Steve Bruce - officially confirmed (as Sheffield Wednesday boss)

[Damo70]

What kind of surgery did he have? I am guessing gastric band surgery.

[brian green]

You are a braver poster than I am Damo.  I wanted to ask that but guessed I would be re branded as a hard hearted Bruce hater.  For the record I ndo not hate Bruce, I think he is a very poor, out of date, out of touch manager.

[ChicagoLion]

If there is any criticism it should be aimed at whoever made the decision at Wednesday.
To try to keep the club in suspended animation for months to wait for Steve Bruce looks like a ridiculous decision.

I’d love to be so shit at my job that I get the sack for the umpteenth time before bagging another (presumably) lucrative position which I can join when it suits me. Can’t think of another industry  where failure is so well compensated.

Which politician earns anywhere near what Bruce does?

Geoffrey Cox makes £650000 a year but he does a bit of barristering* on the side.

Don’t forget Bruce’s sideline as the acclaimed football fiction writer, Steve Barnes.

Funniest review- “does to the English language what the Luftwaffe did to Coventry”

George Osborne for a start. His mate CallMeDave won't be far behind. I don't suppose Jacob Rees Mogg runs his hedge fund on a voluntary basis. And for the sake of balance, Tony Blair

I think after 'Defender!' 'Sweeper!' and 'Striker!' he should bring out 'Manager!' the everyday story of a rotund buffoon travelling round the country murdering football clubs.

Thw first two aren't politicians, and making money from hedge funds isn'y making money from politics.

Don't get me started on politicians...in the US, members of Congress make around $200k pa, but somehow manage to increase their personal wealth by tens to hundreds of millions - wonder how that happens ?

The first two are failed politicians who did very well out of their failure (which is what this is about) and I doubt Rees Mogg has never used his political connections to boost his profile, and his earnings.

Political shifts have an impact on hedge funds therefore money can be made from politics by politicians making those political shifts.

I backed him longer than most on here (admittedly a lot of that was due to the late timing of the takeover) but in the end he was doing the usual things managers do when the writing is on the wall by twisting truths and blaming everyone and everything else but themselves.
