If i had a spare, i would have lauched my phone against a wall. That was cringeworthy to the extreme. I hope he gets throat ****ed of a randy rottweiler.
Now that Bruce has been interviewed it wouldnt surprise me if they went for him. I can imagine him being more of a yes man than Allardyce. Still think Allardyce is gone like.
please log in to view this image Steve Bruce (left) led Hull back to the Premier League, but Sam Allardyce (right) is favourite for the England job Hull boss Steve Bruce was interviewed by the Football Association on Monday about the England manager's job. Sunderland boss Sam Allardyce has also been interviewed and is favourite to succeed Roy Hodgson, who quit after England lost to Iceland at Euro 2016. Bruce, 55, led Hull back into the Premier League last season after relegation to the Championship in 2015. Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe and USA coach Jurgen Klinsmann have also been linked with the role. FA chief executive Martin Glenn is fronting a three-man panel, which also includes FA technical director Dan Ashworth and board member David Gill, to decide the next England manager. Former Manchester United captain and defender Bruce, who was never capped by England, said in June that he would be staying at Hull. However, amid talk of a takeover at KC Stadium, he accepted he could be replaced when asked if he was certain of his position. Prior to talks with the FA, Bruce recently said it was "highly flattering" to be linked with a role he hopes goes to an Englishman. "There's nobody more patriotic than I am," he told BBC Radio Humberside. "I'm honoured to be linked with it. It's the pinnacle to go and manage your country. What bigger job in the world is there?"
I'm gutted if he goes but happy with Moyes if it's Pearson, Giggs or McLaren I'm cancelling my season ticket
The thing is though, if he doesn't get the position will he still have the same enthusiasm as he did at the end of the season. Something like this could have a massive effect on Sam and he could walk away from football like he did when his contract finished with West Ham. Lucky man doesn't need to work anymore.
I honestly thought I would never say this, as I've been massively impressed with Sam. I want him gone now. Regardless if he gets the England job, or not. It's as clear as day how much he wants to manage England and if he doesn't get the job, I genuinely think it will have a big effect on him. Things wont be the same with us now, it's to far gone.
Bruce? Is someone drunk? Summed up by his banal "There's nobody more patriotic than I am,". I can see the interview now: So Steve why make you manager? "Cos I ****ing love my country me" Well yes but what would you bring to the role. "Passion cos i'm really patriotic" And what about tactics? "Yup I'd try them out too" Ok what about a playing philosophy Mr Bruce? "Football. England football! This is for the football job right?" Right, what do you think went wrong in France? "We lost. To Iceland. They literally scored more goals than us. That was a mistake" Uh huh. Anything else to add Steve? "I love my country me. I'm really patriotic" Ok. We'll be in touch, don't quit Hull just yet though.
He'll have got a bonus off you lot as well for keeping you up, he doesn't need money or to prove anything anymore, so I reckon unless he gets the squad he wants, he might end up doing a Pulis and head for the exit anyway. He's probably one of the only managers, who could quit and be guaranteed another job very soon. Bruce won't get the job, he's a quota, nothing more, he's ****ing useless and about as inspiring as a used Lada car salesman.
Don't be daft, they've got Klinsman to interview next thursday, Howe the Thursday after and Hoddle the Thursday after that.
I don't agree with that, I think if he doesn't get the job we'll be left with a relieved and happy set of fans and a fired up manager with a point to prove. On top of all the other points. Allardyce is made of sterner stuff than you give him credit for I think.

I've got total apathy for all this, probably just sick of giving a toss, we will still play every week, we will still get beat more than we win, we will still be around at the bottom every season, and im usually an eternal optimist. If or when he does go, we should get Eddie Howe with Ryan Giggs as his assistant (if that's even possible), 2 young, hungry up and coming managers who would want to prove they can do it at a pretty big club. Could end in failure, but most of our recent managers are gone by Christmas/March anyway, so won't be anything new if they do.
I think Howe wouldn't leave Bournemouth for anyone other than a big big job (top few or England) unless they get relegated. He's made that happen and I'm not sure why he would jeopardize it. Giggs I suspect is looking for a managers job and I can only see him taking an assistants job if it was a Barca/Real/Juve/Bayern stature under a manager he respected and thought he would learn from. Having said that I would be surprised if the Wales FA weren't all over him to assist Coleman.
Speaking of Chris Coleman, I read somewhere after Wales lost in the Euro's that the WFA would not stand in his way if he got an offer from a big club. Well we are a club, some of us think we're big would anybody be happy if he came as a rank outsider as I don't recall seeing him on a bookies odds list. Anyone for Chris Coleman or is it a complete no no, assuming of course we do loose Sam.
