    I listened to him and he at no point ever acknowledges or accepts any responsibility. It's all just about how unfair and difficult he had it.

    Craig hope is a turd though I agree with him on this.

    Yeah, because Steve Bruce took over a side which was sitting in 12th and when he left, they were joint bottom off the league without a win all season.

    The fans fault

    He then went to promotion chasing West Brom, he left them in the Championship relegation zone

    Geordies fault

    There’s a man with an eye for talent, the Gillingham coach/manager, picked Steve Bruce ahead of Peter Beardsley.

    Great player and a nice bloke but isn't the sharpest tool in the box.

    Maybe because Beardsley wasn’t a CB that would make sense.

    Bruce was a good CB.

    Beardsley was a great striker.

    Think I’d always go for the great player than the good if I had the choice. Especially if picking a promising youngster I’d be selling on in a year or two like Gillingham would be doing. But I’d have no problem you picking Bruce so long as you weren’t involved in my team.

    Don’t think it was a straight contest with the winner being CB for Gillingham.

    I have to admit there is a bit of an assumption on my part in that statement but I’m fairly confident that I’m right.

    So he didn't pick Bruce ahead of Beardsley he just didn't pick Beardsley which is different.
