He certainly wasn't perfect , neither was Phil Brown , still our best ever managers though Some people like to look at the negatives I suppose
I do hope it is making a return somewhere in the ground. No disprespect intended to Adkins of course, more of an "up yours Ehab" moment.
Nigel Adkins will run the rule over his squad before making his final selection decisions for Saturday’s home game against Aston Villa. There is plenty of competition for places across the park, and the fact that ten players have been away on international duty in the last ten days will also come into the equation as Adkins looks to set his side up for the clash with promotion-chasing Villa. Adkins remains without long-term injury victim James Weir, while the Head Coach also had an update on Moses Odubajo, Stephen Kingsley and Evandro who are all on the comeback trail. “Evandro and Moses are still injured and have had little set-backs in their recoveries which is a shame,” confirmed Adkins. “However, Stephen continues to progress nicely.” Villa could welcome back defensive duo Neil Taylor and Axel Tuanzebe after the pair returned to training this week, with Alan Hutton, Andre Green and Jonathan Kodjia also pushing their way back towards contention. That's bad news about Moses. Hope he's ok.
Would take issue with the narrow win over The Biggest Club In The Planet of Hillsborough. It was as emphatically a complete win as you might ever wish to see. 1-0 might be a narrow scoreline, but the performance was totally dominant, totally in control. As for the rest of the article I take no pleasure (given the **** up Ehab has created) but lots of pleasure (given the memories and pride put back into Hull City that Bruce created) in equal measure.
There is only one Steve Bruce our most successful manager ever his record speaks for itself I wish him all the best in the future but not tomorrow
Great article, what might have been eh, but these 2 cockwobbles decided to dismantle what had taken 4 years to build, and with the money coming in from the EPL could have easily funded 3 or 4 more good players, but they decided to trouser the money instead. It is enough to make you cry.

Really Mr Brady how sad are you so tell me how many other teams has Mr Brown got promoted to the top division, not that I am having a go at Mr Brown just your statements.
Describing Steve Bruce as an ‘absolute failure’ makes you an absolute failure at football management analysis
Steve Bruce taking no pleasure from Hull City's misery as vibe he created eroded away The Aston Villa boss admits it is sad to see the Tigers in the midst of another relegation battle 06:00, 29 MAR 2018 Updated10:25, 30 MAR 2018 Sport Steve Bruce insists he takes no satisfaction from Hull City’s struggles in the Championship as he prepares for his first return to the KCOM Stadium with Aston Villa this weekend. Twenty months have passed since Bruce resigned as City boss on the eve of the 2015-16 Premier League season, citing a breakdown in trust with vice chairman Ehab Allam as his primary reason for quitting after four years in charge. Four different bosses – Mike Phelan, Marco Silva, Leonid Slutsky and Nigel Adkins – have now followed in Bruce’s footsteps but City have won just 18 of 76 league games since the 2016 Championship play-off final victory against Sheffield Wednesday marked the end of an unrivalled era. Every Hull City signing since the departure of Steve Bruce rated The threat of back-to-back relegations continues to linger as the Tigers head down this season’s run-in and Bruce says it has been sad to see the fortunes of his former club plummet. “It doesn’t give me any satisfaction at all. It really doesn’t,” said Bruce, whose Aston Villa side are sitting fourth in the Championship. “I have people who are coming back with me this weekend who worked so hard. We had a small close-knit team and we made sure the club had a real vibe about it. “They were exciting times. There was a pride in the team but I’m not sure if they’ll get that back. I hope for the sake of the supporters that they do, but it’s a long road back. “This Championship now is more difficult than it’s ever been. It’s always been difficult but if you don’t do your work right in the Championship, you’ll soon get shown up. “I’ve found out just how hard it is with Villa. Big, huge clubs who have struggled year in and year out to get out of this league. “This year has probably been a wake-up call for Hull City. If you don’t do things right, you can easily head in the opposite direction.” Three wins from the last six games under Adkins have given City a six-point lead over the Championship’s relegation zone with just eight fixtures to play, but this season remains a far cry from the club’s successes under Bruce. His first and last campaigns at the KCOM Stadium both ended with promotion to the Premier League, while in 2014 he became the first manager to lead City to an FA Cup final. Only an extra-time defeat to Arsenal at Wembley denied the Tigers their first piece of major silverware. “As a manager you’re always judged on how things are when you leave and I’d like to think I did all right with Hull City,” he added. “I enjoyed the four years we had together because we were successful. We went up, stayed up, got to an FA Cup final, got into Europe, won a play-off final. You couldn’t write it. “The relegation hurt a lot (in 2014-15) but at least we put it right and that summed up the group. “Those four years will be there for people to talk about in years to come and I include myself in that. I led out a team in an FA Cup final and that’s something that I’ll always cherish.”
Warm respectful welcome for Bruce , Chester and Elmo before the game and then down to business - any chants during the game like for McShane would be massively ****y
