Hull City boss Steve Bruce believes it is crucial Ole
Gunnar Solskjaer is given time to stamp his mark on Cardiff City.
Cardiff, 19th in the Premier League, have managed just
one top-flight victory since the Norwegian was handed the reins at the start of
the year.
The lowest point of his brief tenure came on Saturday,
when Bruce's Hull left the Cardiff City Stadium as 4-0 victors.
Bruce was forthright afterwards, though, in suggesting
Solskjaer should be given every chance to succeed, insisting the incentive for
former players to go into management is diminishing.
"I am delighted that somebody like Ole has gone into
management," he said. "If we are not careful, and we keep saying this
week in and week out, we are going to discourage people like Ole Gunnar.
"He has had a wonderful playing career, is an
enthusiast of the game and wants to stay in the game.
"He needs to be given time to let him manage and
that goes for everybody. When you see the turnover of managers we have
repeatedly in this country, it's ridiculous.
"If we are not careful, we are going to turn people
away. People like Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville are working in the media
because of the uncertainty of management.
"If we are not careful, we will not have any
up-and-coming young ones. It is a tough time for him but he is made of stern
stuff and I wish him well."
