Bruce Sacked at last (now official)

[ktvillan]

I just want someone to make it resemble entertainment.

Which means not Allardyce or Moyes.

Entertainment you say?

I love that Bruce refers to the reaction as 'hysteria'. Sorry Steve but on what level is 7 points from 7 games acceptable. We've also scored 1 goal in three games. It's not hysteria, it's a fucking embarrassing return.

I think if anything it's Bruce admitting he's worried about his job because he's done nothing of note since taking over. Very worried indeed.

Yep, definitely a sure sign that justified paranoia is setting in.
The other obvious one is the onset of speeded-up ageing.

Sorry to be a pedant but if his concern is justified then it is not paranoia. With his years of experience in the game he will be well aware of the consequences of our current position.

Tony is a very clever and analytical man.

7 games
7 points
7 goals (4 in one game)

Last 10 games last season

Won 1 (Blues)
Drew 1
Lost 8

Still no plan
Still no regular formation

What is he waiting for?  If it is a magical change in method and style it ain't gonna happen

Get rid

[Ozzjim]

Is it really 11 points from our last 15 league games???

[Steve67]

More fool him if he wants to piss his hard earned money up the wall. A fool and his money are easily parted. Get rid.

No, we ended last season with 5 point (1w, 2d 3l) from 6 and we've started with 7 from 7 (1w, 4d, 2l) so 12 from 13 - relegation form for what is getting on for a 3rd of a season.  Bruce (and the media and seemingly Wyness) seem to ignore the end of last season though so sacking him for 7 from 7 would be wrong.

I think thats right. I also think he is well aware of how this is going to end. The question is, does he know he needs to change? or does he just think his luck needs to?

Our last 10 games last season was W3 D 2 L 3.  I am not a Bruce fan either but we definitely didn't lose eight of the last 10.

Think you meant w5 d2 l3.
Oh for that in next 10.
I still haven't recovered from the frustration of not winning Tuesday. Felt like this time last year.

[mr underhill]

me too - but will Barnsley be his Waterloo should we not win?

[TonyD]

Seriously not impressed with the owner.  He should have replaced by now.  It's just wasting time and games.

That would look reasonably healthy if we were trying to avoid relegation in a 38 game PL season. Tony Pulis would probably already have his holiday brochures out.

That's the relevant stat. Which plants us firmly in the bottom half of the league. Not good enough. End of.

[JUAN PABLO]

Ive just woke up , hoping he might be gone .

If you look at his record since he has been here we will finish about 10th , not good enough .

If we carry on with his record this season it leaves us with 46 pts . He got lucky last season with Johnny danger who he did not even sign to get him to 13th , without JK god knows where we would have finished.

I was never happy with the appointment , found it dull and inspiring but I could see why it was made , as he had the experience of getting teams out of this league , however dull the football would be , so I was behind him. i did not expect it to be dull ( well actually crap )  while not scoring  and having no idea how to actually to set his team up, no idea of tactics or formations  .

I liked him but watching his interviews after games I have gone right off him . Gabby back in the team was my first wtf , then Samba up front , then the team set up against Bristol City and now hes squeezing bloody Elmo anywhere in the team .

Bruce Out !!!!
