It’s time for action, Chris. Get to it mate.

I think this next week will tell us a lot about whether our new owners are genuinely  the real deal and expect results or whether they are simply a bit disconnected but hopeful.

Mark hughes has a bit of Nans hair about him too . Maybe its a Manure thing .

Perhaps excessive use of the hairdryer in the ManUre dressing room prematurely ages the follicles?

For all those putting Benitez forward as a candidate, didn't Purslow work with him at Liverpool and criticise his managerial style in an interview afterwards?

I believe so, yes.

Benitez it will take 6 mil to get him ,not happening.

[Ozzjim]

Purslow and Benitez were not fans of each other by all reports.

Anyhow, if the press are to be believed Purslow thinks Bruce is worth sticking with. Hopefully his sporting director he appoints will quickly inform him of his fuckwittery.

He sacked him and appointed Hodgson

But in fairness they were in a huge financial mess, so can be argued he was cutting his cloth accordingly

The report by Percy of the Telegraph that Purslow wants to keep Bruce has me very worried about Mr Purslow.

Doesn't bode well if he thinks sticking with Bruce is the right choice, as much as anything too many fans have turned now and it's just going to get messier. You shouldn't be afraid to do things the fans don't like sometimes but when it's turning into  a stand off between the manager and the fans there's only ever going to be one winner. Regardless I hope he's smart enough to be looking at the options right now and sounding people out because it's a matter of time before he'll be making his first appointment.

That said it might be that he's here as more of a commercial entity and the sporting director we're linked with will be the one who makes the call on Bruce, which would mean that Purslow thinks keeping the manager until that guy is in place and can get on with finding the replacement is better than potentially looking to employ both at the same time. If that's the case then we need to get a move on with the former because Bruce is already checked out and going through the motions of protecting his rep so he'll get another job(in my opinion).

I don't think it's the follicles that get prematurely aged - they've got plenty of those. It's the damaged brainicles that I think we need to be worried about 😉

It may just be wishful thinking, but I'm going to interpret that as the quintessential 'vote of confidence' from the Board. Which hopefully means he'll be gone in a day or two.

then I think you are going to be disappointed.
