Fuck off with your long termism
Maybe the SWC can get a chant going to this effect when we're losing at home again.

Fuck off with your long termism
This almost exactly describes my attitude too. Bruce's job is hanging by a thread, not because of the past, but because he's got to get those next results with basically a new team and now no Gyan. Hell of a challenge.
Yu' not wrong like.
Amazed the poll is so close tbh.
I'm not sure he'll survive a defeat from the next 3 games...
...particularly a home defeat.
- H v Stoke
- A v Norwich
- H v W.B.A.
If he goes though....
- Who could possibly come in?
- How will they lift the players instantly before the January window?
IMO, the Stoke match is just like the Bolton home game last season when we'd not won for 14. We need to get off to a flier to ease nerves on and off the pitch.
Maybe not on here, but I'm quite convinced this season is a clean slate as far as is overlords are concerned. We'll have to be in deep shit in a couple of months, looking like his new team is rubbish and/or he can't organise it, for him to get the chop.
Still in the 'Bruce in camp' as successful clubs dont chop and change their managers - although I accept that the debate is is Bruce a good manager and worth persevering with? However, he need results very quickly!
We need players playing in their correct positions, showing some commitment (and no not Bardsley stamping on people) and some attacking play with possibly two strikers for a start.
.....I dont honestly think that either approach is more likely to lead to success. It cant be denied that some managers deserve time, but others will be shit no matter how long you give them. The important thing is deciding which managers deserve time and which are dragging their club further down with every week. .....
Always thought that is a bit of a myth tbh, for a start Real Madrid are pretty f***ing successful and they change managers all the time. On the flip side Man United dont change managers and they are successful as well, although mainly because the one bloke they've had for years is one of the best managers of all time, maybe when he goes they will chop and change more and still be successful. Arsenal have had success but now have kept Wenger on and gone 6 years without winning anything whereas maybe a new manager would have brought them some success.

The important thing is deciding which managers deserve time and which are dragging their club further down with every week. One thing you need if you're going to give time to a manager is the feeling that there is some positive aspect of their management which makes them worth sticking with even if results arent going well. Bruce has the improving league positions (although the margins involved in last seasons positions prevent him from getting the kind of praise he would deserve if he actually established us as a clear top half side), and he has the ability to improve the squad for low outlay. Time will tell if these are enough to survive what will, if we dont pick up soon, be an incredibly bad second half of last season coupled with a bad start to this one, he'll just have to hope they are.
Stoke will absolutely muller us. Bruce is a dead man walking.
