Annoying maybe ? ironic ? yes. The post is suggesting that City will finish with no points and 60 goal deficit. Based on what exactly ? No team in the history of the game ( professional level) have ever had a season like that so why does he think Hull City will ? I'd like the poster to link us to where he finds these fasicating facts and where he gets his amazing gift of seeing into the future from.
Also, if a club spends the 11th most on wages, isn't it reasonable to expect that club then to be challenging to finish in 'let's say bloody 11th place' and blaming Leicester for us going down is ridiculous. We went down because we finished bottom 3, end of! It had nothing to do with Leicester. I am entitled to my views and I have seen enough of Steve Bruce to know that his style of football is dreadful at times to watch ( I went to enough dreadful away games last season to back that up). If he adopts the same style this season he could spend 200 million and it wouldn't bloody matter, we would still be fighting relegation. As for the FA cup final, I never rubbished it I simply pointed out that the route to the final we took was one of the easiest routes you will ever see and wasn't achieved because of Steve Bruce doing anything magic, it was simply luck of the draw
And last but not least for all you people who defend Steve Bruce and idolise the man, answer this, would Steve Bruce have won the league if he was manager of Leicester last season? Or would they have been battling relegation? Anybody see a trend??
No it isn't. Why didn't either Manchester City, Man Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea Arsenal or Spurs win the Premier League then ? They pay the most in wages. The wages a club pays a player does not guarantee anything other then that club gets a big wage bill. How did Iceland beat England ? Because using your flawed logic England should have won 6-0. If Steve's Bruces style of football is 'dreadful' at times I wonder if the the owners, managers and fans of clubs like Leeds, Sheffield Wednesday, Forest, Birmingham, Villa, and Newcastle are thinking of copying it because all of thjose clubs would gladly swop places with Hull City today. As for the FA Cup. So we reached the Final because of the luck of the draw did we ? Meaning we must be the unluckiest club in the entire league because we hadn't managed before, even once in 104 years.
He also keeps banging on about Lester and how would they have done under Bruce, well what did they spend on transfers and salaries last season?
Steve Bruce is a very very good manager - for the championship. He is not good enough for the premier league. Sad but true.
No I mentioned Leicester because somebody said we were relagated because of them, I was simply stating that it had nothing to do with them. It was our own managers negativity and insistence to take all our strikers off the pitch with 10 mins to go in a game(but I suppose I'm imaging that)
The England game was one game of football, I'm talking over 38 games. And those teams you mention have made managerial changes because they failed to finish in the positions the wages they spent and the transfer money they spent deserved. Ala Chelsea, man city and man utd. We should have done the bloody same. And as for your FA cup comment, we haven't been a premier league club with a decent squad for the past 104 years. In that time we were 3rd and 4th division so there was no such thing as an easy run to the final, it was only in the 4 seasons we have been a premier league side that you can say it was an easy run. Any other time it wouldn't have been
That I did and I stand by that fact, in my opinion Steve Bruce would have been in a relegation battle with the same team that ranieri won the league with. He is a manager to 'give it our all' and 'dust our selves down' then get relagated and bring that club back up which for some bizarre reason everyone seems to think is fine.
So you didnt only mention Lester being to blame for us being relegated then. And they ruin your theory that cos we spent the 11th most on wages that we should finish 11th.
Seeing as you don't seem to know. http://www.football-observatory.com/IMG/pdf/wp116_eng.pdf http://www.totalsportek.com/money/english-premier-league-wage-bills-club-by-club/ What was the cost of our squad in comparison? And the wage bill in comparison the season we were relegated. Looking at the cost of squads and wages they don't seem to bear out any statements that the league position of a club bears any relation to,them. Otherwise Watford, Bournemouth etc would have been fighting relegation.
I never mentioned Leicester were to blame for us been relagated!?? Someone else did and I stated it was NOTHING to do with them, it was our own crap manager
Obviously you think you are right. Steve Bruce is a mug. Two promotions to the Premier League, one automatic, one via the Play Off Final, One FA Cup Final. One Quarter Final appearance. Best run in the League Cup in the clubs history. We also beat two Premier League clubs at home last season in cup competitions and I cannot remember the last time any Hull City side did that when not being in the top league themselves. One relegation from the Premier League. Yeah your right, Steve Bruce hasn't a clue. Why don't you drop him your number so you can put him right ?
