It makes perfect sense if ye can comprehend human emotion tbh Munse.
First and foremost, Nolan played for the club and in the years since Ashley came in took part in two of the best seasons we've had in that tenure. He also scored a hattrick against Sunderland in a ****ing incredible game. He was, overall, a good captain. I think it was in part Nolan pulling the dressing room together when Pardew came in that saw us beat Liverpool 3-1 at home.
Steve Bruce is a stranger to the club, the fans, has been a Sunderland manager where he claimed he was a huge fan, is in fact a Man U fan, has a terrible relationship with the fans (it wasn't always like that btw, it's self created) and now doesn't take his job seriously. He goes on holiday while every single team in the league is training.
so, they both have the same opinion on Mike Ashley, but have completely different histories with the football club.
I'd rather Nolan be honest and say what he thinks about the owner than pretend he hates him for fake fan clout.
Munson will obviously understand none of this
