Bruce Sacked at last (now official)

[sickbeggar]

Don't buy bobbins like Hogan for millions seems to be the moral of the story here.

Indeed. Buying, and paying the wages of crap players who don't contribute to anything is definitely not the way forward.

And this is why buying 'young and hungry' is appealing and why spending the money we did on Fat Ross was fucking stupid.

[sickbeggar]

well Bruce made Ross unsellable IMO. Yeah he was a liability, but don't tell the whole world about it.

I am all for it. Next time we do it though I would prefer to do it in a way that doesn't get us relegated.

You mean don't tell the fans why he's not being picked?

[sickbeggar]

just how sensible managers do it. Keep it internally and then get rid.  like it or not we had 12m locked up in his transfer and we wouldn't get a million for him now.

Ross made Ross unsellable.

The truth would have got out anyway. Bruce did nothing wrong whatsoever.

nah, after Bruce mouthed off, all the fulham stuff came out. They knew but kept their mouths shut, and got rid. In January when it all blew up, a striker who had scored 21 goals the previous season was a saleable asset. After all the press, we couldn't give him away

Agreed. Also I know nothing about the legalities of football but I assume misrepresenting a players fitness and behaviour to fraudulently increase his sell on value is illegal somehow.

sold as seen. fulham knew he was poison and didn't inform us. maybe we can sue?

fulham managed it. As it was it didn't need to be leaked as Bruce was telling any journo who would listen

[Clampy]

He's getting results but we have to find something to have a go at Bruce at it seems.
