Salut! Sunderland has just completed a series of eight end-of-season reviews with lots of brickbats for Bruce but praise too, especially in some of the comments left by supporters. http://salutsunderland.com/2011/06/sunderland-report-cards-the-essential-guide-to-our-eight-part-series/ I liked this bit, from the last of the eight to appear: "He was blamed for injuries, for failing to replace Bent, for a lack of Plan B (some would say a Plan A) and, by some of his sternest critics, for the Japanese Earthquake and the demise of Cheryl Cole on the American X Factor."
