Bruce Sacked at last (now official)

[The Edge]

Spot on The Edge. This season will be another wasted opportunity.

We're lucky to even be starting this season on 0 points before kicking a ball and not in administration. Cheer up

At the risk of stating the bleeding obvious. Who's faults that then?

At least three of Lampard, Pulis, Bielsa, Rowett & Karanka won't get promoted this season after their clubs have spent a lot of money.  Will their managers be solely responsible if the clubs finances have been mismanaged and they flirt with Administration?

How many of them have used the money in a way that they're going to have no players to sell (except the best homegrown player they've produced in a generation) and massive gaps in the squad for next year?

The last I checked three managers got promoted anyway.

Who know until it all pans out?  But I suspect they will all be making use of the loan system like most clubs in the league do.  Arguably we could sell Hogan, Elmo, Bjarnason, Hourihane, De Laet or Lansbury.  Not necessarily all for profit, but they're saleable assets. 

I came to the conclusion a while ago that a change would be for the best, subject possibly to the stability / affordability issue when it looked like we were close to Admin.  But the non stop knocking and micro analysis of every little thing Bruce says or does is getting ridiculous.

Quite right well picked up, I started with a longer list but trimmed it before posting and didn't edit properly.

It's great that you've all written us off before a ball is kicked.

Leeds and Derby are just fighting it out amongst themselves for the title, both clearly streets ahead of everybody else.

Your the only one I see keep saying this
I'm starting to think you actually believe it

No Chris, you were right first time.
We're going up with Brucey, so at least three of that won't make it

Bruce on Sky just now:

On Grealish - the two clubs haven't reached agreement yet.
On what went wrong last year - two many old players and not enough freshness.

Picks Whelan and leaves Green on the bench.

Yep genius isn’t it.

He really is a duffer isn't he?

He's a lovely bloke but I'd like to see a right ****** in charge who knows what he's doing.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Had to laugh at Hendrie saying Bruce has put the foundations down in concrete and Bruce saying he's had to start from zero again. The new Chuckle Brothers.

Being sprayed with Cuprinol on a weekly basis has clearly affected Lee's brain.
