Bey they paid no more than 20 and it’s only 40 with a load of conditions met

sounds better to the fans if they say 40

Exactly right according to my mag neighbour when I was ripping it out of him last year. Only cost £15M apparently and the rest of the 40 is add ons.......aye right

How long were his winless runs with us?
Click to expand...
I think it was 13, he had a poor win ratio, 29.6, the worst of his career out of 11 teams, followed by Newcastle on 31.6.
He has to not win 3 more games to get Newcastle to equal the 26.58 with Sunderland.
He has to not win 3 to have a worst win ratio of 29.17.
More than achievable, come on Bruce lad, you can do it.

He’s floundering now, and has now decided to hang a lot on ASM returning. Whilst ASM is good, he was poor prior to having Covid, and will take a good while to get up and running anyway after illness. Nailed on he will get thrown in way too soon and end up missing another 6 games or something. Adding to that, apparently he has fallen out with Bruce anyway. He’s just Clinging on desperately.
 
I gave Rafa a fair chance and he continued to produce football that was mind numbing and only panicked when the sheet was ready to hit the fan in the January, which is when he allowed us to play some football with the quality we had, plus some good additions.

I've given Steve Bruce the benefit like that and he's had plenty of decent attacking players and attack minded players at his disposal, yet decided to play mind numbing football after actually having us playing acceptable and reasonably balanced football earlier on.

I can't continue watching games like this without wanting to scream and swear and generally just end up down...so for those reasons (dragon's den style) I won't be investing any more time in backing Bruce. I want him gone. Not tomorrow. Not next week. Not next month. NOW :mad::confused::rolleyes::neutral:

Mark Hughes would take it imo. Would be funny to see the meltdown

Mark Hughes is of similar stock to Bruce. Which is to say he’s a competent but fairly unremarkable Premier League manager who has enough about him to get approximately 10 wins and 10 draws per season, give or take (and it should be noted that in fairness Bruce is still comfortably on track to achieve this) which will see a side land anywhere between 10th and 17th depending on what kind of season it is.

He’s a talented lad - the type you could maybe sell for profit eventually but he’s being built up as world class by Bruce :lol:
I mean he’s not really as good as - say Barkley or Grealish or Maddison... to name but three.
Puts loads of pressure on him when he returns too which I doubt he will live up to.

Didn't do that at qpr though. I think they'd go nuts if he was Bruce 's replacement as they wouldn't see him as a big enough name. Be great fun to watch. Lower midtable at best or relegation. Very similar to current manager
