Bruce done and dusted then.

I'll be honest, he wouldn't have been my choice. Probably not even in my top 50...

But to try to be balanced and find the positives...

He does know what it takes to get out of his league. He's got a more pragmatic style, so it means tweaks to our current setup rather than wholesale changes. Fair enough he's not noted for particularly good football, but I do believe we will be better to watch than under Ismael. While I'd have loved us to pick someone who plays open and expansive football, I'm not sure we've got the players so with the window closed, this might be a more sensible short term appointment.

He's on a shorter term deal so if he doesn't improve us we can easily make a change in the summer and give a manager with a different style the entire summer window.

If he does exceed my expectations, then that's a bonus.

Plus it can't possibly be as bad as it was getting under the previous regime!

Makes even less sense about Snodgrass going now, because he performed pretty well for Bruce in the Championship. Shame about that one.
