    Bruce in or out ?

    Okay with 7 games to go and this dismal season over, what’s your thoughts here and now about next season.presuming there is a break clause should Bruce stay or go…I think he should go as he doesn’t seem to give a toss but believe he will stay.

    It's some of the players who need to go. Bruce to stay.

    Some (quite a few tbh) players and Bruce to go!

    And Lai of course!

    Ask yourselves these questions:
    Have things improved?
    Will Livermore still be the first on the team sheet?
    Have any youngsters with dismal performances been given opportunities?
    Why has a current manager allowed Molumby to be signed?

    So for me and I was prepared to back him but we need to look at more dynamic managers who are doing better jobs on less budget - Luton - Blackburn - Coventry!

    I would certainly take Mowbray over Bruce as he will be out of contract!

    So for me get rid!!! What’s he achieved? Many would say we have got worse!!! Bristol and Blues we played like a pub team but still Bruce will love his captain who failed to rally the troops - yet again!!! Sick of moaning about awful performances from Bruce but nothing to rectify it!!

    10 games and 2-3-5 means a big No

    We wouldn’t have got that poor a return if Ish had stayed and I can’t see any substantial improvement

    It doesn't matter what manager we have, the owner, the recruiting process and the player's are all third rate.
    I couldn't give a toss one way or another if Bruce goes or stays. But whoever replaces him will inherit the same load of rubbish.

    The club needs sorting out from top to bottom. Getting rid of Lai is the biggest problem because he won't want to sell at a loss and that means that we are probably stuck with him. Our recruitment team are not fit for purpose and should be replaced. Regarding the Head Coach, I don't blame Bruce but I feel that we need a young, dynamic, coach with a vision for the future. I wouldn't advocate getting rid of the whole squad but it definitely needs trimming down in order to bring in new additions. Basically, we are in a mess.

    Val completely Pulis’d us in a sense that he bought in players to suit his style of play only. He ignored the need for pace and creativity completely - same as Pulis. Bruce’s mitigation is that it would always be difficult finding a style for this squad.

    However, Bruce took 6 games to work out that TGH was his best midfielder….with that in mind - Bruce out.

    Whole sale player sale.....
    Bruce out.
    Threaten China with sanctions to speed up Lai investment sale.
    A Drop to division one would greatly increase or speed this process up.

    The club if we didn't have a decent interest in them.....we would be laughing at them. As bad as late 80's in my view.
    Big switch off......

    Sick to death of us always settling for so called experienced managers. There must be dozens of brilliant European coaches who we could have done a job for us, instead we settle for 'past the sell by date'. The top 5 managers who have managed the most clubs in the prem are - Allardyce, Hodgson, Pardew, Bruce and the other one is..... well lets contact Bradford City and see if he has a get out clause?
