Would you like to see him offered a new 3 year deal?
Personally I would. Think he's doen a cracking job and don't think we'd have to worry about being relegated again while he's in charge
 
Without doubt. He's doing a decent job, and who could we get in better?

When you consider half his time has been concerned with shipping out the likes of Murphy I think he's been great.
 
Wait until the summer and we'd be vulnerably to losing him with the compensation not up to much. I don't know what he has to do to convince anyone he's the right man to take us forward. We look a quality outfit this season. Best I've ever seen by some distance.
 
Get him tied up. He's already said he fancies the England job, and I'm pretty sure the FA said they would appoint an Englishman next time, so we want some canny compo if he goes.
 
Hold your horses. If we don't do too well in the next 2 or 3 games, the majority of the board will be calling for his head..........again.
 
Whilst we are far from the finished article I believe Bruce has done a fantastic job and an extension is by no means out of the question.
Remember when he arrived we had only survived relegation by the skin of our teeth and had a bloated squad full of deadwood. We are a million miles from that team now and even the most pessimistic Sunderland supporter can't see us returning to the bad old days any time soon.

Agree. I can't think of a better time following Sunderland so long may it continue.
 
Very interested to see how we play against the shitter teams coming up then we'll know where we are at and how far we have come since last season. Infact it was one year ago this weekend we beat arsenal then didn't win again for 4 months.

I'd delay any contract talks till january at the earliest.
 
Realistically, if anyone wants Bruce (eg. Chelsea, Man Utd, Arsenal, England, Man City) they'll stump up the money to get him whatever his contract. If the likes of Spurs, Everton, Villa come sniffing, extend it then.

To be fair a lot of that was down to the injuroes to Gordon and Cattermole and the inadequate replacements available to Bruce. I can't see any reason why that would happen now that he's got two good options for every position.
 
Why? He's built a cracking team that will almost certainly finish top half and possibly top 7 or 8. Tie the manager down and it's settling for the players and warns of potential suitors.

Also in the past Bruce has had no problem leaving a club should a better offer come along. A long contract with a large amount of compensation should he be approached may just frighten off a potential suitor.
