I'm going to call him Steve The Bruce as we always do well under Scottish managers.

Like.

A pragmatic choice in the circumstances. Wish him all the best. Always comes across as an articulate and respectful guy.

Certainly a baptism of fire in his first few games; hoping the new manager bounce kicks in!

Any names out there available that he knows could bolster the squad like Warnock has done at Cardiff??

I hope that he exceeds expectations, takes us up first time and then lifts us to the brink of European glory. Sadly, I fear, he'll be betrayed on the eve of the 2019 Champions League final in Rome by his mercurial new Cameroonian assistant.

Eto'o, Brucie?

A mate of mine (Villa) was out in Birmingham 2 or 3 years ago for a very expensive meal for his girlfriend's anniversary.

Midway through the meal, he popped out to the toilets and found himself stood shoulder to shoulder with Bruce himself. No word of a lie; Bruce gave him a pep-talk right there and then for the evening, shook his hand, gave him a wink and left.

Take what you want from that weird anecdote, seems like a decent guy to me.

Steve, I can call you Steve right? Steve. Get us up, yeah, that's a given expectation. But if you do one thing more for us, if you want to be remembered as a giant, to have your name etched into the bedrock of this great club, to have your name a byword for good times until the Rapture, win us the FA Cup and we will love you forever.

Welcome to the biggest job of your life Steve.

Let's hope we have a new manager bounce (not calling him a fat bastard!) starting this weekend...and the following 4 games are all winnable fixtures including the game against the Blue Scum.

I'm going to have some weird dreams tonight.

So... players he will know well - Hutton - had him and liked him at Sunderland, Chester - exceptional under him at Hull, McCormack - came close to signing for Wigan and spoke highly of his talks with the Bruce, Gestede - tried to buy him at Hull. Any others?

Gabby?

Michaahhh this summer apparently.

I'd say there is a very real prospect of him trying to reintegrate at least one of those clowns.

To be fair, as much as it pains me after last season, if he can get Micah playing well for us then that's a net positive in this league. Less convinced on Gabby!

I might even be worth trying him as a defensive midfielder, given his athletic qualities and defensive aberrations.

The very best of luck Steve. Get us winning and get us up. This is will be the best job you will have ever had.
