romavillan Posted September 13, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted September 13, 2017 7 points in 7 games is not good enough, it's half of what we need in terms of points per game. We need someone in quick who can get us up to 2 points a game, even then we're starting from 9 points behind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 (edited) If not now, my thinking is when his rolling contract is up in October? Watch him now proceed to scraping 3 1-0 wins and screwing it up. Lol Edited September 13, 2017 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I gain nothing else from the Bruce period, I'm happy I've learned today. I always thought a rolling contract meant it automatically went into another 12 months at the end.. I google'd it and you are correct. I just means there's always 12 months left. Thank you for the education, sir. Edit: Just read another to say what I thought before is correct. I dunno' what to believe any more! Beer. Edited September 13, 2017 by Sam3773 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 (edited) We are not getting anywhere near play offs with Bruce and I think it's obvious to see. The season can be rescued if we act quick and get the right appointment in, but for all that to happen is unlikely. Basically, it's another season down here then hopefully we can push on next year. Depressing,I know. Edited September 13, 2017 by Rugeley Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team, club and supporters need a lift. We're not getting it with Bruce in charge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newry_Villan Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I'm now awake and he hasn't been sacked. Great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junxs Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I really cant fathom why he's still here, should have gone end of last season.. everyone can see that he isn't capable. Even the people not calling for his head have pretty much admitted that we aren't going up this year and they just want Bruce to hang around because of stability. Sorry but that's no reason to keep hold of someone if there are no signs of improvement in a whole year. I'm getting depressed more and more with each passing day where his sacking isn't announced. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's getting hard to see what the benefit of him getting more time will be, he looks a million miles off getting us to play the kind of football required to go on the winning streak of the dimensions we need now. We really need to to do 10 unbeaten with at least 7 wins in there to be up there competing for 2nd. I have zero faith in his ability to do that and for every game he is in charge it's another week of seemingly useless coaching, poor result and the top of the league disappearing over the horizon. If we were on 7 points after 7 games but we'd completely bossed games and been unlucky, looked like a team at least, then I'd say give him time. We look nothing like though to be fair, so I really don't understand. Keep averaging 1 point a game for another 3 and we could be too far adrift again and have to write another season off. Next summer we will have to rebuild with no more prem parachute money to help. Really important to get him out now IMO. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That can surely be the only reason they have not sacked him before now. Xia could easily mean that it is an important month for gaining points. It is not necessarily a threat.

Vive_La_Villa Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Right now I just want to know one thing. what does his 12 month rolling contract mean? If he really does come to end in a few weeks that would make sense why he hasn't been sacked yet. We probably have no money left to pay compensation.

A rolling contract renews every day, so he always he 12 months remaining. So it doesn't matter if he's sacked today or next month, compensation will be 12 months.
