Christian Purslow - Resigned

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Is that really a disaster, that we go on a good run?

In a sense it's the worst of all possible worlds, Bruce possibly doing enough to keep himself employed, but not enough to get us up.  Unless he can sustain it over the season it just keeps us in limbo.  Since history indicates he can't sustain it, best to take the long term view and bin Bruceball.

I really don’t understand this way of thinking, I don’t care who is the manager as long as the team I’ve supported all my life wins more often than it loses

I'd like us to win enough to be promoted, as this squad should be capable of.

Indeed and for the second season running. There's only one person holding us back. Lance the boil.

Shouldn’t we have heard from him by now.
Whether it’s something really profound and visionary, or the usual platitudes.

Hopefully plotting Bruce’s downfall!!😁

My view is they're not bothered about this season, it's all about the next one but if I'm wrong (and I think everyone thinks I am) then I would hope that, whatever run he puts together, they are already looking for someone better as just winning a few games doesn't make him not the overall useless tool he's been for years as evidenced by that ancient Sunderland article that (rightly) keeps getting posted.

I suspect he's getting feet under the table, getting to know what's what before he says much. And perhaos speaking to folks outside of the club too.

Perhaps he knows Terry better than Bruce does and is lining him up form ore than a playing role. Perhaps I'm talking shit.

Bruce is doing a good enough job of that himself.

I wish someone would do a parody of Bruce keeping his job in that famous scene from Downfall which spawned many YouTube imitations.

[brian green]

That would be good eamonn but I would really, really love *KK voice* a parody of Alan Partridge trying to keep his job.

Surely you mean Bruce the pimple?

"Hutton at left back?"

"Mile at centre half?

"Around the world with Micah in a bull nose Austin?"

"Smell my 4 promotions you mother !!"

“Have I got a 2nd season? Give me a 2nd season, YOU SHIT!”

Something like that?

[Risso]

Christian:       We don’t owe you a living. You are someone who has a proven track record of making mainly bad transfer decisions.
 
Steve:        That’s – that’s – that’s the Championship, but carry on.
 
[Steve is now nervously playing with his lower lip. He looks to be in great pain]
 
Christian:       It’s not the Championship. Your transfers are appalling. The goals from Hogan were a fraction of what we could have expected, and your defenders started badly, they got worse…
 
Steve:        [Interrupting in child-like imitation] They started badly, they got worse…ooh, wor defenders, wor defenders…

setting the bar low there

i would bet on every manager in all 4 leagues winning more games than they lost with Aston Villa
it would take a total buffoon to go a whole season and not win more than you lose with our squad and resources

Personally I think a bit of Monkey Tennis at half time would lift the spirits and mood of everyone. Even though it will inevitably be accompanied by the crowd chanting 'sign them up' and Bruce possibly doing so.

Can we email this fella a link to the Bruce Out thread.
