Bruce won loads of games when in charge of us, so not sure about that last comment. Saying that I couldn’t give much of a monkeys about Bruce now and I don’t mean that in a horrible way, there does seem to be a familiarity about his recent comments at struggling Newcastle as to when he was struggling at villa at various times.He nearly got us up and got in some good players that season, Snoddy and Terry, but his tactics in the play off final were all wrong and ultimately reflected his conservative management style. I thought he should of gone after that. But maybe things happen for a reason, and if we had gone up the struggle would of been painful and we would never had the memories of that 10 game run or be building what we are now in the style we’re building it.
Reading the Newcastle forums, they really, really dislike him.
His comments about Bentitez are pretty disrespectful to be honest, it's not his fault he's held in high regard up there. I imagine this will be Bruce's last top flight job in all probability.
What's the snow situation in Brum? Had a right dumpful in Stourbridge
There was no compulsion to appoint one of the managers 'in the running', but any of the above would've 'steadied the ship', and some of them might have tried to win games. It's almost as though steadying the ship was the easiest goal our manager was tasked with.
The most important thing is trying to get three points, regardless of who the opposition manager is. Some people may want to carry on the obbssesion over Bruce, but that's up to them I suppose.Get the first goal and their heads will hopefully drop and we can get a couple more. They'll make it tough for us though,. LIke I said the other day, a bit of patience might be needed.

To be fair, I didn’t start the discussion about Bruce, I just offered a different opinion to the one that prevailed in the thread. If that is obsession, so be it. I’ve consistently said I’m pleased he isn’t our manager.
