rbcuk Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Let's hope it 3rd time lucky with the next manager, can't afford to muck this one up otherwise another season in the championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted August 15, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted August 15, 2017 This is a test for Xia now. Sacking Bruce will seem to outsiders like a rash, knee jerk move. We need to see how ruthless Dr X really is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted August 15, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted August 15, 2017 Needs to have balls now. It's not going to look good and the press will have a field day but Bruce HAS to go. Last season tells us promotion has probably already gone if we don't get a couple of quick wins, Bruce is not going to get those wins and could well send us into a terminal spiral to division 3. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macandally Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Please pull the trigger Tony, shocking Manager. Just put out a team to protect his position rather than win the game. Please do what SB cannot do and make the right decision for the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he is the type to make rash decisions when he drinks, and is a litre of Vodka into a 48 hour binge.

Tommo_b Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Is there any top managers we could realistically poach? Brendan Rogers? Martinez? Would Adkins do a job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Unless he makes sure Bruce is sacked tonight or tomorrow at the latest then he's lost me. He's put more money into the club than any of us could have hoped for, but his appointments regarding football have been poor. There is still time to save the season. But the clock is ticking.

OutByEaster? Posted August 15, 2017 Moderator Share Posted August 15, 2017 Sacking the manager is only one part of what's wrong - this is a testing time for Dr Xia and we may well learn a little bit more about him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dounavilla Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Two things required when selecting a new manager: 1: some actual tactics that involve our players passing to each other. 2: Some Balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
