought that quote was a parody written by the poster on here who predicts Bruce's post match comments (sorry can't remember who it is).  Surely it can't be real can it?  I mean pretty much every excuse he's ever used, plus a couple of new inventions for good measure, in one quote?  All of which have been discredited?
And such utter utter bullshit?    Unbelievable.  It really does sound like a desperate man who knows the game is up.

The problem is he gets away with coming out with that kind of stuff as he is a popular figure with media types and he never really gets questioned.  We're not really much of a national concern especially as we're in the second tier at the moment and we all know what the local media are like.  Like others before him, he's able to set a narrative which is regurgitated by his cronies in the media because noone questions it.

I hope this noone bloke does question him properly cos the rest of the sycophant journos certainly won't.

[Rodders]

Blimey. I'd assumed that there would be break clauses for both parties, but you may well be right, Andy.

Sorry everyone if so.

I feel sick to my stomach at the prospect of another few weeks of him, still less an additional fifty two.

Unless hes given notice, which seems possible this time last year to be honest
Here's hoping !

[andyh]

I suppose you can still sack him at any time but there will always be 1 years salary payable?

[mike]

Actually, I do think that he thinks we are stupid.

I’m not so sure. I think he’s just stupid himself.

Unless you serve notice I guess. Get us promoted and you get a new contract, fail
and you are gone.

Presumably a clause must exist whereby either party can give the other 6/3/1 month's notice of termination of the contract. Not that I think for a second that that's happened.

One can only hope.

1 year rolling means notice period will be 1 year, thats the point of it, ie if you want rid quicker you have to pay 1 year.

So, if you were in possession of a really expensive manager this time last year and we started as bad as we did, might you possibly have served the statutory notice period of 1 year and said "Dont worry Steve, its a fomality just in case we don;t go up, get us up and we'll renew it obviously"

I would .......

Fits with the Bruce expression when Hourihane scored - looked like a man seeing any sort of payoff disappearing.
And his post match presser.

Gonna be Henry .....mark my words !!!!

You might be right. I was basing my point on the fact that I once worked for a company on a 6 month FTC, but they were C-words and I had the provision to lave early by giving them 1 month's notice as per any other employee.

I could be way off. I'm not a hot shot football manager. Then again, neither is Steve Bruce.

Football contracts are bollocks with bag heavily loaded in favour of the professional staff☹️

I think the average football contract wouldn't include a shorter notice period for the employee ie manager to give, on the grounds that if they were (by a miracle) any good, that would negate a lot of the compensation they might hope for if another club came knocking.

I think Bruce is serving out his notice period, maybe in the promise of a payoff if he doesnt make waves
