I have no sympathy for Bruce whatsoever, all this crap about one hand tied behind his back is just hot air, he constantly praises Ashley and Charnley, in the summer he made a slight remark about transfers through Edwards and they hit back with an unsigned letter.
Bruce shit himself and went straight back under Ashley's desk, his reputation could be saved in the North East if he joined in with his fellow geordies and fought against the ownership, however he loves money to much to the point where he thinks he deserves a pay off.
Working for Sports Direct United he probably does.
