Steve Bruce Moves to Wigan.

he moans, whinges and generally annoys with his ******* attitude.

Personally I felt he did a good job at Birmingham but had taken them as far as he was going to - I get the feeling he's pretty limited. Wigan fans seem perfectly happy just to be a Premiership club, whereas Birmingham fans wanted much more too quickly.

If he moulds a team similar to the one he had when Birmingham first came up then Wigan will do very well. If he tries to do what he did the year they went down and so far this season then Wigan are ****ed.

The club are aware the playing staff are shocking and so aren't expecting an instant return, they know it's a long term project. There's been a few issues, like him staying out late then lying about it to the press when he was late for a press conference, but nothing really that suggests he wants to leave.

I thought the entire board had resigned? Thats why afaik. He's said he'll stay until the club hold elections in January, but he has no idea whether the new president will want him so won't commit any further.

Ah didn't know that bit. That happen in the last week? There was some talk that some Chinese consortium wanted to buy the club and that they don't want Coleman there. Will certainly be an interesting one to watch. General consensus in Spain at the moment seems that while he's not setting the league alight, he's doing the best he can with the resources at his disposal.

When Eric Black was manager at Coventry, he did a fantastic job. Only went because our chairman was an idiot, he wanted Peter Reid in charge for some reason. If Black gets the job, I really wouldn't be suprised if Birmingham finish above 16th.

Le Sib seems lucky to be able to manage 20mins at the moment.

Yeah. Had some thigh injury that has troubled him since the 3rd or 4th game of the season.

Hopefully this two week break will have given it time to heal. :thup:
