pintor   32 #229 Posted August 6, 2019 Bullen now saying he's ready for the job, according to BBC sport site. Would be a good chance for you to get some points on the board against some unfancied teams and build confidence in the early games, before meeting better sides.

Might be worth giving it him till Xmas and see how he goes, no names mentioned really stand out so far. These first four games could be a decent indicator Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Brooker11 Â Â 10 #232 Posted August 6, 2019 I'd leave Bullen in for now, I do still have my reservations about him long term but give him a spell and see how it pans out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

By all accounts, the team's owner is wealthy enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Hotmale 1954   201 #235 Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) I'm not criticising anyone here, but the lack of dialogue/movement/printed media/rumours or ANYTHING coming out of Hillsborough seems very strange. The Bookies have stopped speculating. The Newspapers have forgotten that we don't have a Manager. Radio Sheffield have stopped asking Bullen about his, or the club's future. They have, at least, stopped publishing Bullen's comments. Are we in a Camouflaged Canoe, in the dead of night, slowly approaching the Bridge On The River Kwai? Or has DC fell down a massive hole and no-one's noticed it yet?  I suppose the Status Quo will be upheld when (or if) Bullen hits a rocky patch. We've started off quite well (albeit against alleged relegation fodder) so we're feeling a bit pleased and confident at the moment. Barnsley, though, didn't look like Relegation candidates to me, but their most recent loss looks pretty worrying for them. Millwall will be a harder test. I never expect to get owt at Millwall, and this weekend is no exception. Anything better than a loss will be great in my opinion. Edited August 16, 2019 by Hotmale 1954 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
pintor   32 #236 Posted August 16, 2019 This is difficult for Bullen, maybe he's thinking if he takes the job and ends up getting the sack he will be out of a job completely, new managers now come complete with their own back room team. Whilst ever hes in his current position he could have a job for life, equally there isn't as much pressure on him (he's only temporary), once he steps up to the plate, all eyes are on him, beating the two favourites for relegation is ok, and August doesn't look difficult on paper, but see how it goes when better teams come round in September Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
