    We've not sold our best players and won't get relegated

    I heard all this crap when we had a bad run last season... We then went on to perform the 10th best side in the league for 18 games.

    You never learn mate..

    It's only 4 games in mate I would say 6 to 10 games is a reasonable amount to make a proper assessment.

    It could go either way yet, so I'm hanging fire for a short time just to avoid eating humble pie like the rest of our fanbase.

    Incidentally if we'd not a win or two the fans would just say it was lucky again.

    I know everyone gets pissed off at me but I'm just being fair

    Alright lads, new poster here.

    I honestly can’t see the club sacking Bruce until at least November. Only way he goes anytime soon is if he walks, and I don’t think he’s even close to walking yet.

    Club will wait to see if the CAT case can proceed later this month, and then if it is allowed, the clubs legal team and PL legal teams may open dialogue to save face on both sides. If that’s the case the club still won’t bin him leaving it hanging on the hope of new owners being responsible and taking the financial hit on that.

    If he quits, I can’t see the club appointing a new manager for the same reasons. Think it will be Jones as temp manager with a few coaches from u23 and u18 pumped up to the first team until the takeover picture is clearer.

    If CAT case is thrown out, I reckon we can flush the takeover down the bog and need to hope for someone else to come in.

    In that case he will probably gey binned but Christ knows who comes in. We’re probably looking at yet another Bruce style appointment of an Allardyce (was at Old Trafford on Saturday), Hughes, Pardew or a young manager gamble like Terry, Lampard, Bowyer.

    It’s just a ****, **** state of affairs.

    If he doesn't go til November we are going to be relegated probably second bottom of the league, because Norwich simply are far worse than us.

    If we fire him right now and hire a replacement we will probably see a new manager bounce win a few games and be safe as houses for the remainder of the season.

    The club has a simple, simple decision to make. Hire Eddie Howe.

    Honestly think nothing happening till we hear from CAT case.

    It gets the go ahead we’re stuck with Bruce-ball I reckon, and we then hope for a legal compromise to pave way for takeover. If it’s thrown out, then the takeover is as good as flushed down the bog and we get another **** Ashley appointment but not until then.

    If we want names I’d hedge on either Chris Wilder or John Terry.

    That's what happens when you have an actual manager

    Yep but if you think Bruce will be replaced by a good manager then you're sadly mistaken.

    I still believe even a **** could get better out of this team. I also think that just by getting rid of Bruce the atmosphere in the ground will soften

    I'm bored of the endless Bruce out stuff.. Its too soon. The only way he's going to get sacked is if the side loses another few games by which time we'll be ****ed, so I hope he turns it around

    Rondon and Andros for nothing.
    Easy and good business if the board backs you,
    But we signed Joelinton…

    Think we’ll be taken over in the next 8 weeks, Bruce will be fired instantly and the club will go on a run sparking a lot of optimism ahead of a decent January.
