On the grounds that you make your apinion based on the one posting that comes to hand, not on the views expressed in other threads. As I said, I have defined my reasons for wanting Bruce to stay several times. so have others It is wrong to make the assertion that you did about lack of reason. |

What Bruce has done good for us this season: kept us in with a fighting chance against relegation and put some heart back into the team. He has coped with an unbelievable amount of injuries to key players (who seem to get injured by just tripping over blades of grass). Yes the injuries are an excuse. But an extremely valid one. |

1. Stability doesn't seem to have done Norwich much good nor other teams who have been relegated in past seasons. 2. Please produce ANY evidence that he has EVER been in a position to "reject" Newcastle. All I've ever seen is press speculation that maybe (just maybe) newcastle might be thinking about approaching him. 3. And pray tell me who bought those unfit palyers in the first place. 4. The board HAVE backed him as has been shown numerouse times on this board to extent of £25,000,000 net (5 times what Bolton have spent). And when have we ever heard him say that he was looking at left backs or centre-halves??? 5. No hassling someone out of a job is illegal - But not only has he broken a pay structure that all previous managers under the current board had to obey but he has also run down the reserves. |

1. Stability doesn't seem to have done Norwich much good nor other teams who have been relegated in past seasons.= we can all quote examples of where stability has worked and where sacking managers and getting new managers have worked- this is a pointless argument. 2. Please produce ANY evidence that he has EVER been in a position to "reject" Newcastle. All I've ever seen is press speculation that maybe (just maybe) newcastle might be thinking about approaching him- there was talk that Bruce had been offered a job with Newcastle and he refused. There is no documented evidence both ways so pointless argument again. 3. And pray tell me who bought those unfit palyers in the first place.- zett, Dunn, Stan, Uppy, Nafti etc etc were all fit when they bought- is he supposed to have a crystal ball as well?? 4. The board HAVE backed him as has been shown numerouse times on this board to extent of £25,000,000 net (5 times what Bolton have spent). And when have we ever heard him say that he was looking at left backs or centre-halves???- yes we have spent well in the last few years but any team that has come from the pop league and is trying to establish themselves has to invest in better players...Bolton have been in the premiership for a number of years and have no doubt spent this amount of money over time...but again we have been unlucky with injuries. 5. No hassling someone out of a job is illegal - But not only has he broken a pay structure that all previous managers under the current board had to obey but he has also run down the reserves.- and you know this for fact? |

If you are going to try and put your superior intellect to good use and belittle someone who is probably a youth at least make the effort to use English. The words you are looking are “that’s” or “that is” and “you are” or “you’re.” If you want to value no other opinion apart from your own I suggest a career in politics. ;) |

not going to argue most of your post but the injury section. uppy had long periods out while at arsenal, dunn has a horendous injury history, stan the same over the last couple of years befor SB injuries have left him out for long periods. izzet and nafti i think are the only one you can say never had any injury douts over pryor to his signing but the others have quite a chequerd history. |

I'm bored with all of this - Brucie took us up and has struggled with injuries and Krap luck Notlob only just stayed up (last game of season as I recall) and look at them now. If the mangler was sacked each time they had a bad season there wouldn't be any manglers for more than two seasons at a club. One of those two seasons has to be worse than the other. Once bruce has a season with few injuries and can play a settled side for more than 2 games then I'll make decisoin as to whether he should be sacked or not. Now I'm going back into hibernation while people slag him off at a time when he actually needs our support. |

The point I'm trying to make, not very well, is that Bolton stayed up on the last day of the season. They only just made it as hopefully we will. But they stuck with the manager despite the close relegation call and, as you say, are now into Europe. this year's sack him is next years European honours manager. |

David Dunn stats does not strike me as a player who had a horrendous injury record before he joined the blues 98-99 Blackburn Rovers 1 Goals, 15 Games (-) 99-00 Blackburn Rovers 2 Goals, 22 Games (-) 00-01 Blackburn Rovers 12 Goals, 42 Games (-) 01-02 Blackburn Rovers 7 Goals, 29 Games (-) 02-03 Blackburn Rovers 8 Goals, 28 Games 3 Games (UEFA Cup) One appearance for England and 19 for the U19. He was born Dec 1979 so probably made his debut at 18. All this adds up to the fact that the bloke only sustained a serious injury when he joined the blues and people cannot blame Bruce for that as its part and parcel of football. |

he has a known history of injuries, thats why he only had one game for england. probably not as bad as while he has for us but definatly a history. why would he leave his home town club otherwise.? souness na maybe souness was sick of him having injuries and cut his losses. |

dr nick I cannot see where you are backing up your claim that Dunn was injury prone before he joined us. If you cast your mind back it appeared that Dunn fell out with Souness and he sounded gutted he had to leave his home town club. It’s not unusual for players and managers to fall out. The reason he probably hasn’t added to his 1 England cap was he didn’t push on when he joined us because he got injured and the proven midfield talent available at the time. Now unless you are going to come up with some startling fact I am unaware of you need to except his major injuries started after he joined us and he wasn’t considered injury prone at Blackburn. |
