First of all this is not my main account as can't logon it for some reason. Second of all I am very excited for next season! Right. At a party tonight and my friend here is doing his pro coaching badges with several old players of Bruce has told him some interesting things. First of all they all said he was there best ever manager. All say he is the best man manager, although not the best coach. More investing though is that one player said the true reason Bent left was not due to money but because of his daughter. He was warned to stop seeing her but continued to and ruined the relationship between player and manager. Not sure who else knew this at the club but think it was a bit of a cover up from what i gather. My friend is not in the habit of lying and told me this spontaneously. This is what i was told but for me fairly reliable. If true quite investing. Anyway. Can't wait for the first game! Come on!
Agree, I heard this ages ago and thought it was common knowledge. Infact I think he's still going out with her!
Aye. It's old and probably bollocks. Why would Bruce be so opposed to his daughter seeing Bent? Doesn't add up to me. Bent is just a greedy ****. End of.
Well this comes from players who know the current squad and Bruce very well. Its true according to them. For me though it doesn't matter now as he has left. Just heard it tonight and thought it may be of me interest
This story is banded about at every club when a player leaves. It's crap everytime. Like it has been said he was a greedy ****. Was prepared to go to Fenerbache before Villa for extra money after we saved the scab from the wilderness and rebuilt his career.
http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/227570 here's a press story.............. if we can ever believe the press of course!
Ok this is one of the reasons why people don't post on this site, because they are ridiculed for offering an opinion or in my case something heard in directly from players linked tothe team. Never mind, plenty of less cliquey forums about.
its ****e, I think bruce would let The Mig and bardo spitroast her whilst gyan does match of the day style commetary and films it on his iphone, as long as they also do the business on the pitch.
It is true that Bent is seeing his daughter, they was pictures of Bent and her togeather in the paper. Not sure if thats why he left though. I agree, hes a greedy barsteward!!
Lads and lasses. Whether you like it or not, thisn is the story I ws told by an ex player of the club? Its totally 100% true that Judas was humping SB's daughter and thats what created the rift. She was in the same picture as Judas at the B'ham hotel, the morning after the craa game? He is a twat and so is Bruce on this one?
