Lets have a recap since O'Neill jumped shipWe've changed managers numerous times = No change in fortuneWe've changed coaching staff numerous times = No change in fortuneWe've changed the badge on the shirt = No change in fortuneWe've changed the entire playing staff numerous times = No change in fortuneWe've changed the owner = No change in fortuneWhat hasn't changed ? The fragmented and at times poisonous supportHow will changing Bruce change a thing ?I'm not saying we should or shouldn't replace him, just convince me taking into account ALL the above that it would change things for the better.
If we lose against the Geordies and Derby, Xia is going to have to be made of steel to resist the tidal wave of discontent that will come from the fans baying for Bruce's head. Xia needs the fanbase more than he needs Bruce.
Give him until the summer to save his job. The season is gone. If there happens to be a top manager around looking for work and a big paycheck then go for it, but otherwise I don't think anyone remotely decent will want to come in late feb, to a side stuck in no mans land in the championship. We're not woeful enough to go down, and the bottom 3 aren't good enough to make up that gap (thankfully), so we won't go down. I think there will be better managers available in May. And I most certainly don't want some pisspot caretaker prick like Black again.
I don't think we've deserved to lose any of the last three games. I agree with something SHQ said about poor planning leaving us with nowt up top when ACON hit and we lost momentum against Cardiff and then Spurs and Wolves.With a bit more confidence we'd have put some of the chances away against Forest and Ipswich and tonight. It's fine margins.Newcastle game may suit us where, for once, the onus isn't on us to attack. I think as poor as the run is, we will turn it around.
Endlessly changing manager hardly ever works. I like Bruce and want it to work out for him, but he looks to me like he's utterly fucking lost the plot.I am now increasingly concerned we are going to get relegated.
Personally I think he,or whoever, bought the wrong players in the window, too many or the wrong fit, who knows?Its a FUCK OFF from me.
