The whole point will be

the situation which allows the majority of the fans to give Bruce a chance.

If he can produce miracles despite the Ashley influence and despite the fact that through no fault of his own he, an average Championship manager, has replaced one of the finest and most popular managers world wide, then he will be accepted or at least tolerated as long as he's getting more out of the team than expected.

I feel that had he arrived to replace Phartdew or MacMuffin at the time when their tenure was overdue then he might have had a good welcoming part.

As it is he has really got to conjure up the rabbit out of the hat to even look as though he has more than an even chance of being accepted.

I personally dont think Bruce has a chance in hell of the fans giving him a fair chance.
Its not through any fault of his own.
I have nothing against him, he is simply not of a good enough calibre to be holding the reins at my beloved club.

Ashley has made the managers position, one of riddicule given the fact he pulls all the strings and wont settle for anyone in the management or playing staff having an opinion.

The ONLY way Bruce can begin to sway the fans is to win the majority of the games in the first half of the season.

This itself is the poison though, because if he does say have over 20 points on new years day, it only strengthens Ashleys hand by proving his way works.

I had this converstaion at work today, id actually settle for double relegation and starting from scratch in L1 if it meant getting rid of this parasite

I think most of us would honestly accept that with the proviso that we were always above Blunderland and got promotion from the 3rd tier by keeping them down there.
