That says to me that words have been said by the players. They have turned on Bruce.

I heard a rumour that several players confronted Bruce in the dressing room after the Sheff Utd game. I mentioned it on here. Today seems to confirm that.
Apparently Wilson stood up for Fraser. Apparently there was some fisticuffs aswell but it could be bollocks.

I also heard that Schar is NOT a liked character in the dressing room because he says his mind.

I also heard the Hendrick is a bit of a wet pussy. Now this one I can believe.

It’s all hearsay mind but there’s no smoke without fire.

I've heard thst about Schar. He tells it how it is. Heis one of the players thst had a go at Bruce.
 
Also the rumours about a bust up with lascelles is also being peddled but it wasn’t with Bruce. It was with some senior players. And they told him to **** off. And apparently Schar told him to back off!
 
There’s also a clause in the players contract that they cannot say anything negative about the management and club. And that’s actually quite a common clause.

The clause also extends to when you leave the club.
 
Imagine expecting your players to go out and perform in the next match after you've called them all ****.

I bet their agents were busy this week.
 
If this is true then this can only go one way now in my opinion. A lot of these players were here when he took over, and he’s had these as well some of the players he’s brought in playing some OK stuff...nowt flash but enough to get a few results...some of them somewhat fortunate to say the least.

He’s been found out now like and he simply just not have a plan b. I think I might actually enjoy watching the next few games now actually, I can’t wait to see his line ups/tactics and the players reactions to all of this. Still can’t see us picking up any points anytime soon...hopefully we’ll only need to lose another 2 or 3 before he’s given the boot.
 
Love this from Craig Hope in response to Bruce’s “they’re ****e” meltdown;

In a funny way, I don’t mind it. It is so full of holes (who has been picking the team/tactics for 18 months, he is literally the manager) but he was reaching the end-game & he’s gone nuclear. His words will be judged, ultimately, by the reaction of the players.
 
Bruce is going to live with deep regret that he ever took this job. Actually more than that, he should live profoundly embarrassed that he took the job and did **** all with it, instead pointing fingers at previous managers and saying “well they weren’t any good either” as if that’s ok, as if that yardstick is acceptable.

Shearer warned him. The only thing you can possibly do is come in and have a go. He ****ing bottled it, proving beyond doubt he’s neither a fan nor anything but an Ashley lackey.

Hopefully Carroll straightened his nose
 
It’s a shame no fans are allowed, the stadium would be toxic and would speed up the inevitable sacking.

He’s shortened to 7/2 for the sack next, nice odds.
