That just it though. Lambert was a bloody good player and was coached by some very decent managers. Bruce was very good, managed by arguably the very best of all time. Both utter gash as managers.

And a good number of the most successful managers in our history were average players at best. Step forward Deano. Be the next SGT.

My money is on Adkins getting the heave ho from Hull leaving room (and there’ll need to be plenty) for Bruce to rejoin his former club in time for their return match with us at VP. By then let’s hope Smith has us firing and we can make Bruce suffer.

Imagine the laughs if Brentford sack the guy who's lost his first three and appoint Bruce. If we thought he was out of his depth here...
