I’ll be amazed if we stay up, all the drama and sh1tehousing of a relegation season is there.

Aye...all the signs are there, aren't they.

just goes to highlght (not that it's needed) what a shite job Charnley is doing. He rocks up at the traning ground and Ritchie ends up apologising. No mention of Bruce saying sorry to the players he threw under the bus...or for barging one of his players.

I don't think the players have been playing for Bruce for a while. Question is, will they play for each other?

Or for us?

All that’s missing now is Bruce’s sacking with it being too late for a new manager to turn it around.

they might have played for us - if we were there - sadly we arent

[toptoon]

I hope that report is all true. To survive we need rid of Bruce and it looks like a player revolt may be the only way that fatboy will be forced to sack him.

this bit is what stands out for me and tells me Bruce may finally now be fo0ked


"There has long been an inquest into who has been leaking stories from the training ground and the manager has stood back and watched players and staff accuse each other, yet he is the biggest leak of all. Most of the players do not trust him and do not like him.'

Several players want new assistant boss Graeme Jones to take charge until the end of the season, believing he represents their best chance of avoiding relegation.

Bruce, it is claimed, even told some players that he thought Jones was to blame for the tactical mix-up that led to Wolves' goal. This spread among the squad on Tuesday and was met with a response of, 'It's never his fault'.

What a circus this is turning into.

Bruce actually, seriously - with all his experience - does not have a clue about man management, communication or about tactics.

How has this man gotten job after job after job at relatively big clubs in the UK? Baffling.

...there must be some kind of charachter flaw in the man that the likes of Sir Bob, Taylor and Venebles saw.

At a time when England were low on quality CBs he didn't even get a sympathy cap for his country, much less captaincy. Succesive managers seemed to agree, especially surprising considering the club he played for.

That's a very good point to bear in mind Sclox.

Bruce's deficiencies obviously have been pinpointed long before he put his "manager's" boots on.
