As we know Sunderland's chances of staying up are slim at best. Given how out of order you feel we are to blame part of our misgivings on Bruce. Here's a little question for you. Out of the following; Keiren Westwood(29)(Signed for free) Wes Brown(34)(Signed for 1m) John O'Shea(32)(Signed for 4m) Lee Cattermole(26)(Signed for 6m) Craig Gardner(27)(Signed for 5m) Seb Larsson(28)(Signed for free) David Vaughan(31)(Signed for free) Connor Wickham(21)(Signed for 8million) Who would you like to sign? All either going to leave for free or be made available, probably cut price. Yes they're all Bruce signings and five of the eight have yet to reach their peak. Bruce has history for signing ex players. What with your belief in Brucie's judgement I'm sure you'd be happy if you at least signed the five that have yet to reach their peak. Don't forget our predicament is not in any part Bruce's fault, these must be good players in your eyes, ones Bruce himself admired and signed, he certainly thought them good enough for premier league football. I'd be quite surprised if you didn't want them all. Chances are you could be getting a few of them
You missed Ji to. 3m he cost. The hull fans are having the last laugh but give it a year or two then they will see Bruce at his best.
How many managers have you had since Bruce, remind me? They've all had the chance to get rid of those players.
That's what a lot of Sunderland fans can't seem to get their head around I'm afraid. If the new managers really wanted rid, they could have got rid. In January we rejected an offer for see Larson. Says it all really.
I hope we sign none of those ****e especially gardner & larsson Plus bruce didnt get relegated with them and he signed them 3 years ago,but youve kept em all in your first team You cant seriously be putting some blame on your possible relegation in 2014 to bruce who left in 2011?
Brady fella, that's almost our entire core of long term senior players, I blame the players, I blame bruce for signing them and I blame Quinn for giving them the ludracus contracts that have prevented us from shifting them. I also blame MoN, Short and Di Fanti for their small parts. My point isn't that it's Bruce fault, My point is that all season you lot have swooped the board when something bad has been said about Bruce, given the constant hostility from your fan base, the op is a fair question, they are going to become available after all. You've answered it, fair do's . Where do I say it's all Bruce's fault like? You've spent enough time on here to know the general consensus regarding blame. Bruce has fault, not the entire fault but a small part. It would be nice before we leave the premiership boards that you lot got it into your thick heads that some of our opinions are valid even if you don't agree.
Hopefully Bruce has realised his past errors now. How are the avatar bet people feeling now? They might have a Hull City badge for all most of next season...
Perhaps premature... http://www.not606.com/showthread.php/257247-Sunderland?p=6324937&viewfull=1#post6324937
Ah so he did make errors, first acknowledgement comes from Horsham, what a ****ing geezer! Bet is a bet mate. No problem from me.

Martin O'Neil seemed to do ok with that lot when he first took over. You had your chance to sort your problems out with Paolo. He would have cleared the troublemakers and instilled discipline. Instead you've appointed an inferior manager with a weak attitude.
