Steve Bruce

He’s made a couple of decent signings this summer, Jed Wallace and John Swift. Dike and Karlan Grant should score goals but they’ve got a bloated squad with some big earners. Can see them pushing for play offs but not automatic promotion. They’ve got a tough start as well haven’t they, Boro and Watford in the first couple?

Ludicrous claims:
"I’ve done 45 unbroken years in the game, nobody has ever done that,” he adds with pride. “It’s given me a wonderful lifestyle, I don’t need to work if I don’t want to, but I still have that enthusiasm."

nobody else has been in football for 45 years ever. I mean straight away Alex Ferguson came to mind who was involved in football from 1957-2013. Or Bobby Robson who was involved for 54 years iirc.
There'll be loads of people involved in football for 45 years.
Unbroken he says, then later in the article talks about having 6 months out...

He says later in the piece that he's now appreciated by sunderland fans.


Also at the end of the article he talks about his current job

This club has been in the Premier League for 13 seasons out of the last 20, and when they haven't been there, they've largely been in the top four of the Championship. Last season was their worst finish, 10th in the Championship, for 20 years. That’s why I’m here. I’m going to make it the fifth promotion


their lowest finish in 20 years, yet they were in the play offs and only 8 points off first place when he arrived. Obviously not his fault.

He’s having a laugh with that best XI, no Bent? No Jones? No Mignolet? f***ing Catts isn’t fit to lace Zenden’s boots
