Steve Bruce

He had to sell Henderson as well, wickham was wanted by every team in the land, and we got Gardner with the change who did well.

Short memories.

He was more than happy to tout Henderson around on a regular basis for around a year before Liverpool came in for him mind, not exactly as if he was sold against Bruce's wishes.

He was hounded for the following in order of importance (to our fans anyway)

1. We were struggling while mags were unexpectedly flying.

2. His record against mags was crap.

3. He called the fans out in their delusion and gave a perspective on what we are as w club.

4. He’d dangled top 6 carrot and hope of better things only for things to level out and finish 10th which was good achievement but spoilt brat fans wanted more.

5. Combine all above with him being of mag persuasion and you have a recipe for what happened at Wigan game.

People love talking about the winless runs but to finish 13th and 10th we must’ve had good runs as well. That is purely a convenient smokescreen as given the reasons above it’s quite clear the issue was the Newcastle fascination. The mags are no different by the way.

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

Fair summary from the BBC reporter:

Steve Bruce is unquestionably one of football's nice guys - and it was so good to see the smile back on his face tonight.

It's unfortunate for Hull City that their luck wasn't in. This game could so easily have gone the other way until it turned for Villa late on. But the Tigers have only themselves to blame for some poor defending.

And, after the year Bruce has endured on the personal front and the summer he has had to experience after play-off final despair in May, few would begrudge the former Hull City boss this result.

A good night for a good man at the KCOM Stadium. Goodnight.

Relive Aston Villa's win over Hull City

The stick he got here was unbelievable.
