    I think we will have Bruce for this season and next unless the takeover happens regardless of what league the clubs in.

    "It was reported Bruce thought "long and hard" about his position after the 3-0 loss at the Amex but has concluded he is the right man to take the club forward and he doesn't think there is an alternative who would do a better job.”

    I just give up.

    We are the only club in history to let the manager make their own decision on their future.

    "Hmm. Shall I sack myself today? Nah."

    It’s the Rafa effect. Bruce just got worried that Rafa would get the credit.

    This is just horseshit. Bruce doesn't need an excuse to make poor managerial decisions. He's made a career out of it. This idea its about eradicating the memory of Rafa is just stupid. Its like any manager, they make their own decisions and do things their own way. They live and die by those decisions. Bruce has to live and die by decisions like this.

    We had to get rid of defenders because we had too many and we were intending to play a back 4. You can't have a 25 man squad with 6 centre backs if you intend to play with a 4. You lot would be all over him by now for that.

    We had Clark, Lejeune, Lascelles, Schar, Dummett, Fernandez.
    • Lascelles is captain so he was always staying (made captain by Rafa it must be said so you'll have to ask him why Lascelles was so important).
    • Fernandez is our best centre back, so he was staying.
    • Dummett was needed for left back cover also and was injured so he was staying.
    So then you are left with Schar, Lejeune and Clark. He plumped for Clark and Schar. Understandable because Lejeune just back from a serious injury, wanted to leave after a difficult season with injury, and Clark gave you a left footed option.

    This is just more anti Bruce rhetoric. We get it, you hate him and would like to blame him for everything :emoticon-0148-yes:

    It's not like

    He went out of his way to break up anything rafa was responsible for

    Longstaff Hayden partnership dismantled
    Schar dropped
    Lejeune gtfo
    Almiron was being forced out early this season.
    Gayle cannot get a game
    Manquillo was being dropped for Yedlin and Krafth
    Muto.. Gtfo
    Carroll in


    This isn't a Bruce thing btw they're all the same, they all do it.

    It was a flippant comment tongue in cheek what I said mate. You took this to an epic level.

    I like it.

    Oh and yes. He sent out our what turns out to be best defender. He’s been voted their player of the year.

    Have any of our players even played well this year?

    This isn’t anti Bruce: this is anti what Bruce has done. He makes mistakes for a living and gets paid for it.

    Hands down the worst decision maker in our most recent history.

    But it’s ok. I’m on a witch-hunt eh!

    There’s no fight. I’m right. There’s nothing to question. We are all friends here. Acceptance is the first sign of recovery.

    Why do I get te feeling these meetings were Bruce sitting on the side of a desk giving out lectures to the players that want him out.
