toon25 Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago Good point made by @Shays Given Tim Flowers with regards to the defensive solidity/foundations laid by Rafa saving Bacon's bacon in the initial few weeks. Didn't take long to wear off given the absolute gulf in quality of training/tactical organisation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago Sir Bobby said that a managers success could be judged by leaving the club in a better position than when you arrived. By this metric Benitez was a huge success whereas Bruce was a significant failure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycap Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago I've never known a manager come to a club like Bruce did and slag of benitez nearly every week it seemed. Whether it was formations or fans liking the fella he loved a good twist. 😂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago Brucey also spent over a year saying he didn't know how to change Rafa's system. Howe came in within 1-2 games and had us playing differently. Took a few games to get a result but the change in style was day/night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
