If he doesn't get the South Korea job maybe North Korea would take him.

Like father like son.

 

Lack of loyalty runs in the family it seems.

Mandy backtracking on the Steve Bruce comments. Booooooo.

[GEFAFWISP]

Not surprising, was an unprofessional comment and needed to cover it off before Bacon Boy does owt.

We all know it's true though. The fact she said it in the first place shows what she thinks of him despite putting in the apology to cover off any potential action.

[Cf]

This is like the first time ever apart from his sacking that this thread getting bumped hasn't made me angry.

[Yorkie]

The bloke is beyond the pale, like.  Spent two years cryarsing about not being respected, whilst concurrently spending two years putting the minimum amount of effort into the cause, before being rewarded with an eye-watering financial windfall. Then when he's finally called out, he gets the lawyers on the blower. Because of course he has. A true grifter for the ages. 

[Kimbo]

It’s the way she worded it probably. She’s not in a position to say he didn’t want to work. She should’ve just said the squad was training half as much as the rest of the league.

 Makes my blood boil tbh Yorks, I envy people that don't hold grudges.

He’s among the most pathetic creatures I’ve ever had knowledge of. I used to hate Pardew more and I still find Pardew more unbearable in his arrogance but I think Bruce might well be a worse human being. He’s absolute scum dressed up as a Werthers Original 

[Likelylad]

I never thought I'd dislike a manager more than Pardew but that fat incompetent pig managed it. 

The fact he managed 3 separate direct rivals shows just what a cretinous mercenary he is.

It's his shameless laze that sets him apart. Plenty of bad managers but none that considered it a dream job, had done nothing to warrant it, struck a cracking financial deal to do it and then treat it like a chore between holidays whilst being utterly shameless about it.

 

[El Prontonise]

Great manager and man.  Don't see the issues with him.

[Menace]

Pardew was an obnoxious twat - Bruce was an entitled twat that acted a victim all the time. I'd much rather Pardew.

Bruce claiming his Geordie roots while.at the same time badmouthing 'his' fellow Geordies was absolutely patrionising cringey stuff.

[Paully]

By far my most hated manager -patronising, Manc twat! Utter wanker!

[Sean]

There was nothing worth hating by the time Bruce arrived at the club. Ashley had already seen to that a long time beforehand. I saw it as a tragi-comedy.

 

And boy was it funny.

[gbandit]

Genuinely can’t get my head round how people stayed engaged during the Bruce years. I was helped by having a baby during that time so it made it easier to check out 

[Groundhog63]

I'm old enough to remember Gordon Lee

[Geogaddi]

Bruce was far far worse than Pardew , Bruce was just a patronising bone idle lazy bastard happy to run the club he supposedly supported into the ground on behalf of Ashley, Pardew for all his faults was just a limited manager, I don't think anyone could ever accuse him of being bone idle or lazy and just fucking off on holiday whenever he fancied . At least we did also have a couple of decent seasons under him and he never pretended to be anything other than what he was . The weird thing is Pardew got way more stick than Bruce at games which I have never understood.
