For all Bruce wonders what might have been with City, he will return as Aston Villa boss this weekend armed with happy memories. As the first man to lead the Tigers to an FA Cup final in 2014, he was also responsible for an unprecedented, albeit short, European adventure. And then there was the promotions that book-ended his tenure, achievements that cemented his bond with supporters. “The fans were always terrific with me,” said Bruce. “They appreciated someone like myself, from a working-class city like Newcastle, because they appreciated the fact I didn’t give them any flannel. I tried to be as honest as I could with them and I think they knew that. Yes, we had some tough times and got relegated, but the days out at Wembley will stick with you. It’ll be lovely to see the people who were good to me, that’s for sure. I’ll always be eternally grateful to the support I had there. “I had the most enjoyable four years with Hull City and I would give my right arm to replicate it now with Aston Villa. We’re a big club and I’d love to have the success I had with Hull here. That says it all.” Plenty of love for Brucie round these parts.
looking at that record there is no difference. Once PIF come and steal Rafa away we may have to take a look at Bruce.
When we beat you twice .. You e lost to me more times than Fosse Even Lejeune took it from you with two goals including an overhead kick in the 95th minute
….and right on cue here’s a twitching carp…. I’d never indulge is such idiotic ****wittery btw, but if I did, I’d make sure I got the right house like.
Amazing looking back at some of the big names in both those teams, even little ole Gillingham, Bruce and Cascarino in the same side.
