    I've already answered that question. No. We then go on to part of the reasons why in my subsequent responses. Keep up CC, keep up. :)

    They weren't your reasons at the time though . That's how mental gymnastics work.

    Next time stick to polls and you'll avoid any pain you don't like to confront.

    No. I have never given you my exhaustive list of my thinking about Bruce and still haven't.. Remember my "whole picture" comments? They have been part of my thinking for most of Bruce's reign. I have no intention of copying Pouchy or No Chance when it comes to size of posts on here otherwise I would be spending far too much time writing down what most posters wouldn't bother reading. It's also called having a life that's how life works.

    We've done this before I don't need an in depth explanation to understand why you won't credit people for any successes or goals they achieved.

    I just credited him for wins etc and not for losses. That's how it works

    Ultimately he's gone now and people are still too emotional and they'll take it out on me or Tash now

    Close the thread.

    Nonetheless my comment was a bit of a meow I apologise mate.

    It's just supposed to be light hearted banter

    Well I had a Bruce thread that I considered to be the front line of nufc not606 and I was engaged in battle there for years.

    The thread was eventually closed because it had caused such damage.

    Think hotshots part deux

    Looking at the current league position now with a vastly superior side I'd like to confirm as I did at the time that the answer to your question was yes.... he did deserve credit for those two seasons.

    Problem with managers like Bruce etc is that over time the club is only going in one direction

    If you wanna be nuanced about it, the players were probably getting sick of Rafa who according to Jamie Carragher is the worst man manager he's ever worked under, Peter Crouch said very similar.

    When Bruce comes in their relieved to have someone who actually talks to them, so the bounce is there.

    St Maxi loved Bruce.

    But we were absolutely getting relegated in his last season, we were utter pish
