    He's played exactly the same no of games as their previous manager, 31. They got rid of the other guy when he had a win rate of 39%, and replaced him with Bruce who has a win rate of 25% from the same no of games.

    He's nicely taken then from a Prem mid table/yo-yo team, to full speed ahead to the 3rd tier.

    Warnock must be excited - Boro, West Brom, Forest, Soton and Leicester all potentially looking very soon, no doubt one of the them will be stupid and desparate enough to go for the eyebrowless Brexit-loving whiney old twatbag.

    These managers are so desperate to get back into management that when they get sacked they jump right back in irrespective of the club or the players available.

    Howe was slammed for taking his time finding a job, but what is meant to be correct? Jumping from club to club learning nothing?

    Take a year off and do some ****ing research and training. Learn something before you come back.

    Intelligent ****s

    They're mostly old though and only have a few years left to manage, so they jump at the chance of getting a quick job which a huge pay off.

    Look at Woy at Watford - do a job for 5 months and leave with a multi million pound pay off, same with Fat Sam at West Brom. They'd be stupid not to take jobs like these.

    True, honestly with hiring decisions like that how the **** did owners make enough money to buy a football club?

    So Brucey survives another day (or two).
    Apparently the Baggies have confirmed Bruce will be doing the media presser tomorrow ahead of their game againat Luton. A must win game?

    Unfortunately he's trying to change it, but he's doing things his way now.

    West Brom manager Steve Bruce:

    "We are all judged on results and they haven't been good enough. I will do my utmost to turn it around.

    "I still believe we are capable of going on a run with the players we have - but at the moment, everybody is finding it tough.

    "That [my future] is for other people. I hope [I will still be in charge at the weekend], I still think I am the right one to turn it around.

    "I don't give up, not when it is tough. I don't have to do it. But I still get up in the morning and want to come to work. It still burns inside me, especially when it is like it is at the minute.

    "But I hope I am given the time. If not, I fully understand I haven't been able to arrest a slide that has gone on for two-and-a-half years."

    Referred to himself 14 times before the final snide dig and shifting the blame. He’s a ****. How anyone ever employed him is a ****ing mystery. He’s worth millions. It’s a crime against humanity.

    Is this a quiz? Like guess which club he was at when he said those words?

    I'll go first - ALL of the clubs he's ever managed.
