Interesting that supposedly retired manager Steve Bruce was not considered for any of the recent premier league jobs but is supposedly in talks for the WBA post right now 🤔

[lost]

For whatever reason there seems to be a class of "yo-yo club" managers or at least managers who are perceived to be able to achieve mid to lower half finishes in the premiership with clubs that may enter or be in danger of entering that bracket.

Thing is you can't really blame the bigger clubs for not considering them as Moyes at Man Utd, Hughes at City and Hodson at Liverpool didn't really show the "turd polishing" managers are that great at managing the bigger names with ego's though I know Hodson did have some success in Italy. The route to the top jobs in the prem seems to be to show you can manage "names" in the German, Italian or Spanish leagues first.

Meanwhile Clyde where Goodwillie had been playing without much fuss for the last four years look sheepishly at the floor.

I mean he is hardly a neutral, he is just trying to drive up the price of a player West Ham are likely to sell. While not agreeing with the comment, I can understand why he makes it.

it only works if the player plays tothe level of  those words: a match like yesterday's is the perfect opportunity for the player to show himself as really that good.
