Robster Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 was he the only memeber of fergie's team not to be an international? Yeah. He's widely regarded to be one of England's best uncapped players. He was a good player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Footballers tend to be a bit thick. Good managers aren’t. Bruce was a footballer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 At least McClaren has had some success in his managerial career. Bruce’s greatest achievement is finishing 2nd in the Championship. FA Cup runners up trumps that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 You’d think he’d have picked up something from Fergie, like anything. But it’s almost like he just wasn’t paying attention for all of those years.. I'm not convinced Fergie would be a good manager these days anyway.

Guest Cheesy Beans Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 The Man Utd squad wouldn’t be full of Instagram influencers if he was in charge and that would almost certainly improve them even before you consider everything else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Ferguson always aligned himself with a good trainer/tactician and was adept at evolving with the times, he'd still be a top manager imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This 100%. He'd still be great. It's the one thing Bruce should have learned that would have served him very well. Instead all his coaches appear to be just as clueless as he is.
