Just how bad a manager Steve Bruce is is finally starting to sink in.  Just hope it includes our owners.

Brian, I know I sound like a broken record but, I keep saying that Bruce has finally been found out.  The biggest job he's ever had and now, likely to get and he can't handle it.  His media mates are slowly, very slowly coming around to see what we, Sunderland and all his other clubs know only too well.  A good manager he isn't.

There are quite clearly two groups forming in the league, 15 sides that look like challenging for the play off and the rest are in the relegation battle. That we are the worst of the first group should be all that's needed to sack him.

Exactly as if it was sabotage.  Planned failure.

I said in this in the match thread and it's why i've wanted him gone for a long time. In pretty much every game you see glimpses of the side we should be, then you look in the dugout and see the reason why we're not that side.

And the most frustrating thing is when we have that 5-15 minute spell of showing what we're capable of, every single side we're playing shit themselves and go into panic mode.

Get in a couple of utterly naive owners, gullible, vain and easily manipulated.  Add a number of incompetent, bungling, overpaid executives. Mix in a group of bullying (allegedly) bombastic, half arsed coaches topped off with a sequence of managers with health, personality, character and intelligence deficiencies.  Serve with a garnish of sycophantic media groin rubbers.

Ram down the throats of the supporters.
