"In certain people's eyes I can never do anything right". And there is the deflection for how incompetent he is. He only said it 3 or 4 times in 4 mins.

Steve, you keep losing football matches, you actually AREN'T do anything right.

I’m worried the new owners are either out of touch or don’t have the skills, football know how or contacts to find a new manager.

He's the King of Spin , says he'll accept the criticism , then usually deflects it onto the players or fans , or both. He won't be our  manager at the end of this season , may as well go now.

I will never condone the personal abuse and vitriol that is being directed at Steve Bruce by many on here, much of it oversteps the mark.

However, you cannot defend the indefensible when it comes to his awful attempts at coaching, tactics, transfer dealings, motivation etc. Time has caught up with him and the club will never truly move forward until he has left us, and preferably this evening. We all know it, the players know it, the owners know it. In his heart of hearts, even Bruce knows it too.

The time has surely come............

Beat me to it, but how much fucking time? Just do the decent thing Steve, admit defeat, and fuck off to Spain ;)

Bruce post-match audio boom on WM


I would listen to that, but as I have the option to tear my ears off with my own hands, I'll go for that instead.
As usual, it’s mistakes that cost us and he needs time.
Not quite the brave heart, are you staring at me heroics after vanquishing the mighty Rotherham, he actually said, we go again.

I remember Sunderland fans saying Bruce used to talk similar bollocks about not being liked when he was busy failing there too. Insinuating that they never liked him because he was a Geordie.

100 games in charge of waifs and strays and we're safely in mid-table, imagine how we'll be once he's given time and can sign players most of the division can only dream of being to afford.

Hi Steve,

You've done some things right.

Please go all the same.

It says something when the best thing today is Legion editing Risso's thread title properly. Shoddy work Mart.

Bruce out!!!!

Deary me, it was intentional. The 1s after the exclamation marks denoting such utter frustration that the keyboard is being hammered furiously.

Surely Brian Little can advise them ??? Start by phoning Dean Smith...

35.500 fans today.   3rd biggest crowd in the whole of the country today.
We have the fans, the stadium, the squad and the new owners.
The only missing piece is the manager.

He must have used that excuse about not moving the call quickly enough 4 times this season. That’s his fault surely
