Steve Bruce - officially confirmed (as Sheffield Wednesday boss)

[Clampy]

I used to have my hair cut at the same barbers as Steve Bruce in Knowle. I know this doesn't help in any way but I thought I would mention it.

I know someone who still has his haircut at the same place he does. Bruce I mean, not the Archbishop.

Well there aren't many Barbers in Knowle. I'll take a stab it's either Kents, or Blowkes Barbers.

Are these both proper barbers, or the types of places that charge £20 for a short back and sides and then ask you if you want "product"?

£3 in Wakefield. Or £5 if i go 'posh'.

Sounds a snip.

Spinksy the bfg, if Bruce gets us up this season, no-one will give a f, and that will cement the rapport with the fans

I'd love if it he got us promoted and would thank him. However when it comes to rapport he is one those types you see in your regular boozer for years,  you nod the head to acknowledge,  but never speak or shake hands. Familiar but not friendly.

Why would you not shake hands with him?

Something to do with a restraining order I should imagine.

Was it under Bruce that David Fatty Dunn tried to do that kick the ball behind the other leg trick and tripped himself up? Seem to recall Bruce pissing himself laughing at the time.

THAT WAS BRILLIANT

Wasn't he married to the gorgeous Sammie Winwood?

They weren't married, had a kid together though. I used to sit next to her sister at work. Had a night out where Dunn and Ricky Hatton made an appearance.

Clemence has officially joined us as first team coach.

From Hull. Wiki says he's Ray's son.

All the old back room staff are gone. Bond, Battara etc.

I've just posted that in the Deathwatch Thread.  I'm going fucking mad me!

I hope when we play the unwashed in a few weeks we sing "Stevie Bruce's claret & blue army" just to wind the bellends up.

For 20 minutes solid like we did at Ipswich, preferably when 3-0 up though this time.

I re homed my dog 8 years ago, he is 10 now, we had him from the RSPCA when they were at Barnes Hill, at the time he had originally lived with noses and his name was Bruce, i changed it to Monty, does anyone think i should re name him back again, he is deaf as a post so he won't know anyway.

I enjoyed the part of the press conference where Bruce & Whyness dealt with questions about his time at SHA. He also made light of the Potato Head jibes.

I was surprised to learn that he hasn't signed a contract though. He was asked how long his contract was and he suggested that the contract had not been finalised.

[QuintonVilla]

Said "I'm used to them calling me potato head!" and "It's the biggest club I've ever managed". Saying all the right things, very good press conference. I like the way he handles himself.
