    If they do get bruce id be shocked if they just dont go for broke next season and spend spend spend. Getting promoted wipes out any ffp consequences

    Chansari has already said that they won't be doing that. Besides, if they did and failed to go up, they'd almost certainly end up bankrupt.

    Always been a overated manager living off his reputation as a player. Only ever goes where he's going to have money to spend. Won't see him choose to be in the lower leagues like Phil Brown did to get back in to the game after all he did for Hull.

    Still hated here in Huddersfield for how he managed them in the Barry Rubbery days when they nearly went bust having Andy Booth, Kenny Irons and Ken Monkou all on 10k a week. Also sold top scorer Marcus Stewart to promotion rivals Ipswich when his goals were going to get them to the top flight.

    I loved this. On Wikipedia so must be right, offered to buy my Wednesday supporting mates some cabbages LOL.
    "On 2 October 2018, Villa surrendered a two-goal lead, drawing 3–3 at home to bottom club Preston North End. One spectator threw a cabbage at Bruce and there were calls from home fans on the Holte End for Bruce to go.[185] The following day, he was sacked by Villa after a poor run of form"

    Which gets you nowt to be fair.
    He had parachute payments and could pay higher wages than most, if not all.
    Couldn't quite find a winning formula even with all that talent at his disposal.

    Suppose so but there are a lot of teams in the championship spending what they haven't got.

    No doubt they should have gone up with what they spent but it's a hard league.

    Can't see him doing much at Wednesday with nothing to spend.

    When I saw Bruce was to be the new Boss at Wednesday, I wondered how they’d managed to attract the New Jersey based music legend to run their shambolic team. But then I remembered they are a massive club, so I suppose anything’s possible.
