The thing about Bruce is if he's got a squad of players who like him (ie the handful he signs everywhere he goes) his one 'tactic' of slapping backs and 'getting the lads up for it' at least has a chance of working. 

 

When he's got a squad who either are better than him, or just don't look up to him, then it winds up with a side who look completely without heart. 

 

When we conceded first under him I never felt we'd get back into games because the heart wasn't there and on the pitch there was no organisation other than running fast and what the players could put together themselves. 

 

Any good that came from that always seemed to me to be despite Bruce, not because of him. 

 

It works better the further down the leagues you go I would expect. Shitter players have lower expectations so a slap on the back, and joke with the tea lady will probably make for a happy camp in Div 1 or 2 which is where he belongs IMO. Personally I would't put him charge of a pub side but he's been in top level football for 20 years so maybe it's just me.

Theres generic football principles and there's targeted football principles which should drive a coherent style of play and what should be used to drive recruitment in respect to ensuring we have the individual players to be able to play the way our football plan is designed to win games. We have absolutely nothing to suggest that there is a plan. FUCK OFF.

It's terrible to judge people by their looks and so on but every time I see the fucker I just feel angry, he's an absolute embarrassment.

An unkempt shambling charlatan, the Boris Johnson of football.

Is Bruce the current fattest manager in the league? 

Has to be. 
 

in fact, find me a manager in the English professional football leagues that is as fat and unfit as him.

He reminds me a bit of a supply teacher you'd get in school. Won't really teach you anything, will try and be pally with you and let everyone just muck around.

 

Probably is popular with a lot of the players especially after coming in after someone as intense and demanding as Rafa.
