Always interested listening to the rubbish the pundits spout and print. One thing that always strikes me however when they are interviewing or reporting stuff about Bruce is how he gets such an easy ride. There never seems to be a negative narrative or report.
He stated recently "I have never ducked out of a challenge in my life" or something like that. What about Sheffield Wednesday for example, or his many previous clubs? Last week it was "We have had loads of injuries and Corona virus to contend with, but I'm not making excuses" What??????

I don't think it's just him, there's other managers that get an easy ride from the press, though I think he probably gets the easiest. Maybe he always gets the rounds in?

He's walked from half a dozen clubs, a total fraud.

Its always the same. 1 reasonable season, followed by terrible form, injuries, lack of fitness, poor signings. Then the sack or he walks away.

I didn't mind him at first with us, he always seemed like a decent person, but the Brighton cup match was an absolute joke. Fans travelling all that way during the week to see a team comprised of 2 defenders and 8 midfielders fail to score. Then afterwards blamed the strikers for not taking their chances. That was the beginning of the end for me.

Just like Moyes' absolute disaster of a season here doesn't seem to have happened for anyone anywhere outside the north east. A collective memory blank.

Few question he needs asking:

"Do you intentionally go on ****e runs after your first season or is it a by-product of you not wanting to be there anymore and counting the days until you are sacked and get another pay off?"

"Do you like getting the sack because the lump sum is easier and quicker than seeing out your contract and means you can move onto the next mugs.... sorry club?"

"You always do well the first season at a new club is that because you aren't looking for the exit door yet? Or is it because you need to keep the reputation up as a decent manager who had the team performing above their level but couldn't be sustained long term therefore keeping doors open for your next payday ...sorry club?"

"Do you actually believe you were hounded out of Sunderland cause of your geordie routes or do you know deep down it's because you had been on a ****e round and had to go? And what excuse will you use for the Mags hating you from day one?"

"Finally how many times have you 'rolled up wor sleeves and dusted wor shelves down'?
 
Played for Manchester United under Ferguson and has loads of mates in the media, both the written press, radio and TV. Can't ever do anything wrong. I remember talkSPORT asking what the Sunderland fans thought of his Managerial style and why the unrest, one lad rang in a listed a load of stuff, his failure to sign a left back, playing strikers on the wing, right backs at left back, square pegs in round holes and straight away the bloke that was on was clearly his mate, jumping to his rescue and pretty much saying we should he lucky to have him. Hughes never gets ****, Keane didn't. Press and media turn on managers all the time, they wind Jose up loads to get a sound bite. But I digress.
