As a player couldn't agree more. As a manager he was bloody awful.

Hasn't the takeover (and with it Bruces contract talks) been going on for half a year or something??? I kind of understand him leaving when nothing happens.

yep, and now they want more time to try and drum up the funds, meaning the takeover will still be in limbo over the jan transfer window, meaning we can't sign players or managers without yeungs permission or something.

only managers there i'm even remotely interested in having are jol and jewell, bet we don't get them, black for an interim period, til they sort out this bloody takeover one way or the other

Not really. Bruce actually half decent. </BLOCKQUOTE>

Ermmm but I think they were gonna give him the boot anyway, so instead of paying him anything, they've landed £3 million compensation

retired_arifmaredia

he's left us because of the failure to promise him he'll still have a job come the end of the year, that and the doubling or tripling of his wages, not because he sees them as a better team

I hope he gets the job - Birmingham will be down for sure. Top player though.

That's exactly how I saw it as well. Bruce is an ok manager imo, but Birmingham are being paid top dollar when it looked more than likely that they weren't planning to renew his contract.

Good work :thup:

Fail to see how Bruce's assistant is a better alternative to Bruce. They won't attract anyone much better either.

he would have had a new contract, he was about to be offered a rolling contract when the takeover talk started, yeung insisted nothing was to be done until takeover was complete, now it looks like the takeover won't go ahead, so we've been given 3 mil, which won't make it anywhere near club funds, and we have no manager, with the likelyhood that the only replacements being of the standard of whiney snivelling brownnose coleman
