Now Im going to play Devil's advocate and say ok we lose our next 6 games and for whatever reason it is decided that Bruce has to go. Could the current Power Struggle have any effect on things? If Yeung plans on having the club bought out in a matter of months, surely he would want a say on who comes in, and if it was not someone he was too keen on would he be happy to offer a two or three year contract to them? But on the flip side, Golds and Sullivan would have eventual say as they are majority shareholders. Also if you were a potential manager would you want to agree to manage a club who's future is up in the air?

On the other hand. Given the level of performances would we do any worse without a manger at all?

We could have a raffle each week down St Andrews. Two quid a go, the winner gets to manage the team the following week. Could generate some much needed revenue. I personally would like to see Jackoblue have a shot to show us how it should be done..

Yes why not lets go with that idea **thumbup

I think you will find most stick to their views, either in or out, and don't keep changing sides. The difference is the type of thread / poster that is more prevalent after a game depending on the result and or performance.

I am not calling for Bruce to be sacked (just yet) but there must come a time where lack of results, poor performances, naff tactics and dimishing crowds must force the board into action, just wonder when the tipping point will be reached?

I fear it will be relegation again that will be the tipping point but who knows even then he might not be sacked.

But can anyone see a new owner shelling out millions to watch a side slide straight back down again?

Bruce has assembled according to him anyway "the best squad he has seen here" so hopefully with everyone fit and available results will improve.

They have to surely????????????????????

I think I prefer it when we have a poor squad. Every time we have the 'best one' we seem to be relegated :D

84 wasn't a bad season to my recollection, we finished poorly didn't we, which was sent us down.

Not nearly as bad as 89....relegation to the third tier of English football for the first time in our history....now that WAS bad.

Don't even get me started on the early - mid 90's!

Keep him. He clearly has a plan for the group of players he has bought together from here, there and everywhere.

Building a team is like putting together a jigsaw and I doubt very much any other manager would no where to start with this squad.

Give him till January, if its not working out bring in a new manager and back him.

No manager will do any good with this Board, its their lack of ambition that is the problem. The fact is their budget is enough to compete in the championship, but falls seriously short for the Premiership. If eventually Steve goes because of bad results, the main factor will be lack of investment from the owners.I am not saying that SB is the best manager, but I now believe we have one of the worst Boards.. They have the money, but lack the commitment and the ambition to own a Premiership club. They just want to take as much money as they can and run. I havnt lost faith IN SB yet, but I have lost complete faith in our owners

That is not quite true. Yes this season they have been tight but I with selling on the horizon I can understand, if not support, the reason.

Previously Bruce has been backed heavily, part of the reason he has done a poor job. Last season we were far and away the biggest spenders in the division, until Sunderland had a big splurge in January. In previous prem seasons we often spent more than most.

Bruce has almost always had tremendous backing. The board have a lot to answer for but you can't accuse them of not backing the manager in the transfer market.

We are not being allowed to buy the quality, 12 teams in the premiership have spent over £20 million this summer and we are not one of them. Last year the board didnt back Bruce, they backed themselves, they invested to get us in the premiership so we they could sell and take yhe money, they couldnt even get that right and have now left us in Limbo. Yes we were backed in the premiership, but they soon sold the jewels when we were relegated.
