    It's a rare thing to see a double-edged poisoned chalice.
    Both majority owners and Bruce may well fall on their swords here. Lots of money potentially spent, no promotion again.
    Should be interesting.

    I bet deep down he's absolutely gutted. That's a £1.7m pay off he's missed out on.

    "The former Sunderland and Birmingham City manager"

    Aye, can't think of any other top flight teams he's managed or got promoted.

    Huddersfield Town and Crystal Palace, can't forget them.

    Think that's it though.

    So this Steve Bruce promotion making manager is all a bit of a myth isn't it? The list of clubs he has managed, only two of them have been promoted. Twice with us and twice with Birmingham.

    Steve Bruce clap clap

    Not to the PL but I believe he's had the most promotions overall with 8 in his managerial career.

    Gerry down the cafe reckons somethings a bit strange here. Like he said, its taken these guys about two weeks to spend millions buying 55% of the club. How the hell have they done due diligence that quickly? Then all the palava about lining up Thierry Henry then back pedalling like a certain mediterranean tank driver and backing the current manager. All very odd, off to the Shoulder for a quick pint and see what Jack makes of it all.

    Was the Thierry Henry thing proven though, may have just been a tabloid story.
