relámpago blanco Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I hope Hatem tears every team he faces apart, which he probably will. Come on hatem show Pardew how much of a tool he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Bruce is massively underrated as a manager. I'm interested to see how Mark Hughes progresses at Stoke, given I still think he has done more good jobs (blackburn, Wales, Fulham) than bad. Nah, he is no better then Pardew. We are now that low Steve Bruce has become massively underrated. :lol: :lol: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG32 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 he is considerably better than pardew tbh Nah, not for me. Another shitter kicker who packs a midfeild out and plays a defensive game. His teams always start off well then thunder down the league aftert Christmas. You can see it with every team he has been at in the prem. He barely ever makes the top 10 with his teams and his football is fucking shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny1982 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Bruce is massively better in fat he can set a balanced team up, doesn't play half the team of of position to shoe-horn in his favourites, and isn't an arrogant, obnoxious prick. He does look like a emotional dinner lady though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Bruce showed up Pardew completely in the home match last season. Sure he's not an Ancelotti but he's tactically aware and doesnt talk s****, 2 things completely beyond our current manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG32 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Pardew went to hull last season, headbutted a player and got sent off. Still guided his side past a well set up bruce side. I also seem to rememmber playing allsorts of players out of pisition during his sunderland days. he was fcking sacked by sunderland for being utter shit. we are at an all time low. we really are.

Tiresias Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I wasn't a fan but think he's doing good stuff with Hull so fair play to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I wasn't a fan but think he's doing good stuff with Hull so fair play to him. Same really, I never rated him but he's growing () into the role all the time IMO. Quite tactically flexible as well, doesn't seem to be wedded to any particular style or formation.

Foluwashola Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 He is the fat-headed embodiment of bog standard British management. And he drags his shit son around with him. Hull is about right for him. He's one of the best managers in the Premier League tbh. It's a shame Hull didn't progress in Europe this year because part of me can still see Bruce here one day, and it would be good if he had European experience by that point. As a manager he's done well wherever he has been, apart from the Mackems, which was obviously an horrendous appointment. They didn't progress in Europe because he completely forfeited the competition. An attitude I'm sure would not be welcomed here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Considering I'd be happy to take a manager that's worse than Pardew, just to oust the prick, I'd happily take one that's the same, if not better (which imo he is) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 they've been managing almost the exact same amount of time now btw, since 1998/99 there's always the possibility bruce is getting better as he gets older, we know this is categorically not the case for pardew i reiterate, bruce isn't a great manager or anything but he's far better at the basics of the game than pardew and we're in a situation where the basics of the game elude us week after week Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They tried to do what we did and played a weakened team but failed while we just barely scraped through thanks to a referee.

Mr Logic Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 All this Bruce talk seems wasted anyway. If Pardew gets sacked mid-season Ashley's highly unlikely to pay compo for anyone and Bruce wouldn't want to leave what he's just built at Hull with an owner that will back him more.

There's no doubt he's doing a good job at Hull like and I don't mind him as a person, but he didn't succeed when he reached the heady heights of Sunderland and not once in his 10+ years of management (pre-Ben Arfa) has anyone looked forward to seeing a Steve Bruce team play.

Hughesy Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I think it's more the fact that people immediately dismiss someone like Bruce - but when you actually analyse his record, it really isn't that bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
