One of the reasons I liked the Val appointment was because he was on his way up in his managerial career. And their fans were disappointed to lose him.

I'd like to see a young up and coming manager. Someone with enthusiasm and a bit of charisma. Someone we stick with through hard times. Not sacking him because we are only 5th in the league.

Someone like Maresca would fit the bill. Links with the club, good contacts at Man City for any prospective young loan players. Learned off Pep.

And so, no I wouldn't keep Bruce. But I think he'll be here next season.
I agree with you but until Lai is gone, things will not change for the better. I think that Steve Bruce is a decent bloke but past it as regards management. Lai and the board, though, appear to be clueless and until they have been cleared out we will just have to suffer!
