Completely agreed, but Bruce's job is to assemble a decent team. He took one which was alright but with one or two big areas for improvement, spent a **** load and we've ended up with an even more unbalanced team with even bigger weaknesses. The Long thing was a gamble, we all supported it at the time because of the fee received but fees received don't keep you up, players do. We had a few days to replace one of the most important players and we had to take an even bigger gamble on Hernandez. Bruce has to be responsible for all of that. In hindsight, we shouldn't have sold Long for £12m. It'll cost us more than that in TV money
I agree except for the fact that it 'looked' like we had a winner with Hernandez and everyone was singing Bruces praises for signing him but after he went pear-shaped then Bruce is an @rsehole. Can't agree with that. Terribly unlucky with Snodgrass and also Diame and we can only speculate as to where we might have been if both had played as often as Elmo.
