Yes we have done well in London this season but the London teams have done much better at SOL this season. I'd rather it was the other way around to be honest instead of drawing in London and betting beat at home (barring the Chelsea game).

Everyone knows my position on Bruce - I want him gone straight after the West Ham game. But he isn't all bad. I reckon he's a good mid-table Prem manager. For years, he kept Wigan in mid-table, and I think he's perfectly capable of keeping us there. It's just not what Ellis wants (or a lot of us want). I think if we want to go much further than we are now, we need someone more imaginative who can adapt to whatever problems arise - and Steve's proven two seasons running that he can't. But I'm not going to blanket bad-mouth him.

Good luck to him wherever he's going (I hope). He's just not the man for here, given our new ambitions.

I have deleted my post and replacing with this:

I'm sick of the Bruce out brigade twisting any debate into a Bruce out thread.

You have all had your say numerous occasions - so don't accuse me of not letting you express an opinion - however all your doing is stifling any debate and making not606 Sunderland board a "sack Steve Bruce board", its getting tedious.

Enough is enough, please stick to the subject matter of the article

Think of that Catherine Tate character who says "Am I bothered", replace with "Bruce Out"

BRUCE OUT! :)


On a serious note, I actually agree with you that too many threads have been hijacked on the Bruce stays/goes debate. To be fair though, some of the threads, like this one discussing his abilities, will naturally lead to the question of Bruce staying or going.

Remember, we are split down the middle on what Bruces future holds, so a little patience is required from everyone when the subject does come up in a thread. After all, we don't want to be bickering amongst one another like the great unwashed do on a regular basis! ;)

I SERIOUSLY NEED TO BORROW YOUR GLASSES MATE, what i see of Bruce i don't like i gave him time but now in my heart he will not take us where we want and need to go, so if you want to convince me hes the man, post me the specs you wear when assessing him, and ill gladly give them a try

who knows they may work and i could turn out his biggest supporter. or maybe ill post you mine which view with a different perspective.

read this again, before posting don't take it the wrong way mate not meant to be. just different views.

no probs mate, actually the thread was meant to be a positive one about how we are unbeaten in london this season, which must be a first.

but quickly decended into a bruce in/out debate.

i did say he has made some errors along the way, maybe a few too many.

unlike some of the above posters i don't have any problems with people wanting bruce out, everyone is entitled to their view.

ok i'm a bruce supporter, but there has to be some serious questions asked by quinn and short, and if he goes he goes, safc will live on regardless..

Dorset is your surname Kissinger, you diplomat you
 
lol, Dorset - I nearly bit.

After touching a nerve with some contributors and for completeness and to be even handed, can I say that not606 it not all about the Bruce out/Bruce in brigade.

All I'm saying there are other topics to be discussed and its a shame if every article boils down to whether he should go or stay, especially as it appears he is going nowhere.

You're right in saying that this board is not all about Steve Bruce, but he is the number one topic of conversation lately, so he's bound to crop up in many of the threads, although I will say that some are very crafty in adding a comment to a thread that they know will alter the course of the conversation on to Bruces future, or lack of a future at our club.

It's Unfortunate that really good threads often get broken up by wummers and people going off topic. :(

I'm still undecided on Bruce. He's had to endure a horrible run of injuries, but we still don't really know why we sold Bent and that run of 8 defeats in 9 was inexcusable. He's worth another season, but it will be interesting to see what he does in the summer. If we'd won a couple of the games in that bad run we'd be top ten easy, but now we're trying to scrape in at the death. Very disappointing after where we were at the end of January.

I've tried to tell you all why Bent was sold.

It was all about Bruces daughters relationship with Bent (which is still on by the way).

Not football. Not tactical. Not for money.

Bruce gave the club an ultimatum. Either he goes or I go.

****ing wrong man was backed IMO.
