IlseKoch Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Barely saw a single comment on a WBA forum that called out Bruce, or thought it was a bad appointment. Ashley gave his career a £6-8M injection. Worse than Pardew. League 1 was below Pardew at that stage. Avoiding relegation from the Championship was exactly Steve Bruce. In a parallel universe this creature wouldn't have survived the season at Sheff Wed, and wouldn't have had a job in football for years now. Walking out on Hull after play-offs, no PL team touched him. Couldn't get Villa up despite incredible talent and huge budget, sacked. No PL club would ever employ him after Hull, let alone being sacked from Villa. Sheff Wed hired him, then Alex and Steve watched England in Barbados upon his Dad's memories (Give over on that shite). Fuck him. I hope WBA do well enough to get to the play-off final, and Bruce and Son. get smacked up in the Play-offs by a side like Luton, Cov or Preston. I hope Bruce is managing between 6th and 18th at West Brom for as long as possible. Like slowly placing Maldon Sea Salt on a slug. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 I think some of his press fanboys still haven't realised that winning promotion from the second division a decade ago doesn't really count for much these days. Coaching has moved on, there are far better and more innovative managers in that division these days, I think best he will be able to do is midtable, and that would only be because WBA have better resources than most teams in the division. Really he's a third division manager now at best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 That is so Steve Bruce. You could tell he was coming to the end that last part of the second season back in the Premier League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty66 Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 That interview Shoulder shrugs as "its not my fault" Rolling those sleeves up Slagging off the players already saying not good enough and didn't take the chances, imagine being a player under him man, getting criticised for not performing well under his dinosaur tactics and then getting slated in public because of it Some beautiful man management at your new club there Steve, hope it all goes well for you pal.

Stottie Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I feel sorry for the WBA fans, but I shall revel in his every failing. The bloke let himself be a stick the media used to beat NUFC fans with, and put a few sneaky blows in himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely did Dropped a couple of "wuhs" in, but one of those was "roll wuh sleeves up" which was just pure muscle memory from the hundreds of times he spouted it with us.

Interpolic Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 There is not one bit of tactical detail in any of his responses. "We'll analyse it" presumably means another Steve will tell him what happened. Blagging a living. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I wonder if there's any resources out there that have tracked the longest winless streaks for a manager in professional football and how close he could get to such an achievement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groundhog63 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Always liked WBA. Maybe it was the dark stripes but I'm old enough to remember Laurie Cunningham, Cyrille Regis, Bryan Robson, John Trewick and Remi Moses. Incredible Bruce is there. Unbelievable Jeff.
