Why ya lying for Steve ? Steve Bruce has revealed that he bumped into former Sunderland owner Ellis Short a few years ago, and the American admitted that sacking the 61-year-old was his 'worst mistake' as owner. Bruce spent just over two years at the Stadium of Light after joining from Wigan Athletic, taking charge of 98 games, winning 29, drawing 27 and losing 42. He picked up an average of 1.16 points per game - he only averaged less points at Newcastle during his whole managerial career. After leading Sunderland to a top half finish in the Premier League in the 2010/11 season, he was sacked as Black Cats manager in November 2011, having won just two of his first 13 Premier League games in the following campaign, and Short has admitted to Bruce that relieving him of his duties was a mistake. "Dave being Dave [Whelan, former Wigan Athletic owner], he encouraged me to take the next step after we had sold too many players to finish in the top 10 again," Bruce said in an exclusive interview with the Telegraph. "I went with his blessing to speak to Niall Quinn at Sunderland. It was a big decision on a personal level because I was a Geordie and a Newcastle fan growing up, but I knew Niall was a proper football person, which is key. The relationship between CEO and manager has to be good or you don’t get that stability. "We had two good years there: the only top 10 finish since Peter Reid, their highest finish in a decade in the top flight. I had a great strikeforce: Asamoah Gyan, Danny Welbeck, Darren Bent and Fraizer Campbell. Within six months, we didn’t have any of them - that spelt trouble. And it did - I got the sack! I bumped into Ellis Short, the owner at the time, a few years ago. The biggest compliment he could pay me was he said: “I shouldn’t have sacked you, it was the worst mistake I ever made as owner.”

Boom lol

IF the eagle comes down to the handler from the stand on the 1st game of the season folklore has it Benfica will win the league that year Ive been in the original stadium of light & their immediate neighbours Jose Alvalde or (Benficas toilet as described by its roof shape by Force Benfica) a few times, one of the times the 1/4 final 2004/5 the week after the Bowyer / Dyer scrap, a magnificent place to watch football both grounds & the friendliest supports ive been amongst Magnificent city

Honestly cant see that holding much gravitas Johnny, the man is imo the worst person we've ever had connected to the club, he will get little if no sympathy, compassion or empathy & I should imagine a huge %age of supporters will take every opportunity to slate him. Sorry but thats how it is with him, complete snake imo.

Strongly disagree

Wet paper towel sort that

Fantastic, absolutely fantastic & thanks for sharing

Everything about Bruno screams Newcastle legend, a huge proportion of the credit would also go to Work Eddie for how hes ingratiated him into the group / team, man management from the higher echelons of world football, previous managers would of chucked him way before EH probably to satisfy their own ego or save their skin, not EH his own calm, collected confidence oozes through the group, Bruno without doubt will go down as one the best signings we've made In the modern era & for me the best part is we've only just begun.

Wor Eddie is "one of the most important managers that we've had in the last 100 years"

Big fine coming his way I think 12 pack of Marathons, 1/4 Midget gems & a family size fruit & nut minimum
