right i was about to log off as i have swimming at 7am but decided to post this as im so angry at the anti bruce people that this post is priority over sleep atm. Some of the anti bruce brigade is funny because its so stupid (e.g.the one that sed hopes we lose so bruce goes! ludicrous) but people are going over the top I'd say thers a fair chance that the players read these boards and any negative comments must filter through to them. We're 2nd, playing football i.e. not long ball, have a young-ish team, 3 quality strikers (ok 1 on-loan) so what is the problem? Answer from anti-bruce: Bruce What can this man do. Get off his back, support the players because they need confidence. Can u imagine going out to play in front of people who will hammer you if you make one bad pass? Managers suffer too if you just hammer them. The players are getting nervous you can see that. Every time they lose the ball they go straight after it and often foul to save a blast from the fans, in reality. Of course this is down to bruce because its his fault the players make a wrong pass and he's telling them to give the opposition the ball. Its v.childish to just boycott the club because of one man. When u are watching the game you watch the players not the manager so why boycott because of him? Most fans are actually behind him but i hope the anti bruce brigade are getting the message that their wining and moaning is boring and your voices are small in the scale of a whole football club. And theoretically by wanting bruce out u are hoping that we lose games so he's sacked. What kind of fan does that? Life is too short to hold a grudge against a football manager, thers 6 billion people living today, life moves on |

I admire your loyalty to SB. The fact is however that his total mismanagement led to the woeful strike force we had assembled at the start of last season-ie Heskey-never a goalscorer but a class target man Pandiani his big summer signing!-it's best I say nowt or I'll be banned from the boards! Forssell-crock finding his way back Erm-that was it!! AND sold Morrisson who played out of his skin with Heskey but was bombed for the hapless Pandiani! That folks is the biggest reason we were relegated-if you can't score goals particularly at home you are relegation fodder....... Mr Bruce got us promoted-Mr Bruce is totally responsible for getting us relegated and back where we were before he came which is where we are now. Whether he gets the sack or not is up for debate but I would suggest he is walking a tightrope and the minute we suffer a loss of form and drop down a few places he will be gone :copno: |

so you want to stop bruce out threads , so you start yet another thread on the subject for people to make their point, is that not defeating your objective. |

I think you make some valid points Wythall but I don't understand why you think he'll get the sack. If he wasn't sacked for the relegation why would they sack him now ? |

Great attempt Seanis, but I think you underestimate the level of entrenchment in the 'we want Blues to fail camp'. I know how weird and frustrating it is, I feel much the way you do, but we have this problem at Blues, and it will take time if ever to go away. Meanwhile we will be a mediocre side. The one silver lining I can find is that with facilities like this board, at least the problem is getting discussed openly. If I'm right in my feeling, this has been a burden on our ability to succeees for ever. Keep up the good missionary work. |

Why sould use anti Bruce 'fans' have to keep quite ... we ALL support BCFC but do NOT have to 'back' this or any manager who we feel is not doing a good job. BCFC will be there a lot longer than Bruce or any other manager. :P |

Could you clarify who the "We want Blues to fail" camp are, Wisel? Is it those who support Bruce, or those who oppose him? I suspect either side would suggest it was the other... Still, it's nice to see that after two weeks away on holiday some things never change - like Damien Johnson getting red carded yet again and still receiving the unequivocal support of his manager! |

Agreed, well said. More focus needed on pre match and after match performances. And efforts concentrated on positive aspects and promotion. kro stephen |

When i saw the title of the thread i thought, what a great idea maybe peace and sensibility has been restored during the night and this place has regained its sense of humour, but alas my hopes were dashed its just another platform for the pro and anti to repost their already over stated views..oh well we can all live in hope :( |

No ~ because as I always do (well except for one very recent intentional lapse) I do not personalise my views. Mind, when someone says 'I hope we lose today so that Bruce gets sacked' whilst we are near top of the league, I think it starts to become very clear. I do not see two sides, I see many individuals having their own personal views. I see people who would like a change of management and those who want Bruce to stay but that is only one element of discussions that go on on this message board. The folk I have a problem with are the ones who find it OK to: - See everything that Steve Bruce (or anyone for that matter) does as totally wrong, and who will find ill in everything that goes on. - People who use abuse, hate, disrespect and bully to put their points over. (I have to say I feel that these people align themsleves more to the anti Bruce side merely because it is an easy target at this time, and I also think they undermine the rational views of people who have doubts about SB continuing as manager) - I have a new problem which is only recently becoming clear to me, and that is with posters who raise the bar unrealistically high and set that bar so that Blules almost invariably fail and they then feed themselves or other in the oportunity to 'have a go' - I have a very long held belief that we have more than our fair shqare of 'fair weather supporters' and people who find it impossible to support in bad time, and who will become very vocal and appear supportive when things are going well. But I have to ask people to be their own critics, as I think personal attacks do nothing to promote any progress, people just get into defend-attack spirals and the whole thing become destructive. So, no I will not personalise the comment. |

Then the debate will move on to the next focus for the unsupportive fans that we have to endure. |

For me Bruce should be long gone,yes we are second in a very poor league,but with have the best and most expensive squad in this division,yet we haven't really outplayed/battered any side in the 11 games played this season,we have a great squad and a poor manager time fir him to go now. **thumbup |

I will tell you what you can do - stop creating threads that have anything to do with the subject as they will always but always turn into a slanging match - STOP CREATING MORE !"£$ THREADS! - as for bluenose54 he should be banned for life - his declaration yesterday that ''he hopes blues lose' is an absolute ******* disgrace...he is no more a blues fan than randy learner is!!! |

thing is this is a place to express your opinons. i do think that it should be conducted in a sencible way by debate. if anything upsets you i sudjest you dont read it (we all know what these threads contain by the title). to many on here would rarther just insult the person that they disagree with without putting anything forward to the debate. a bit more contrl is needed i think. |

Perhaps a good start would be for the pro-Bruce crowd to acknowledge that the anti-Bruce crowd are simply passionate Blues fans with a different view point, rather than questioning their loyalty. What do you think? |

I wont comment more on Bruce you all know what i think of the man, i would just like to say i read the thread "I hope we lose so Bruce will go" I have read the replies to this which range from a suggestion of banning the poster from the board to saying he is not a Bluenose. Have any of you who replied in vociferous terms thought about how utterly depressed and hacked off with the situation at this club someone must be to say that??, i myself have thought along similar lines myself this year, so does that make me a Viler as well? We now have threads saying "lay off Bruce etc" "we are all bored etc" Dont some of you people think that there are people on the other side of the fence who are sick and tired of hearing " give him time" "give him till xmas" "its not his fault" Cant we all just agree to disagree, after all this is a forum for debate, be it good or bad, and everyone has a right to express their opinions, we all have our differing views and nobody on this board should be telling people to shut up about anything. A similar thing when TF left the club occurred, i wanted him out as well, judged purely on results and the playing situation at the time. For me now is the same Bruce should go , not because i "hate" him or think badly of him, this is a results game and shouldnt be brought down to a personal level. We all get judged on our performance at work through one way or another so why shouldnt Bruce be the same?? And as been said if people dont like what is being said quite simply dont read it!!!! |

Experience of what exactly, if that is a reference to his managerial career he has plenty of experience of sackings and resignations but little else, and please refer to his managerial record to verify this |

Excellent post mate, and whilst admiring the squad SB, Black and the board have put together, I guess 90% of the managers in this league would be able to gain automatic promotion with the said team. Mind you I am not sure Bruce would be in the 90% |
