Armchair Pundit Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) The amount of years Bruce has been a manager for and got away with it is an incredible feat in itself. Even after being found out again and again, with the exception of his time at Hull and Wigan maybe (even a broken watch is right twice a day), it is utterly amazing! I can only assume Bruce's entire career has been possible by getting favours from people he's befriended and having an innate ability to target gullible club owners. I've worked with project managers like him who've drifted through their career, bullshitting their way in each job while knowing absolutely nothing, then moving on when they've been rumbled - but with Bruce he's had the bonus that football clubs actually have to pay him off when he's found out. Incredible. Edited August 18, 2022 by Armchair Pundit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinny Green Balls Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Part of the problem with why this turd can’t be flushed is this weird thing in English football culture that a lot of experience in a relegation scrap means that they are the best managers for relegation threatened teams. Bruce often found himself in relegation scraps strictly because he is dog shit at this. Being praised for your experience at being shit is just fucking bizarre. Yet so many buy into it since it is repeated like a mantra. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JumpersForGoalposts Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 In the same way there is a managers association and a players association, there should be an owners association, so they can blacklist cunts like Bruce.

Guest HTT II Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) Redknapp was 20 times the manager Bruce will ever be, to be fair. Played attacking football, actually won something, liked his flair players, bought well more often than not, improved players more often than not, wasn't dismissive of fans or the media and despite being a bit PFM, he evolved with the game in terms of modern tactics and stuff.

Wolfcastle Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) Including with two teams that should have been challenging for promotion (and were before and after him), Bruce has won 14 out of 55 in the championship. (37 out of his last 131 league games overall) *and this is being generous because after he was appointed at Sheffield Wed he took time off (not sure exactly when) but they were unbeaten for a couple month, won two of the last seven when Brucie was definitely around Edited August 18, 2022 by Wolfcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve always liked him, he’s probably one of the best British managers in the PL era, not a high bar I know, but his teams were always exciting to watch and without his time at Spurs, they wouldn’t be where they are today as a top 4/6 regular European team.

Absolutely. 100%. Took Spurs into the Champions League and had a good run in that period. Pretty sure he was the one that turned things around for Bale too and pushed him further up the pitch. They had stopped playing him at left back even, because he had this weird thing where they lost every game he featured in. Not to mention also that team he put together at Portsmouth that he won an FA cup with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 He was good with money backing him. Clearly an old school manager who was more about the relationship with the players over tactics. Most clubs he managed towards the end over-reached with spending and were in poor shape after he left though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
