Sorry should have been clearer, no chance he goes if we get promoted. He'll be kept on for his experience and know how in the premier league.

I think you’re probably right though, he would at least start the next season. I don’t think we have a progressive or ruthless enough board to make a big decision like sacking the bloke who just got us promoted. But then again we could both be wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan_of_oz Posted October 11, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted October 11, 2017 If he gets us up I would be willing to put a large wager on his first blip being his only blip.... Similar to what happened to Adkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grasshopper Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 depending on which way one looks at it, the levels some go to defending someone who is still, and has been failing since January is not only embarrassing but also baffling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasshopper Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 With Ancellotti out of work I dont think Bruce will be here next season once our players get us promoted despite his negative tactics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubberman Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 If he gets us up - big if - I think whether he stays will be dependent on how we go up. Scraping into the playoffs on the back of turgid 1-0 wins, probably he'll go. Going unbeaten from here and topping the league and he'll get a go in the PL. But let's get up first and then worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But let's get up first and then worry about it. I think if he gets us up he'll be given a season to keep us up, rightly or wrongly. I wouldn't be keen on him staying beyond that, unless by that stage he has us playing much much better. I'd be fine with him going for a better alternative as soon as we go up (IF we go up). Can't see it happening though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 This sort of reminds me of Brexit. I voted remain but a lot of remain voters are almost desperate for the country to fall to bits. I find it baffling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 After analysing the last 1124 pages of opinion, my deduction is this. He will either go or stay and furthermore, I hope he does, sincerely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave ,I don't think it comes down to them being ruthless or not.....you don't run an empire like Dr T and be Lilly Livered......its about making sound judgments and acting upon them. You have to understand there is no manager that can guarantee anything in terms of results....they too will know that.....but they all want bundles of money, that much is guaranteed. You and me have to also appreciate that their decision making process may not dovetail in to ours, they see a bigger picture than we.....we are mere dilettantes, they are professional people running a multi million pound business, with million pound decisions that would have us running to the hills. Don't underestimate the people who are running the club, that is not to over estimate them either. We can all make comparisons to support our arguments, but invariably they offer very little on either side such is the magnitude of the variables. We know exactly what we have to do......win every game, the rest is cosmetic.....leave the detail to those that get paid handsomely for it and trust in them until there is a time not to.

Donniewyer Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 If we get promoted, Potato Head has earned the chance to see what he can do back in the Prem & he'll have my support. Our goal will be to stay up - plain and simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
