    He hasn't though. Bruce has done ****. The owners brought in Jones and Mr Nice guy tried everything to disrupt that then claimed credit for him coming in. You couldn't make it up or believe it (unless you're @Roy Munson)

    Really? What evidence do you have to support this claim?

    I have this

    10 best since Jones came in(19 games)
    7th best last 11 games)

    I accept that when Jones came in results improved. The end of the day Bruce was manager so he takes credit for his team.

    I don’t have any issue with that. But let me be clear I don’t want or like Bruce.

    I’m hoping he doesn’t get the chance to **** things up. If he does that means the takeover is off.

    After the Everton game we went back to ****e for a while because Bruce was so petty he couldn't handle Jones taking the credit

    Firstly that's not accurate because we went 2-0 up at home vs Southampton the next game and then all of a sudden we lost Manquillo Wilson max and schar and finished with 10 men.

    We then as I've indicated struggled for a period of time before they returned.

    Ultimately I've been kind and not mentioned injuries when highlighting these facts

    10th best the entire duration jones was here ( half a season)

    7th best the last 11

    So what's the problem now? All I see is things working and progressing

    Yep. They had a man sent off and we were hanging on for our lives because of Bruce's sit back ****e

    If Jones really is Jesus, why not get him a proper manager to work with and see how well it goes?

    I'll ask again

    10th best the entire duration Jones was employed by bruce (19 games)

    7th best the last 11

    So what's the problem now? All I see is things working and progressing nicely.

    It's just a straight forward question based the evidence I have provided

    Fine get a better manager, but what's the problem as things stand?

    Steve Bruce

    What if, after the Euros if England do well, Jones gets an offer to work with a manager who isn't a complete idiot? Keep Bruce still?

    Can you just go a little deeper into the explaination and I think we've got to the crux of this

    But of course. Steve has a proven track record in the field of finding people better than he is to do his job for him.
    He's done it once, I have no doubt he can do it again.

    Well I don't think there's a problem at all of we get willock.

    That was a key difference and a player Bruce asked for much like Wilson.

    I don't think the other signings have been great though

    An interesting argument,but can you explain why is doing well isn't as important as who's responsible for it?
