Well summed up Dave.
The term "dinosaur" comes to mind in reference to Bruce.
Let's just hope and pray that the new owners will bring in someone who is progressive in thinking and approach and we can have football that won't bore us to death.

Glad to be shot of Bruce, but the new manager has got his work cut out for him. We've been left with a leaky defence and three terrible goalkeepers, and no chance of bringing in anyone new until January. Not going to be easy for anyone.

Nail on head. 

Thank God he's gone, and hopefully more exciting times ahead.

I think that’s about as accurate a few paragraphs as it’s possible to read on his tenure. It’s regrettable that it’s not likely to be the wider media narrative.

I got home and stuck Talksport on just as they were introducing Dave. Well said Dave and obviously helped by the fact that Hawksbee and Jacobs are intelligent blokes and good broadcasters who allow an interviewee to make their points rather than talking over people and pushing their own views.

That is a very good and balanced summary. I like the cricket analogy too.

That's probably the first time I've listened to talksport in a couple of years (apart from when i'm being given a lift back from the game). They are two of the better broadcasters on there.
