Now on to the new manager lingo bingo game.

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?

Brilliant

I fail to see what anyone's objection to Bruce could rationally be. If anyone can get us out of this tailspin, he can.

[Tony Erdington]

Seems like we've got a guy because he's available and not because he's necessarily the best man for the job.

An ex Birmingham boss - what can go wrong?

We go again.

I thought the noses were meant to be bitter??

as Krulak would say "Get with a winning team" not a fuckin whining team.

UTV

How is that bitter?

Krulak also said we'd be in the Champions League by now and to trust Randy - I don't know if football knowledge is his strong suit.

I was against Sherwood, Di Matteo and McLeish from the start, our club is too big and important to not have a suitably strong manager. I do respect your happy clappy viewpoint however. Let's see.

I know you just want to state that you have you reservations, and the bit about being ex sha manager was irrelevant

[berneboy]

Nothing on the OS?

Tone tweeted that it would be announced today

Steve Bruce as a birthday present. Lucky me.

[QuintonVilla]

If he turns out to be crap then people can turn around and say 'we told you so', but until then let's all get behind him. I'm sure everyone agrees we need stability and sorting out, he's the best man to do that. In this league and our current position I don't know why anyone wouldn't want him, probably the same cranks that wanted Sherwood back.

Steve Bruce's claret and blue army

[Risso]

I for one welcome our new potato-faced overlord.

[eamonn]

He was interviewed for the England job barely 3 months ago and seeing as we're at a similar level to England, we can't be too choosy.
Very likeable guy, far moreso than Di Matteo, (which probably shouldn't matter but listening to a manager who is honest with the fans especially after a bad result does make me feel better) and proven to get results in this, perhaps the most competitive league in Europe. Best of luck Brucie.

[dave shelley]

He isn't what I would have chosen but, as said, the options have been limited.  After all the poor managerial appointments we've had, maybe, just maybe this could work out.  I didn't want Ron Saunders at the time so what do I know?

Welcome Steve, do well.

It is irrelevant to me but he will be given shorter shrift than if he didn't have those affiliations by elements of our support. Hence more pressure and more risk.

Just arrived at BH with his new backroom staff.  Not sure I recognise them tho'.
