Steve Bruce: Aston Villa majority owners give manager full support to continue https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44960217
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.
"The former Sunderland and Birmingham City manager" Aye, can't think of any other top flight teams he's managed or got promoted.
Peanuts ? They say Mark Zuckerberg's net worth dropped $17 billion US yesterday. He obviously neglected consulting the Tigers owners
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
These have all done it more than once. Only one has done it three times. Only ones has done it four. Steve Bruce out in front as the most successful Manager in regards to gaining promotion to the PL. No myths just a big fat FACTAFUCKINGMONDO 1993, 2002 Kevin Keegan 1995, 1998 Bryan Robson 1996, 1999 Peter Reid 1997, 2006 Steve Coppell 1998, 2000 Alan Curbishley 1999, 2005 Paul Jewell 2001, 2012 Sam Allardyce 2002, 2004 Gary Megson 2002, 2007, 2013, 2016 Steve Bruce 2003, 2014 Harry Redknapp 2005, 2009 Mick McCarthy 2006, 2011 2018 Neil Warnock 2010, 2013 Ian Holloway 2014, 2016 Sean Dyche .
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.
