SuperSAINT Posted 22 July, 2016 Share Posted 22 July, 2016 Steve Bruce is apparently on the verge of leaving Hull Our meltdowns aren't as fun as other clubs' I've seen him interviewed a few times pre-season & he's been so forthright and honest about things there, it wouldn't surprise me if he left. He knows he's likely on borrowed time with the take-over in the background there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulrich van Gobbel Posted 22 July, 2016 Share Posted 22 July, 2016 So that's Hull and Sunderland looking pretty fcked. Bruce wasn't popular at Sunderland being a geordie and doubt he'd go back. Seems crazy to get to a situation where your successful manager leaves a few weeks before the season though. Bruce is best off waiting to see who gets sacked first this season now, although obviously pompey will be eager to swoop. I've been told this afternoon that Moyes will be announced as Sunderland manager today. Ellis Short sacked Bruce so won't be having him back. Bruce as Big Sam's No.2 for England though?

To some extent you've got to wonder if Messi un-retiring for one last World Cup could be too good to turn down. Argentina will be waiting a long time before they can challenge again once Messi is retired - if he could win them the World Cup he'll be a national hero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelman Posted 24 July, 2016 Share Posted 24 July, 2016 Mahrez to Chelsea. And then Vardy to Arsenal? I hope so!! Some might think it petty but I hope it happens and their team is ripped apart. What modicum of success that we have had pails into insignificance with what LCFC achieved. For them to then be dismantled reinforces what a **** league/sport this really is. We got picked apart in a similar way to what seemingly will happen to LCFC. A player wanting to move + a good fee = a transfer. You can't blame the players. Sure they have CL this season, but it is more than likely to be a one off. They sign a 5 year contract at Chelsea/Arsenal and they are likely to get CL 3-5 times in that 5 year contract. The sad thing is, that those in charge of the game are more than happy for the big 6 to be able to steam roll everyone else and for the top 4 to be, save for last year, a closed shop.

Batman Posted 24 July, 2016 Share Posted 24 July, 2016 (edited) Really Batman? Can you tell me how we blew everyone else out of the water in L1? Lambert cost more than the next 3 big signings that SEASON combined 2 out of 3 of those next biggest signings.....guess who they signed for....? the other player was Grant Holt not many teams in league 1 when we were there could buy a £1m defender from the league above, beating a prem team to his signature and get him to DROP down a league. lambert admitted his (if i remember rightly) wages quadrupled when he joined us. we never had to sell a single player to survive or finance anything. which is rare in league 1 and we had very big crowds compared to about 20 teams Kelvin davis was happy to to turn down a prem club to stay. Now, I know he likes it here but lets not pretend he did it out of charity I wonder if Bristol Rovers thought it was fair game that we swiped their top player, or Dagenham thought it was all part of the fun that we could pay a single player for more than their running costs Edited 24 July, 2016 by Batman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
