Don't know. What he achieved on the pitch overshadowed off field activities.
Whereas Bruce always seemed to be bedevilled by finance / Allams etc

Brucie got us £100 million in debt and then got us relegated - that's why the Allams pulled the plug on him - they trusted him with their money and he ****ed up - that's why were in the mess we are now, **** all to do with Brownie
You've been made to look a **** about this soooooo many times now.
Shuffle off you sick creepy ****er.
Get back on the villa forums where you belong.

I appreciate you don't like facts you soft **** because they make you look stupid
We're in the mess we're in because they trusted him with 80 million quid more than they should have.
Phil Brown did it on a shoestring in comparison, with a bunch of misfits that were expected to be battling relegation. And kept us in the premier league a season when we were widely and quite genuinely tipped do take Derbys record off them. I think it's worth noting as well that technically he should have at least reached the FA cup semi final, those two late clearly offside goals the officials rottenly gifted to Arsenal were something akin to what goes on in Italy.
Keep clutching at whatever you want creepy ****.
Still going in the villa boards are you? Probably stalking him in twitter.
Livermore 10
Snodgrass 10
Clucas 15
Maguire 15
Robertson 10
All thanks to Steve Bruce.
arf.

we hardly made anything on Livermore and Snodgrass you clown - as for Maguire that was entirely down to Marco Silva because Brucie didn't play him - that's like me saying Brucie lost £10 million on Hernandez - which is different to the £20 million he gave away on Cairney
at the end of the day Maguire and Robertson were 2 great signings and we've
done very well out of them due to a combination of Brucie and the massive rise in transfer fees - as for Clucas, getting that kind of money was entirely due to the ****ing tooth fairy
We were £50m in debt when Bruce took over, so even if you ignore the tens of millions we made on the players he signed, the maximum debt you can hold him responsible for is £50m.
I can't believe that people are moaning about the greatest period in our history and some of our managers! 
The season we went up under Browny is the best ever Hull City season, Fact! Followed by the Great Escape.
Don't disagree Bob, but Bruce still shades it for me.
Ironic how Arsenal come up several times in City's history.
FA Cup semi final 1929 / 1930 when we were cheated.
Brownys effort, when again we were cheated.
Bruce FA Cup final, which is just about as memorable as it gets.
But for me the most sheer panty wetting, irregular heart beating, intoxicating memorable feeling of our 'Premier Experience' was late Saturday afternoon Sept 27th 2008.
And no amount of money spent then, now or in the future will ever replace that. And Phil Brown is solely responsible for it.
Arsenal 1 - 2 Hull City
Goalscorers : Paul McShane, Daniel Cousin and THAT ****ing thunderbolt from Geovanni.
The point that was being made was that the Allams pushed the boat out with Bruce - went £100 million in debt and he got us relegated after which point they stopped giving him any more money - and that is a fact even though the forum sycophant would prefer to try and rewrite the record books
The debt increased from £49m to £99m under his tenure, that much is a fact, but the value of the players he signed easily covered that debt increase. Ehab didn't like him and wanted him gone, long before the 2014-15 season where he spent the main cash.
The biggest fact, is that Bruce got us to the Premier League twice and that generated hundreds of millions in income, many times what he spent.
Twice? Just the once would have been preferable.
Without Phil Brown there would never ever have been Steve Bruce.
