    Truth's hurting, double posts, going for I'm a better fan.

    Here's a good one from somebody who thinks "Why should i pay more for my ticket, why should i pay more for "anything" so my neighbour with a tribe can go watch for a fraction of the price i have to pay?" then says "my dad paid half price for me I believe."

    I have two accounts. Feb 2011. Bigger balls, better fan.

    Mid 70s, Oxford United, 0-0. Can you remember yours? Like the Blackburn one?

    "I/we have more of a right than new recruits wanting seats, being current pass holders. We won't be moved"

    "I did not renew my pass this season after 30+ years due to the pricing and work committments"

    I was angry and upset on Friday when I heard about Bruce leaving, today I've reflected and think that Bruce has left us in the ****, none of us know what has gone on in meeting with Ehab, everything commented Is pure speculation and guesswork.

    So I will add my speculation, did Allam engineer Bruce leaving without compo, to save the new owners, ( if there really are any in waiting) sacking him with a big pay off?

    The signings supposedly lined up by Bruce were let's face it very underwhelming, two brothers who no one had heard of and a Welsh ex Reading player who scored a good goal in the Euros. Maybe the new owners put a negative block of these, which helped push Bruce to the exit door.

    On to Bruce himself, I like him, he's a great bloke, however, he's never moved to Hull, preferring to drive 130 odd miles each way every day, I've always thought that he's not committed enough to buy a house and move here.

    As a football manager, every championship owner would have him, and they would be right, but as a Premier League Manager he's not very good, we fell out of the league last time, because of his insistence of trying to defend, look at the FA Cup final, we lost because he tried to defend a 2-0 lead, that was ****e.

    He should have gone after relegation, but old man Allam likes him so he stayed, yes we got promoted, but we should have easily won the league, there were too many awful games where Bruce didn't even commit to try and win them, Preston, Rotherham, Bolton all away. The Boro game was a shocker, we spent the last 20 mins trying to hold on for the draw and lost, terrible management.

    Then there's Europe, he threw it away because we had a game against Stoke, we got a point, cheers Steve, then there's Derby, the 1st leg was like watching someone else's team it was stunning, the home game was appalling, he was clueless how to stop them charging forward and scoring, I've never seen a game like it.

    A lot has been said about his signings most of them have been great, more not so, all managers sign duffers, but the loan signing of Hatem Ben Arfur and his insistence of playing him behind the forwards, then berating him for not tracking back and tackling was incredulous to me, that was total **** from Bruce and that was the time I wished him gone.

    The anger of his leaving has gone, good luck to him, hopefully new owners will take over and the Allams will be a bad memory, we get a good new manager and stay up, but looking back I'm not sorry he's gone now.

    Sorry for rambling on
