I think most fans agree that he stopped the rot and turned the ship around. However he is incapable of driving us forward and has to go. Hopefully after winning the next two matches, during the international break. Thanks Brucie and goodbye.

Well that ship is currently turning back around at the moment. I don’t think he’s done a particularly good job, given the quality of players he’s had available.

Time for him to walk the plank on this particular ship.

A mutiny may be required if he’s still here in the next week or so.

Purslow will deliver the black spot.

Glad to see that we have all risen above "Roger the cabinboy" references, class always shows through.

But that will not happen if he wins the next two matches, will it? Knowing our luck they will probably end up keeping the useless fucker.
I say that because the only thing we can go on right now is that the owners said that they want stability.

Gawd help us.

I think the deliverer of the Black Spot according to RL Stevenson, has to be blind.  All we need.

Nah, he's gone. And two years on, what counts as stability? I think they're after stability as we progress, not stability in the sense of still being where we were when he arrived. Well, there or thereabouts.

When he first came he was all about the stature of the club, biggest job he ever had etc

The longer it goes on all he is doing is trying to protect the Steve Bruce CV and either lying through his teeth or attempting to change history.
He needs to before gets hated like DOL or Lambert in the end

Plenty of Man u fans at work not happy with their plight (!)... I said they can have Bruce back for next to nothing... for some reason they aren't keen...

In terms of squads and results compared to those of rival clubs in respective divisions you could easily draw a parallel between Bruce and Mourinho’s achievements this season. But only for this season....

Bruce’s turning us around is the equivelant of stoping a kid burning himself by taking the matches away.

Whilst I think it’s now his time to go.  I’m quite sad about it.  I thought he would be made for us.  I still quite like the bloke really.  But he’s run out of cliches to defend the indefensible.  It’s quite bizarre really when you think of the firepower at his disposal how he’s not willing to go for it in games.
