Who is he 2nd to? He would possibly be 3rd, we have had a manager that managed to win major Silverware.

I was referring to league places only, although I concede that I didn’t make it clear.
cheap! I was thinking a tenner at least

I would put him 3rd. It was the spell from the January to when he went after the Wigan game that did for him. But he was always dead man walking after the debacle at Sid James Park.

Bruce played the Mag card far more than the fans did. He implied on numerous occasions before his sacking that the only reason he was under pressure was because of his 'Geordie roots'

This, on the verge of something, then after losing quality players (not necessarily his fault) he replaced with sub standard shite he had worked with before.

This, flying at Christmas 6th I think, then he sold both Bent and Gyan and pissed the money away on shite.

I said it before. We started 2011 in 6th with Bent Gyan Welbeck Henderson Zenden and Steed. By the end of the year all of them had left the club, we were bottom 3 in danger of going down and Bruce was sacked.
Since then it was "Do everything to avoid relegation, sign lots of players quickly, sack managers and appoint them" rinse and repeat.
It's got to the stage now whereby we are 2nd bottom of the Championship, nee money and a hideously bad squad. Mismanagement and short-termism on a massive scale.

No he wasn't and no he won't.
He's spent a small fortune and may or may not end up promoted after 2 seasons in the second tier.

Bruce was the second best manager I’ve seen at sunderland.
Was made to sell Asamoah Gyan and then got loads of shit by not signing a replacement even though the window had shut, how do you replace that fucker?

Blaming our shit fans for behaving like kids and hounding Bruce out, more accurately

I don’t remember that happening. I do remember him selling Henderson and getting shit for spunking it all on Wickham and Gardner though.
