Steve Bruce (now managing Blackpool)


Recommended Posts

Citing the amount of games someone has managed is about as damning with faint praise as it gets. You see the appearance stats underneath a panelests' name on a football programme and you know it essentially means, without even being a dick about it, that they were average at absolute best and achieved nothing. It's the stats you see below the likes of Robbie Savage and Steve Claridge.

 

Bruce getting to over 1000 games is only an achievement in the sense that he shouldn't have managed anywhere near that many due to him being consistently absolutely shite.

Bit like a barber claiming he's done 1000+ haircuts, doesn't mean he's any more Vidal Fucking Sassoon than John 'the ear slicer' from Shields.

Surely the sport hasn't ever had a bigger (high profile) fraud than Bruce?


It's absolutely mind-blowing that anyone is prepared to give someone a job that pays such an extortionate amount of money, when a 5 minute Google would suggest it's an absolutely terrible idea. You literally need to do minimal research to come to the conclusion that he's not very good.

That ear slicer fella must be related to Nicky the Greek,he cut every school boys lug  in walker and often left the basin on ya heed while he went to place a bet.

Fucking weapon! 

 

As soon as tactics, analysis and attention to detail became the norm in football management/coaching, Bruce was finished. Most of his 'success' came 10-15 years ago and funnily enough he's been an abject failure ever since. Shame to let facts get in the way of a good story though, eh?!

Bet he’ll pop up in Qatar next month. Catch him the stands taking in a match, pundits will fawn over his “dedication” to the game.

 

The most charitable thing I can say about the man is that he was an average, Championship-quality manager for a time. Just a complete fossil who’s either refused to adapt to a new age of the game or is simply unable to do so…maybe if he had even the slightest bit of humility he wouldn’t be so throughly reviled for it.
