Wolfcastle Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) “He didn’t do too bad in the circumstances, with the owner and everything else… end of.” The owner even someone as stupid as Bruce had to know was ruining this club and loathed by its fans but for whom he couldn't wait to betray Sheffield Wednesday to come and be the p1ss boy of. Despite being told intimately by people like Shearer and able to gage how utterly undesireable he was to the fans. With whom he cooked up the scam of getting a huge pay off from future owners to get rid of after getting overemployed beyond his level to begin with based on nothing to do with football. Now, £8million later, he's implied to be a bad owner to make Bruce look less 5hit. Edited July 29, 2022 by Wolfcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantail Breeze Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 He was miles worse than Pardew. At least Pardew knew he was an utter cunt and revelled in it.

That's typical fucking Bruce, bigging himself up and rewriting history. When he talks about his time with us he should maybe talk about the squad he had in the Championship and that he failed to get us promoted with it. That also masks the fact that in his entire time with us, we played football devoid of any shape or tactics, a team just sent out there with a 'do your best, lads' and fingers crossed it works out. I knew what would happen as soon as he rocked up at your place. He's so fucking predictable. Didn't he try flogging him to Boro for Jordan Rhodes?

It might take a decade, a bit like Sunderland, but I hope one day people can say: “He didn’t do too bad in the circumstances, with the owner and everything else… end of.” The worst and most hated Newcastle United manager EVER in my opinion.

How he managed to be manager of both Aston Villa and Birmingham, Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United and Newcastle and Sunderland is baffling. Three of the fiercest rivalries in English football. Not only that but is hated by the fanbase of all of them. Even now at West Brom literally a few miles from Villa Park and big rivals. Who are Hull City's biggest rivals? That'll be his next job. Edited July 29, 2022 by gazzaA2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As if not only should we appreciate watching truly awful football, we should consider ourselves lucky. Fuck that. There was absolutely no need to throw a cabbage at him mind.

RUHRLYASLEEVESUP Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Why ya lying for Steve ? Steve Bruce has revealed that he bumped into former Sunderland owner Ellis Short a few years ago, and the American admitted that sacking the 61-year-old was his 'worst mistake' as owner. Bruce spent just over two years at the Stadium of Light after joining from Wigan Athletic, taking charge of 98 games, winning 29, drawing 27 and losing 42. He picked up an average of 1.16 points per game - he only averaged less points at Newcastle during his whole managerial career. After leading Sunderland to a top half finish in the Premier League in the 2010/11 season, he was sacked as Black Cats manager in November 2011, having won just two of his first 13 Premier League games in the following campaign, and Short has admitted to Bruce that relieving him of his duties was a mistake. "Dave being Dave [Whelan, former Wigan Athletic owner], he encouraged me to take the next step after we had sold too many players to finish in the top 10 again," Bruce said in an exclusive interview with the Telegraph. "I went with his blessing to speak to Niall Quinn at Sunderland. It was a big decision on a personal level because I was a Geordie and a Newcastle fan growing up, but I knew Niall was a proper football person, which is key. The relationship between CEO and manager has to be good or you don’t get that stability. "We had two good years there: the only top 10 finish since Peter Reid, their highest finish in a decade in the top flight. I had a great strikeforce: Asamoah Gyan, Danny Welbeck, Darren Bent and Fraizer Campbell. Within six months, we didn’t have any of them - that spelt trouble. And it did - I got the sack! I bumped into Ellis Short, the owner at the time, a few years ago. The biggest compliment he could pay me was he said: “I shouldn’t have sacked you, it was the worst mistake I ever made as owner.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
