We need to start planning towards next season in the Championship - starting NOW.

We cannot do this whilst we keep fannying around with the fans trying to be all mysterious over Steve Bruce's future.

I don't think anyone truly knows what is happening at the club.

Usually, when a player leaves, there is an article on the website stating so. However there has been no mention of anyone leaving (except Jarosik) which leaves everyone in confusion?!

I want to be in the know with my club.

I'd like to know how many more of you feel totally in the dark, like me. I'm fed up of opinions - I want some feedback on what's happening from the board and from the club.

It's all too hidden for me.

The news coming out of the Blues is not so suprising. We've never been well updated. On the odd occasion they suprise us, but generally, we hear things from other sources first.

They do like to imform us pretty early about season tickets tho. The Albion appear to be way behind on that one.

What is worrying tho is other teams are busy making plans, busy putting in offers, trying to rebuild and we are still deliberating over a managers future. Despite the annoucement that we have made enquiries for players, which with the managers future in question appears to be very strange, unless Sullivan fancies the job.

Anyhow as they say no news is good news, maybe they are busy behind the scenes, or then again are they all on holiday again like last the start of last summer? :unsure:

hmmm - im just not happy.

The fan's deserve to be notified on what the heck is happening.

The site doesn't explain anything and we're living off scraps from the gutter press and odd football websites run by a range of numbskulls from Manchester.

To be honest, it ain't on.

I find it strange we are bidding for players when the managers future is hanging in the balance.

Do the board think they can buy players then put any manager in charge, or does it mean that Bruce's furture IS here.

How can you support SB, yes support BCFC but not SB, he is not the manager we want at Blues, if any one does then you will not mind being relegated again with SB.
BRUCE OUT NOW!!!!

no ones getting the point of this thread!!!

Does anyone feel any clarity on what is going on at Blues?! Does anyone know what is happening?! Does anyone feel enlightened with information from Wast Hills/St.Andrews?!

Plus - don't you think us fans deserve more info, or are you guys content to be in the dark?!

Cos im getting restless. I wana know what's going on at my club!!!


Plus bluenose54, can we stop with the broken record?!

Bruce Out, Bruce Out, Bruce Out, Bruce Out, Bruce Out, Bruce Out, Bruce Out, Bruce Out, Bruce Out, Bruce Out, Bruce Out, Bruce Out, Bruce Out, Bruce Out, Bruce Out, Bruce Out, Bruce Out, Bruce Out, Bruce Out, Bruce Out, Bruce Out, Bruce Out, Bruce Out, Bruce Out, Bruce Out, Bruce Out, Bruce Out, Bruce Out, Bruce Out, Bruce Out, Bruce Out, Bruce Out, Bruce Out, Bruce Out, Bruce Out, Bruce Out

JUST SHUT UP! for gods sake.

Steve Bruce is a very good manager and I am sure that with the right coaching staff implementing the correct training methods - we will succeed.

Mark, the only thing thats stopping the Bruce quitting announcement is the size of the compensation package, he's gone - we all know that, its just the fine detail that needs to be sorted

Probably reading too much into it but on the clubs official statement in reply to KCs tirade it does say "It is the chairmen and the board who will be here next season picking up the pieces"...no mention of the manager.

That's your opinion, that your trying to pass off as fact. Could well be the truth but I doubt it, I expect him to be managing us next year

To address the original point, in my opinion the reason there is no clarity is because of financial considerations.

The club is busy attempting to sell Championship season tickets at Premiership prices. If they were to reveal, for example, that half the team were leaving, no money would be made available for a meaningful promotion campaign, there were/were not plans to replace the manager, they were looking to sell their shares, or any one of a million other things that could be happening, how would that affect ST sales?

Right now their tactic seems to be, 'keep quiet and flog as many over-priced tickets as possible'.

For if we were to know the plans (supposing some do actually exist), they may not be very inspiring.

Will, we're all trying to hijack it. Sssshhhhh I want citizenship, i heard it s the best way to get it. ;)

I personally think, not much is going on until they reconverge for another meeting. They meaning, Sullivan, Gold, Karen and Bruce.

They had the first meeting and no cut and dry decision was made about Bruce's future. Until thats sorted, despite, numourous statements over the past 6 months, unti lthats decided, how can we do anything else.
