That is partly true to be fair, Bruce was getting a lot of love at the time. I remember posts claiming he was one of the best managers in the league, they'd kill to have him manage us etc and there was a lot of 'agent Brucie' talk about him rescuing Hatem and going to be getting the best out of him in this exciting Hull side he's putting together.
They cannot possibly be people in the literal sense.
Glad I missed that though as it sounds absolutely horrific
When you go and sign Tom Ince, Gaston, Hatem, Diame and Abel Hernandez you look at those and say hmm, some good quality players there - looks like an exciting team on paper.
