Owls fan here, just a couple of things regarding Brunty and Irivne...or "Father Ted" as us owls affectionately know him as.
Brunty I think has been made cpt due to his long service at WB but It's sad that he seems to be the ire of fans ATM, whilst at Wednesday he was known for his inconsistency, whilst having a lot of talent...esp with his left boot but one week he'd be David Beckham then the next he'd be David Bentley. Would I take him back ATM? Well we need a CM who can make defence splitting passes and nice thorugh balls a create chances for our front 2 so Brunty as a no10. seems feesable but I wouldn't take him on current form plus we wouldn't afford his wages...or even a quarter of it. But you have to ask yourselves, is his bad form (and the rest of the team) down to the coaching abilities of Father Ted & Pepe Mel last season? Also he doesn't in my opinion have the right leadership qualities to be a cpt either so in essence it's down to the manager for keeping him as cpt...not Brunty as such, I think that if someone else is captain then Brunty might start finding form again once pressure is taken off him.
Father Ted shown ineptitude of the highest order whilst with us, his first 5 games we got great results but once we were found out in didn't know how to stop the rot and thus we ended up relegated and then struggled the season after till he was finally sacked. FT for me is a great coach...but NOT a manager, his philosophy was "don't lose"....not "go out and win" and Father Teds tactics may as well have been thought up by Dougal. There's absolutely NO winning mentality about him at all and I was amazed that he got the job at WB TBH, I just hope for your sakes that he is moved on and a manger like RDM comes in and not replaced by another "good coach" who cant manage.
