    He just signed a new contract. I'd say once they get 10-12 points off 4th then the owner has some big decisions to make.

    Does he crack on, invest with Klopp in a rebuild? change out the manager? Or sell up?

    You'd think that the penny will definitely have dropped now.
    Brucy must be an ex-manager now. Who'd touch him now .... Oh wait

    If they lose to Man City next week and Chelsea win they are already 9 points off...

    So in just 8 months, Bruce took the Baggies from play-off contenders, to "their worst league position in over 20 years". (according to BBC website).

    It's like the opposite to the Midas touch.

    YES!!!

    Flabby melty faced **** sacked by the Baggies.

    While back in the Premier league, the "guy who got sacked by Bournemouth" has us in the top 6.

    I proclaim today to be Let's All Laugh At Bruce Day.

    How many clubs has Bruce been sacked by now? He'd have one of the longest titles ever if he were referred to as "That guy who got sacked by..."

    Would be interesting to know where he stands with regards how much he has received in his career as a pay off?

    I'd rather not know. I think it would just annoy me to see how much he has raked in due to being **** and fired, when the rest of us are trying to earn an honest living (except for Albert, who just seems to be on holiday all year).

    He has the Sadim touch. The touch of death.

    Pretty much every club he's managed, and if it's not every one, then it must be pretty damn close.

    2 sackings in less than a year is pretty impressive - did his best to relegate us last season, then takes West Brom to the brink of the third tier.

    But the big question is.... who will be dumb enough to employ Bruce next?

    I think this is the last we see of Steve Bacon Butty Bruce.

    I honestly don’t want to see his face again. And to that end. I won’t be speaking his name on these forums ever again.

    Nah, as I said today is Let's All Laugh At Bruce Day.

    His name can be outlawed tomorrow.

    But for today - HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA.

    £100 for correctly naming the worst Newcastle United Manager over the last 18 months.

    Apparently he had got West Brom into their worst league position in 20 years.

    Couple that with when we sacked him, he had 3 points from 8 games and we'd gone out of the league cup, which was our worst start to a season for.... pretty much forever?

    It's quite a CV of sackings and new records of ****ness that Bruce is amassing there.

    SB said NUFC would have been his last job. I hope he keeps waiting for his job at the Stadium of Plight...
