    Oh come on freer get off Bruce's back. Ok thinks didn't work out but he left us with a very decent squad and got us out of the poo after RDM struggled. He got us JT snodgrass and a host of other good players.
    He conducted himself admirably and stuck with the club after a summer of financial uncertainty.
    Stop being so blinkered and give credit where it's due.

    That's all folks

    He Failed!!!! I will not get over that 'no show' in the play off Final... sorry but when it mattered, he was left wanting. We had a lot of luck on the way but now he is History.
    I was looking through some old Derby Day clips on Youtube and still cannot believe the way he celebrated as blues manager when beating us!!
    Lets look forward and thank god we have Smith in Charge.

    With the way results went yesterday, more than ever, we need 3 points today.

    I acknowledge Bruce steadied the ship & deserves credit in that respect

    Bruce assembled the Championships most expensive squad, top heavy on full backs, cluttered with some implausibly hapless purchases

    JT snodgrass & your aforementioned host of other good (loaned) players….that was a financially unsustainable solution/short term fix !

    Bruce lost his job due to his antiquated tactic-less football we frequently failed to win games due to his uber cautious team selections, par exemple Jedinak & Whelan BOTH in midfield

    He should have been humanly destroyed at half time in his self induced Wembley debacle

    So lets talk about the future under Smith who unlike Bruce, doesn't big the opposition up, & doesn't play to avoid defeat, unlike Bruce he will set us up to win

    No doubt you'll be wearing your black arm band following ‘the wee fella’s’ departure as Irish team gaffa



    Just saying loike

    The point is the thread isn't about Bruce but you keep harping on about him. You got your wish and he's gone.

    Crikey Bongo mate, you got some neck, giving out to someone for harping on about a previous manager.

    That’s taking hypocrisy to a MONumental new level.

    Annoying, aint it?

    Erm…..your being somewhat hypercritical ‘Ol lad

    All 4 of your Fear or relish comments unerringly veer off in an unrelated direction to include/introduce Mr Steve Bruce

    As our new self appointed site moderator can we all adhere to your rules eh Bongo?

    Haha very true Excile. I just wanted a decent manager and we haven't had many if any since he left. Bruce was the best of the bunch.

    Been off work today recovering! But also been on YT watching every clip and blog from the game. You can easily see why they, the SHA are hated sooo much. Just love the sobbing after the game, oh we should have won, it was not a penalty, grealish jeeps falling over etc etc.
    They will be quiet for a while now!!
