jackyboy Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Bruce managed for 1000 games, never improved and learned nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) Bruce had one more game in the Premier League than Rafa had right? One inherited a team in disarray and in the relegation zone and with miniscule backing left them midtable looking upwards The other inherited a team in midtable and with reasonable backing left them in the relegation zone in total disarray. So rests Rafa v Bruce 2016-2021 Edited October 20, 2021 by Wolfcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Class player too My brother in law used to work with him at NUFC and speaks highly of him, he used to write for the main site too, delighted he’s doing well for himself.

Funny its those with zero actual insight or just buddies with Bruce peddling the garbage. Been a nice, know who your friends are experience lol.

Klaus Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 All the plastic pundits are saying, is he finished 12th and claim he has done a good job.

It’s myopic shite. £8 million quid for failing miserably at his job/not even bothering to turn up some of the time, man. EIGHT MILLION! I note this is being conveniently overlooked by all his pals in cushy pundit jobs. It beggars belief how lucky he's been. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But being thick and truly hopeless Bruce laps all that up. Edited October 20, 2021 by Wolfcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was so little structure they didn’t know what to expect or how toplay against us. Completely supports the theory of “luck”. there a quote for that? amazing Edited October 20, 2021 by mrmojorisin75 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 1 hour ago, St. Maximin said: I would say ever so slightly in his defence that the fans didn't take to him initially and Rafa would have been a tough act to follow even if Bruce was to conduct himself professionally. The way he left Sheffield Wednesday justifies the animosity though, but funnily enough everyone overlooks that. The fans for the most part were prepared to give him a chance when he came in, you can't really go off posters on NO, we aren't really typical fans. Most of us judged him on his record - which was shit - whereas the average punter would think he's alright, and he's from here so he'll know what we're about.

Aye now he’s is a proper fan Bruce, unlike you. And he is even prepared to be banned for speaking the truth. We need more journos and ex players holding the club, manager and players to account like Hope has done from day one. Again, delighted he’s now becoming or is a top journo and seemingly a go to person for NUFC in the media. One of us! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s one selfish, narcissistic, shameless, egotistical, arrogant bully who doesn’t give a fuck about anyone or anything other than Steve Bruce.

Thank fuck none of us are his mate and nor he ours, anyway I’m done with Bruce now, he’s history. He can rot away for all I care. I wouldn’t wish him on any other club mind, well apart from his other United… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
